Dap Inc 18526 Kitchen Bath Caulk Microban 5.5 Oz White

Product Description

The DAP INC 18526 is a siliconized latex caulk formulated for kitchen and bath applications where moisture resistance and long-term cleanliness matter. Sold under the Kwik Seal Plus line, it delivers a watertight, flexible seal and includes built-in Microban antimicrobial protection that works continuously to fight the growth of stain-causing and odor-causing bacteria and mildew. The formula is paintable, has low odor, and cleans up with water, making it practical for occupied spaces and occupied schedules. It comes in white and is packaged in a 5.5 oz tube. Licensed plumbers, tile setters, and remodeling contractors are the primary installers.

This caulk is suited for residential and light commercial kitchen and bath environments — anywhere a flexible, adhesive bead is needed to seal joints, transitions, or penetrations. It adheres to ceramic, plastic tile, glass, porcelain, cultured marble, wood, metal, fiberglass, and drywall, covering the full range of substrates commonly encountered in bathroom and kitchen surround installations. The Microban protection is built into the product and does not wash off or wear away under normal service conditions, keeping the caulk line cleaner between reapplications.

Installation Notes

Surface must be clean, dry, and free of old caulk, soap residue, and mildew before application. Apply at temperatures within the range specified on product packaging and allow adequate cure time before exposing the bead to water. Tile setters and finish plumbers typically handle this application; no special tools beyond a caulk gun and a smoothing tool are required. Remove excess material with a damp cloth before skinning occurs.
