They may seem similar at first glance, each has distinct characteristics, applications, and curing processes that sets it apart. Choosing the right type of silicone for your project is essential, as it affects the durability and aesthetic appeal of your sealing work.
The most important distinction between neutral and acetoxy silicone lies in their chemical composition.
When it comes to compatibility with materials, then neutral silicone has a clear advantage.
In summary, choosing between neutral silicone and acetoxy silicone depends on the specific requirements of your project. While the pricing of silicones can vary based on specific formulation, neutral silicone is typically slightly more expensive than acetoxy silicone. However, when you are unsure about material compatibility, it is always preferable to use neutral silicone, such as Penosil Sanitary & Food-Grade Silicone 326 and Neutral Silicone 317. Neutral silicone guarantees a secure, weatherproof and long-lasting seal without the risk of damaging surfaces.
Acetoxy silicones, such as Penosil Sanitary Silicone 313, are recommended for work where quick curing time, cost-efficiency and strong adhesion are important. Acetoxy silicone’s exceptionally strong and durable adhesion with non-porous materials makes it an
