Final – Sanitary silicone

The sanitary silicone was properly packaged to save space and reduce material consumption. The packaging was adapted to the size of the product, which avoids unnecessary waste. Instructions for use in German and English are attached to the back of the packaging and provide clear and understandable instructions for using the silicone. There are also corresponding application instructions on the tube itself. In addition to the silicone tube, a syringe tip for accurate application of the silicone and a tool for squeezing out the tube cleanly are included. However, the manufacturer did not provide any information on the recyclability of the packaging. Overall, the packaging gives a practical and simple impression. The focus here is clearly on functionality and user-friendliness.

Final ‘s sanitary silicone is characterised by a transparent appearance that blends seamlessly into various environments and therefore remains aesthetically unobtrusive. This property is particularly important in visible areas such as joints in showers, washbasins or kitchens, where a harmonious appearance is crucial. The processing of the product demonstrates excellent material quality, which is noticeable both during application and after curing. In addition, the material proved to be extremely robust and resistant after curing, even after prolonged contact with water or in heavily frequented areas.

Although the manufacturer does not provide any precise details on the sustainability of the materials used, the product quality suggests a long service life. These properties make Final Sanitary Silicone a reliable choice for households that value durability and aesthetics.

In the practical test, the sanitary silicone was tested for its performance in various areas. Firstly, the adhesion to different surfaces such as tiles, glass and metal was analysed. Here, the product showed very strong adhesion and was very difficult to remove from the surfaces, which emphasises its outstanding quality. The water resistance was also tested intensively by regularly spraying the silicone with water. The silicone retained its stability and showed no signs of detachment, making it ideal for use in damp rooms.

During the odour test, the typical vinegar smell of silicone was initially clearly perceptible after application. However, the odour disappeared completely after 24 hours of curing. This point is particularly important if the silicone is used indoors. In the cleaning test, the silicone showed a high resistance to standard household cleaning agents. There were no visible changes to the material after cleaning. Finally, the silicone was tested for cracking by subjecting it to mechanical stress on a flexible surface. No cracks or structural changes occurred, even under severe bending, which confirms the high durability and flexibility of the product.
