S500 Stone & Concrete Silicone Sealant

Joint Sealing for Stone and Concrete Details

KEDA S500 is intended for non-structural connection and perimeter joints involving stone and concrete. Its purpose is joint sealing, not the bonding, anchoring or repair of stone components.

Product selection starts with the actual surface and joint design. Stone type, surface treatments, adjacent materials and exposure conditions all need to be considered before installation.

Application Areas for Assessment

  • Non-structural joints between stone finish elements.
  • Connections between stone and adjoining concrete or masonry.
  • Perimeter joints where stone finishes meet compatible frames or other building components.
  • Non-structural connection joints in concrete details.

These applications require confirmation for the selected product and project. Facade joints also require assessment of the complete joint assembly, exposure and expected movement.

Check Stone Compatibility Before Installation

A stone name alone is not enough to establish sealant suitability. Provide the stone type and finish, together with details of any factory treatment, impregnation or protective coating.

Arrange adhesion and staining assessments using representative project materials and the proposed sealant, primer, backing material and cleaning method. The assessment should address both the exposed face and the joint edges. Do not treat a quick spot check as a substitute for project-required testing.

No universal non-staining performance is claimed for S500 on this page. Compatibility must be established for the actual materials and conditions.

Application workflow

General Application Guide

This is a general workflow. Follow the instructions and safety information supplied with the selected product.

  • Confirm the joint design. Identify the joint's purpose, width, depth and expected movement. Match the design to verified sealant capability; do not use the sealant to compensate for loose panels or failed fixings.
  • Prepare the surfaces. Remove failed sealant, dust, loose cement residue and other contamination. Bonding surfaces must be sound, clean and dry. Check surface treatments and use cleaning methods approved for the stone and surrounding materials.
  • Prepare the backing. Use compatible backing material or bond-breaker tape as specified by the joint design so the sealant can move as intended.
  • Mask and prime where specified. Protect sensitive finishes with suitable masking tape. Use a primer only when approved for the selected sealant and substrate; a primer suitable for concrete is not automatically suitable for natural stone.
  • Fill and finish the joint. Apply a continuous bead with contact along both joint sides. Tool before skin formation and remove masking tape while the material remains workable. Do not introduce unapproved finishing liquids onto the stone.
  • Protect during curing. Keep the joint free from disturbance, contamination and premature exposure. Follow the supplied instructions for application conditions and the required curing period.

Provide ventilation and use the protective equipment specified in the supplied safety information.

Questions before ordering

Is S500 the same as marble adhesive or epoxy stone adhesive?

No. S500 is positioned for non-structural joint sealing. Stone repair, slab bonding and cladding attachment require an appropriate adhesive or fixing system selected for those tasks.

Is S500 guaranteed not to stain marble or granite?

A blanket guarantee is not made here. Staining performance needs to be established for the selected product and the actual stone, finish and joint materials before use.

Does concrete always need a primer?

Primer selection depends on the sealant, substrate condition and exposure. Provide details of concrete age, moisture condition and any curing compound or coating. Follow the confirmed preparation instructions rather than selecting a primer solely because it is labelled for concrete.

Can I choose a colour to match the stone?

Send the desired shade and, where possible, a reference sample. Any available colour and packaging option must be confirmed before ordering. A screen image or packaging illustration is not a reliable colour standard.
