3C LMT SILICONE FAQ's
When it comes to low modulus silicone sealants, they tend to fall into 2 x main categories, Oxime & Alkoxy. Both systems have pros & cons but in general it is accepted that in some cases Oxime sealants (which release MEKO) can have hazard warnings on both documentation and packaging which many countries are in the process of eradicating altoghether due to health and environment considerations. Solvent-free Alkoxy sealants (which release alcohol) do not carry these negative warnings. The main difference for comparison in use with these types of low mods is the skinning and working time involved, Oxime skins quicker and Alkoxy gives the user more workability time. We have co-written a detailed blog about Low Mod Silicone Sealants - you can see it on our corporate website here.
The simple answer is yes it can but in general, all low modulus silicone sealants are designed for use externally due to several factors, the most important being the difference in movement on exterior facades etc. compared to interior joints. With this in mind the cure systems tend to be very different to silicone sealants designed for internal use. Whereas 3C LMT SILICONE has a solvent-free, neutral Alkoxy cure system, this needs a good amount of air to cure the silicone whereas an internal (high modulus) silicone sealant such as our 3C HM has an acetoxy cure system (the familiar vinegar odour that many associate with) which sets the curing process in action.
As mentioned above, 3C LMT SILICONE is a solvent-free Alkoxy, so when comparing ONLY these types of products with similar in the marketplace, we can honestly say that our product's quality speaks for itself! The only way to truly see if you like a product is to try it for yourself!

Although we market 3C LMT SILICONE as a 'professional mastic sealant applicator' product, of course, this means that it's at the top of it's game for quality and performance, so yes indeed all types of users can benefit from the premium workability and fully cured durability that it offers! We sell the product by the thousands to many other trades such as glaziers, builders, cladding companies and home users alike.
