Deerfield Beach, FL -- Mapei has introduced Mapesil 100%-silicone sealant, the finishing touch for high-end tile and stone installations. “We’re offering a premium product to complete the ultimate quality installation,” said Brian Pistulka, Business Manager for Mapei’s Tile & Stone Installation Systems. Mapesil comes in 18 colors plus a clear, colorless variety.

Mapesil is Mapei's newest 100%-silicone sealant recommended for use on tile and stone installations.

The colors were designed to match the most popular colors of Mapei’s wide variety of grouts. Mapesil’s low odor and excellent weatherability make it ideal for interior and exterior applications on tile and stone. It forms a flexible filler between horizontal and vertical surfaces and in expansion joints when installing countertops, vanities, sinks, bathtubs, showers, steam rooms, backsplashes and fixtures.“Our customers will get improved performance, flexibility and expansion capabilities when they use Mapesil,” Pistulka added.

“These features of our silicone caulk result in a longer, more durable life for the installation than can be achieved with siliconized acrylic caulks.” The entire color selection of Mapesil silicone sealant will be in stock at Mapei wholesale distributors in late May. Detailed technical data sheets will be available on Mapei’s Website at that time.
