Will Formoa Crystal become yellow over time?
No, providing the user follows the correct instructions, Formoa Crystal will not become yellow even when exposed to UV and harsh conditions. There may be certain chemicals that cause the sealant to become yellow.
Why does Formoa Crystal have a blue tint when applied?
We aren't talking about the blue cartridge, but the blue tint is nothing to be worried about. The UV blockers incorporated into the product to help retain its clarity long-term are the cause of the blue tint. These will subside and it will become Crystal Clear.
Can I paint over Formoa Crystal after curing?
Yes, once Formoa Crystal is fully cured, it can be painted over. As there is no silicone based ingredients in Formoa Crystal , it will not cause paint bubbling or cracking.
Is Formoa Crystal safe to use?
Yes, Formoa Crystal doesn't contain any harmful chemicals. It may cause an allergic reation in some users. However, this is rare. Formoa Crystal also has ISEGA Food Safety Approval so can be used in any applications that require that accreditation.
Is Formoa Crystal the same as silicone?
Yes and no. Formoa Crystal does not contain any silicone-based ingredients. Instead, it is an MS polymer-based product. However, it is the same as silicone in that you can use Formoa Crystal instead of a silicone sealant. It has higher performance properties than a silicone. So if you want a cheap and cheerful product, it isn't for you.
