Applications and Benefits
The OTTOSEAL® S 100 Silicone is a high-quality 1K silicone sealant based on acetate, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This silicone is particularly effective in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature conditions. Typical application areas include:
-
Joint sealing in bathrooms, showers, and other wet rooms
-
Sealing of connection and expansion joints in wall and floor areas

Bonding of profile glass and glass blocks
With excellent workability and the ability to shape it, the silicone can be easily adjusted and smoothed, ensuring a clean and professional finish.
Advantages of OTTOSEAL® S 100 Silicone
A standout feature of this silicone is its mould and bacteria resistance, achieved through a special additive that effectively prevents the formation of mould and bacteria. This ensures that your seal remains hygienic and stable in the long term. This property remains effective under typical conditions in damp areas.
Additionally, the silicone offers excellent resistance to UV radiation, weathering, and aging. It maintains its shape stability and sealing performance even in extreme outdoor temperatures. Neither sun, rain, nor frost affect the material.
The silicone also features remarkable elasticity. With a total deformation of up to 50% according to ISO 9047 and an allowable elongation of up to 25% according to EN 15651, it is particularly suitable for applications in areas with constant movements and expansions, such as those caused by temperature fluctuations or mechanical loads.
Thanks to its excellent temperature resistance from -40°C to +180°C, the silicone is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
With these exceptional properties, the OTTOSEAL® S 100 is a reliable, durable, and flexible solution for all sealing tasks in damp areas.

Application Tips
Before use, the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned and checked for cleanliness. It should be dry and free from grease or oil. For optimal adhesion to non-porous materials like glass or metal, we recommend using a suitable cleaner. For glazed ceramics or stainless steel, a primer may be necessary to improve adhesion.
After curing, maintenance is simple. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is sufficient to remove dirt and protect the seal from mould growth and wear.
Additional Accessories
For even easier application, we recommend accessories such as smoothers and primers to optimise adhesion to specific substrates.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone
How long does it take for OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone to fully cure?
The OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone typically requires around 24 hours to fully cure. However, curing time can depend on ambient humidity and temperature. Under normal conditions (at 23°C and 50% relative humidity), the silicone is load-bearing after this time. For thicker layers or extremely low temperatures, the curing time may be longer.
Can OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone also be used outdoors?
Yes, OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It offers excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and weathering, making it ideal for outdoor applications. It is an excellent choice for window joints, façade sealings, or applications in areas exposed to direct sunlight and changing weather conditions.
Which surfaces is OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone suitable for?
The OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone is highly versatile and adheres to many different materials, including:
- Glass
- Ceramics (e.g., tiles and sanitary ceramics)
- Metals such as aluminium and stainless steel
- Plastic-coated surfaces
- Concrete and natural stone
- Wood (for specific requirements)
Before applying the silicone, ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. In some cases, particularly with smooth or porous surfaces, the use of a special primer may be necessary to improve adhesion.
Is OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone suitable for use in wet areas?
Yes, OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone is ideal for use in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, or kitchens. It is particularly resistant to moisture, mould, and bacteria. The silicone prevents water infiltration and provides long-lasting sealing, even in areas with high humidity. Due to its mould resistance, it also ensures a hygienic and clean joint area over the long term.
How do I clean the surface after applying OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone?
After the OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone has fully cured, any excess material or dirt can be removed with a silicone remover or solvent. Be sure not to use sharp or abrasive tools that could damage the sealant. If the silicone has been applied in areas that require regular maintenance (e.g., bathrooms or kitchens), you can clean it with regular cleaning agents and soft cloths.
How do I apply OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone correctly?
For the application of OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone, we recommend first thoroughly cleaning the joints or gaps. Ensure that the surfaces are dry and grease-free. Cut the nozzle of the cartridge to the desired joint width and insert the cartridge into a silicone gun. Apply the silicone evenly into the joint and immediately smooth it with a joint smoother or damp spatula. To ensure a neat joint, you can also cover the silicone with a suitable masking tape.
Can OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone be painted?
OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone is not suitable for painting with colours as the surface structure of the silicone may impair the adhesion of paints. If aesthetic adjustments are required, we recommend selecting the silicone joint to match the colour scheme of the surrounding area to achieve a harmonious appearance.
How do I remove OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone from my hands or other surfaces?
Uncured OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone can be easily washed off hands with warm water and soap. For stubborn silicone residues, you can use a silicone remover or a special cleaning agent. Be careful not to use harsh chemicals that could damage surfaces or skin.
Can I use OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan Silicone for all types of sealing?
OTTOSEAL® S 100 Manhattan silicone is excellent for a variety of applications, particularly for sealing windows, doors, and facades. It is especially effective for seals in wet areas, in sanitary applications, and for use on ceramics, glass, and plastics. For other applications (e.g., in areas with extreme mechanical loads), we recommend checking suitability before use.
