The OTTOSEAL® S 100 Sanitary Silicone white gloss (C01), item number 13115, is a premium solution for tile setters, stone workers, and craftsmen who rely on top-quality and reliable sealing for joints and connections in sanitary areas. The high-quality silicone provides excellent processing properties and exceptional resistance to moisture, weathering, and chemical stress, ensuring precise and long-lasting seals.
Applications and Product Benefits
The OTTOSEAL® S 100 Sanitary Silicone is a 1K silicone sealant based on acetate, suitable for a wide range of applications both indoors and outdoors. It ensures that your sealing work remains reliable and long-lasting even under constant moisture stress and extreme environmental conditions. Typical areas of application include:
-
Sealing of expansion and connection joints in floor and wall areas
-
Sanitary area: Ideal for joints in bathrooms, showers, and other damp areas
-
Sealing of profile glass and glass blocks
With its excellent workability and good moldability, the silicone can be easily smoothed and shaped into different joint forms for always professional results.
Special Benefits of the Sanitary Silicone
The Sanitary Silicone offers a variety of outstanding properties, making it particularly suitable for use in damp areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. One of the product's biggest strengths is its mold and bacteria resistance. Thanks to a special additive, the formation of mold and bacteria is actively prevented, making the silicone a hygienic choice for all areas where moisture and heat pose a higher risk of microbial contamination. This protective property remains consistent even with regular use and under typical conditions in damp areas, ensuring long-term hygienic sealing.
Another remarkable feature of the sanitary silicone is its excellent resistance to weathering, aging, and UV radiation. Even under extreme climatic conditions, the silicone remains stable and maintains its sealing performance over the years. Sun, rain, or frost cannot damage the material, and it stays shape-stable without showing cracks or discoloration. This durability ensures that it provides reliable sealing even in challenging outdoor conditions, contributing to protection against moisture and other environmental influences.
Additionally, the sanitary silicone impresses with its high elasticity. With an overall deformation of up to 50% according to ISO 9047 and a permissible overall deformation of 25% according to EN 15651, it can be used in areas that regularly move or stretch. This property is particularly important for joints that, for example, are exposed to temperature fluctuations or mechanical stresses such as vibrations. The silicone remains flexible and can cope with these movements without cracking or leaks, ensuring long-lasting sealing.
Finally, the silicone scores with impressive temperature resistance, ranging from -40 °C to +180 °C. This wide range makes it ideal for use in various climatic conditions – both indoors and outdoors, in areas exposed to extreme temperatures. Whether in frost or heat, the silicone remains fully functional and retains its elastic properties.
Thanks to these outstanding features, the Sanitary Silicone is a reliable, durable, and versatile solution for all sealing and joint applications in damp areas and other areas that require long-term, secure sealing.

Application Tips for Sanitary Silicone
Before applying the Sanitary Silicone, the substrates should be thoroughly prepared. Ensure that they are clean, dry, and free from grease or oil, as contaminants can affect the adhesion of the silicone. For particularly strong adhesion on non-porous substrates, such as glass or metal, it is advisable to treat the surfaces with an appropriate cleaner. This will ensure perfect adhesion of the silicone and ensure that its sealing effect lasts for the long term.
In some cases, especially with glazed ceramics or stainless steel, the use of a primer may be required to further optimize the adhesion of the silicone. A primer forms an additional bonding layer between the surface and the silicone, ensuring that the seal remains reliable and long-lasting.
After the silicone has fully cured, maintaining the joints is particularly simple. To keep the silicone in optimal condition, regularly check the joints for dirt. A damp clean with a soft cloth is usually sufficient to remove dirt and protect the silicone from mold formation or wear. Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents, as they may damage the surface of the silicone.
Additional Accessories
For optimal processing, we recommend additional accessories such as smoothers and primers for special substrates to improve adhesion.
