High-Performance Non-Setting Mastic for Construction and Industrial Applications

Soudal Butyrub Non-Setting Mastic is a premium, solvent-based sealant specifically designed for sealing static and low-movement joints in construction and industrial environments. Its easy-to-apply consistency allows both professional contractors and DIY users to achieve a smooth, uniform finish with minimal effort. Upon application, the mastic forms a flexible skin within 24 hours, while the underlying material remains permanently pliable, allowing it to self-heal and accommodate minor structural movements or thermal expansion without cracking or breaking down.

 

Long-Lasting Flexibility and Weather Resistance

Engineered for resilience, Soudal Butyrub delivers outstanding resistance to UV radiation, adverse weather conditions, and a wide range of chemicals. This makes it suitable for both internal and external applications, providing long-term performance even when exposed to challenging environmental factors. Its non-hardening composition ensures that the seal remains flexible over time, maintaining effective water and air tightness without the risks of shrinking or deterioration that can affect traditional setting mastics.

 

Exceptional Adhesion to a Wide Range of Substrates

Soudal Butyrub exhibits excellent adhesion to many common porous building materials, including concrete, brickwork, stone, timber, and metal. It is particularly effective for sealing joints around window frames, masonry, roof structures, and metal cladding. Its versatility also makes it ideal for container sealing and single-glazing applications, where the balance between strength and flexibility is crucial. The strong bond it forms ensures durability, preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the sealed structure over time.

 

Paintable and Easy to Integrate into Decorative Finishes

Once cured to a skin after 24 hours, Soudal Butyrub can be overpainted with most conventional paint systems, allowing seamless integration into decorative projects without compromising the seal’s performance. Its ability to be painted ensures aesthetic consistency while providing a hidden, robust seal behind finishes. This feature is particularly valuable in applications where appearance is as important as protection, such as heritage restorations or architectural projects.

 

Ideal for Repair and Maintenance Applications

The non-setting and self-repairing properties of Soudal Butyrub make it an ideal solution for repair and maintenance tasks. In instances of minor mechanical damage, the self-healing skin re-closes over small defects, maintaining the barrier against water ingress and reducing the need for frequent reapplication. Its combination of flexibility, chemical resistance, weatherproof durability, and ease of use make it one of the most dependable and versatile mastic options available for demanding construction, industrial, and maintenance applications.

Health & Safety Recommendations

When using Soudal Butyrub, it is essential to take the usual labour hygiene precautions. Always wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including gloves and eye protection.

Ensure the workspace is well ventilated during application. Consult the product label and Material Safety Data Sheet for further detailed safety information prior to use. Keep the product away from sources of ignition and store out of reach of children.

 

 

Substrate Suitability

Soudal Butyrub is formulated to provide excellent adhesion on all commonly encountered building substrates. It is particularly effective when used on wood, concrete, stone, aluminium, and various other metals.

However, it is not suitable for use on natural stones such as marble and granite, as staining may occur. It is also unsuitable for applications involving the sealing of insulating glass units or safety glass.

 

 

Surface Preparation

Prior to application, all surfaces must be properly prepared. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any other contaminants that may impair adhesion.

A preliminary adhesion test should be carried out on each substrate to confirm compatibility and performance before commencing full application. Proper preparation ensures optimum performance and maximises the durability of the seal.

 

 

Application Method

Soudal Butyrub should be applied using a standard caulking gun. Once the mastic is extruded onto the joint or surface, it is important to immediately spray the sealant surface with a mild soapy solution. This step is essential to prevent premature skin formation during tooling.

After spraying, the joint can be finished to the desired profile using the Soudaglatt Smoothing Tool or an alternative smoothing implement. A wetted finger may also be used where appropriate to achieve a neat finish.

The final appearance should be smooth and free from air bubbles or breaks. It is recommended to avoid using the product in joints that will be subject to continuous immersion in water.

Coverage of Soudal Butyrub will vary depending on the width and depth of the joint or surface area being sealed. Always calculate joint dimensions carefully to estimate product requirements accurately. Please refer to our Guide on How To Measure The Number of Tubes Required For the Job.

 

 

Joint Dimensions

  • Minimum Width for Joints: 5 mm

  • Maximum Width for Joints: 20 mm

  • Minimum Depth for Joints: 5 mm

  • Recommendation Sealing Jobs: Joint Width = Joint Depth. Use PE backer rods before applying the sealant in large joints to avoid 3-point adhesion.

 

 

Finishing

After application and smoothing, the mastic will form an elastic surface skin within approximately 24 hours. Soudal Butyrub can be painted over once the skin has formed, provided that the selected paint is sufficiently elastic to accommodate the flexibility of the sealant.

Due to the wide variety of paints available on the market, a compatibility test is strongly recommended before full application to ensure that the paint adheres correctly and does not crack.

 

 

Cleaning

Any uncured Soudal Butyrub should be removed immediately using a surface cleaner or Soudal Swipex Cleaning Wipes for best results.

Once cured, the product can only be removed mechanically. Tools and equipment should be cleaned promptly after use to maintain their condition and ensure consistent performance on future applications.

 

 

Other Information

Store Soudal Butyrub in a cool, dry place at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C. Protect the product from frost and direct sunlight. When stored under these conditions in unopened packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 12 months.

Do not blend Soudal Butyrub with other sealants or mastics, as this may adversely affect its performance characteristics.
