Frequently Asked Questions

Can Dowsil acrylic sealant be used in bathrooms?

Dowsil acrylic sealants are primarily designed for interior use in dry areas. For bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet environments, a sanitary silicone sealant is recommended as it offers better water resistance and anti-mould properties.

How long before I can paint over Dowsil acrylic sealant?

Most Dowsil acrylic sealants can be overpainted within 1-2 hours of application, though it's best to check the specific product instructions. Ensure the sealant has formed a skin before applying paint for best results.

What's the difference between acrylic and silicone sealant?

Acrylic sealants like Dowsil's range are paintable, making them ideal for decorating applications, but have lower water resistance than silicone. Silicone sealants offer superior waterproofing and flexibility but cannot be painted over.
