Collection: Acrylic sealant

Acrylic sealant is the most common sealant for indoor applications: it can be painted over, dries quickly, and is easy to apply. At wall and ceiling joints, door frame and wall connections, and interior mixed material joints—where the surface must be uniformly painted after sealing—acrylic sealant is the default solution.

What is acrylic sealant?

Acrylic sealant is a water-based sealant with an acrylic dispersion binder that can be painted after drying. It is elastic, but its flexibility is limited within its application range—silicone or MS polymer sealants are suitable for joints with greater movement (e.g., facade connections, wet rooms).

Where can acrylic sealant be used?

• At indoor wall and ceiling joints where a smooth, painted decorative surface is required;
• On the indoor side of door and window frames where the gap between the frame and wall must blend into the painted surface;
• At connections of coffered ceilings, suspended ceilings, and decorative moldings;
• For sealing joints and connections in indoor drywall systems;
• At the connection between wooden baseboards and floor coverings in dry areas.

Where should acrylic sealant NOT be used?

Acrylic sealant is not suitable for:

• Wet rooms (showers, bathtubs, kitchen splash zones)—it loses adhesion and molds under water and continuous moisture exposure;
• Outdoor connections—it does not withstand UV exposure and weathering;
• Joints with high movement—its flexibility is insufficient.

In these cases, silicone or MS polymer sealants should be used.

Drying time and painting

After applying acrylic sealant, a drying time of 1–2 hours is generally required before painting. Painting before drying can cause wrinkling on the sealant surface. It is compatible with both water-based and solvent-based paints.
