Marine Silicone for bathroom?

[plodder]

After reading the posts on various types of silicone & modulus etc,

(see :- //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10157&highlight=silicone )


I was advised the other day to "only use MARINE SILICONE in a bathroom"This is the grade of silicone as used on boats and in aquariums and apparently will not go mouldy. This geocell/dow corning link shows the product I am thinking of using at top of page. It's high modulus so I m not sure if thats a good or bad thing when it comes to sealing around the bath rim and basin rim etc

Can anyone tell wether they have used such a marine selant product in a bathroon environment and whether its a good idea as per the recent advice I was given.

thanks

Yes, you can use 'marine' high modulus silicone in the bathroom.

But this will not contain a fungicide to prevent mould growth (the black stuff) that appears on silicone after a while.

Don't tell me your location, is it Poole, Plymouth, Corby or Kidderminster????
