Buy Sealants & Silicone Sealants in Singapore

Browse silicone sealants, acrylic sealants and waterproof sealants for homeowners, contractors and maintenance teams. Sealants fill gaps and seal joints to help reduce water ingress, draughts and dust penetration.

Common applications include:
• Bathroom, shower, bath and basin joints
• Kitchen sink and countertop joints
• Window frames, door frames and glazing
• Interior wall, ceiling and skirting gaps
• Exterior joints exposed to rain and sunlight

Compare available sealant prices, pack sizes and product specifications before ordering. Check the recommended substrates and joint dimensions alongside the intended application.

Silicone Sealant for Bathrooms, Kitchens & Flexible Joints

Silicone sealant is commonly used for joints that require flexibility and moisture resistance. It remains elastic after curing and accommodates movement within the product's specified limits.

Suitable formulations can be used for:
• Shower tray, bath and basin edges
• Kitchen sink and worktop joints
• Glass panels and tiled joints
• Window and door frame perimeters

For wet areas, choose a bathroom silicone sealant or sanitary silicone rated for the application. Check mould-resistant properties and compatibility with the bath, tray, tiles or surrounding surfaces.

For sensitive materials such as natural stone and certain metals, check whether a specific formulation is required. Most conventional silicone sealants cannot be painted, so consider the finished appearance before application.

Acrylic Sealant for Paintable Interior Gaps

Acrylic sealant suits many interior finishing jobs where the sealed area needs painting. It is commonly used as a paintable caulking sealant for gaps with limited movement.

Typical applications include:
• Gaps between skirting boards and walls
• Interior door frames, architraves and trims
• Wall and ceiling junctions
• Small, non-structural cracks and joints

Follow the manufacturer's drying or curing instructions before painting. For gaps exposed to regular water contact or significant movement, select a sealant specifically rated for those conditions.

Waterproof Silicone Sealant & Outdoor Sealing

A suitably rated waterproof silicone sealant helps prevent water entering through a correctly prepared joint. Waterproof performance depends on product suitability, adhesion, joint design and full curing.

Depending on the product specification, waterproof sealants may be used for:
• Bathroom and wet-room joints
• Window perimeters exposed to rain
• Exterior wall and balcony joints
• Selected gutter, flashing and roof-edge joints

For exterior joints, choose an outdoor silicone sealant or another weatherproof sealant rated for the materials and exposure. Check UV resistance, weather resistance and movement capability.

Water resistance alone does not confirm suitability for standing water or continuous immersion. Use a product specifically approved for those conditions. Joint sealants also serve a different purpose from waterproofing membranes and surface coatings.

Window Sealant for Frames & Glazing Joints

Choosing a window sealant requires checking the frame material, surrounding surface and location of the joint. Interior frame finishing, exterior perimeter sealing and glazing can require different products.

When selecting a sealant for windows, consider:
• Compatibility with glass, aluminium, timber, uPVC or masonry
• Exposure to rain, sunlight and temperature changes
• Movement between the frame and surrounding wall
• Whether the finished joint needs painting

A suitably rated silicone sealant can provide flexible sealing around compatible window components. Follow the window system's guidance and keep drainage openings clear.

Silicone Glue, Silicone Adhesive & Adhesive Sealants

If you are looking for silicone glue or silicone adhesive, first check whether your task involves bonding materials, sealing a joint or both. Products described as silicone adhesive sealants may combine these functions, but their approved uses vary.

Compare products by:
• Materials to be bonded or sealed
• Required bonding strength and flexibility
• Indoor, outdoor or wet-area suitability
• Curing time and any temporary support required

A general-purpose silicone sealant should not automatically be treated as a structural adhesive. For bonding tasks, choose a product with stated adhesion performance for the materials involved.

Choosing the Right Sealant for Your Application

Select your sealant according to the joint conditions rather than waterproof claims alone.

Before buying, check:
• Location: interior, exterior or wet area
• Surfaces: glass, tiles, metal, timber, masonry or plastic
• Movement: the flexibility required at the joint
• Finish: whether painting is needed
• Exposure: rain, sunlight, cleaning chemicals or immersion
• Application: joint size, primer requirements and curing time

For Singapore homes and buildings, common projects include bathroom resealing in HDB flats, window maintenance in condominiums and exterior joint repairs in landed homes. Match each product to the actual location and materials.

Sealant Application & Maintenance Tips

Good preparation helps silicone sealants and other joint sealants adhere correctly. Follow the product instructions for cleaning, priming, application and curing.

Best practices include:
• Removing deteriorated sealant and loose material before resealing
• Preparing clean surfaces to the manufacturer's requirements
• Checking whether a primer or backing material is required
• Using a suitable caulking gun for cartridge products
• Applying a continuous bead and tooling it as instructed
• Allowing the specified curing time before painting or water exposure

Inspect joints periodically for separation, gaps and deterioration. If a leak returns, identify the underlying cause before replacing the seal. A dry surface does not necessarily mean the sealant has fully cured.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sealants

What is the difference between silicone and acrylic sealant?
Silicone sealant generally offers greater flexibility and is commonly used for moisture-resistant joints. Acrylic sealant is typically paintable and suits interior gaps with limited movement. Check the specific product's recommended applications.

Is silicone sealant waterproof?
Many silicone sealants provide waterproof sealing after full curing when applied correctly to compatible surfaces. Check the product instructions for water-exposure times and any restrictions on immersion.

Which silicone sealant should I use outdoors?
Choose an outdoor silicone sealant rated for the surfaces, weather exposure and expected joint movement. Check UV resistance and exterior-use approval before application.

Which sealant should I use around a shower or bath?
Choose a sanitary silicone sealant rated for bathroom use and compatible with the shower tray, bath and surrounding surfaces. Check mould resistance and allow the specified curing time before using the area.

Can silicone sealant be painted?
Most conventional silicone sealants cannot be painted. If painting is required, choose a suitable paintable acrylic sealant or another explicitly paintable formulation rated for the application.

Is silicone glue the same as silicone sealant?
Silicone glue or silicone adhesive is intended for bonding, while silicone sealant primarily seals joints. Some products perform both functions. Check the stated uses, compatible materials and bonding requirements.

How long does sealant take to cure?
Curing time depends on the formulation, bead dimensions, temperature and humidity. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for full curing, painting and water exposure.
