One of the most common and well-known applications of a (silicone) joint sealant is undoubtedly in your bathroom and kitchen. In recent years bathrooms and kitchens have become more luxurious. More and more money and time is spent to create a “wet” area that ticks all the boxes of the consumer’s needs, demands and requirements.

Classic sanitary materials, such as ceramics, enamel and glass are being replaced by materials such as natural stone, stainless steel and plastics such as polyester and PMMA (Poly Methyl Meth Acrylic). In order to ensure optimum adhesion and to achieve a durable and sustainable seal on these “new” materials, also “new” joint sealants are required. Based on this trend Den Braven sees a movement from the more traditional acetoxy silicone joint sealants towards neutral curing systems.

To avoid staining natural stone surfaces Den Braven offers products specifically developed for bonding and sealing these types of materials. Products suitable for use on natural stone are Zwaluw Silicone-NM, a non-staining flexible and durable joint sealant and Zwaluw Hybrifix® 302, a non-staining flexible and durable adhesive.

The trend now is moving towards a wide choice of colours of buildings and construction materials. Den Braven is embracing this trend by offering a high-end durable silicone: Zwaluw Silicone-COLOURS + NS can be produced in any required colour and is stocked in 14 standard colours.

Den Braven's high-end sanitary joint sealants are developed to function as durable and long-lasting joint sealants that will prevent mould growth in bathrooms and kitchens.

The product characteristics and performance of all these products is developed and optimised in close cooperation with professional caulking contractors. This is to ensure that the craftsman and consumer can apply a high quality product in the most convenient way with maximum results.
