times is a very much
welcomed and added bonus. CT1, which is widely regarded as the UK’s number one sealant and adhesive, has through these global events grown over 50% and has increased their share of the UK market to unprecedented heights. This has happened for a few
reasons. CT1, who has led the way in research and development in technology for the building industry, has long been respected in the market place. Respected for quality, for service and for advancements made in their products for the construction industry. CT1, which replaces all mastic, wood and PU adhesives, silicone, sanitary, acrylic and butyl rubber sealants in one product, were the first to introduce to the market a ‘Hybrid Polymer’. Always leading the way
in research and development, they realised that ‘Hybrid’ technology was now very much outdated. The industry required something that is not only home grown, but also able to keep up with the high expectations of a demanding and educated audience. We now need products that are much more eco- compliant, safer for the environment and safer for the home. CT1 fits that bill and is the only sealant and adhesive on the market that has 25 accreditations. CT1 has almost zero indoor emissions and is the only sealant globally to achieve a NAAF accreditation. The Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association awarded CT1 their prestigious accreditation, meaning when you use CT1 you are actually reducing the chance of asthma and allergy
attacks in the home.
Three times stronger The times that we live in now require products that can prevent the spread of bacteria and infection. BT1 - CT1’s sister product - has been designed to prevent the threat posed by MRSA, E. COLI, and Campylobacter. BT1 is truly revolutionary and is the only scientifically developed TRIBRID polymer with a unique resistance to mould and fungal infestation, thereby creating a much healthier environment.
CT1 with TRIBRID technology
provides the solution to all new modern demands. With longer colour retention, more antibacterial and fungal properties, three times stronger than previous, a higher resistance to UV and weather
Buying British made products and supporting the local and wider economy has never been so prevalent. At a time where the building industry has witnessed and worked through major life-changing events in both Britain and worldwide. From a global pandemic, to Brexit with stepping away from Europe to now a global raw materials crisis, to now a fuel shortage. The British building industry has still battered on and indeed flourished.
conditions and with 350% more elongation. CT1 technology - along with BT1 technology for bathrooms - cannot be matched. Furthermore, CT1 - which
comprises of the very best raw materials - has managed to continually supply industries, with no interruptions in delivery as a result of raw material shortages - unlike many competing products. CT1 continually invests in the best and will always deliver in times of need, while supporting the local economy and securing jobs.
Eco-compliant packaging But it doesn’t end there! CT1, who lead the way in sealant and adhesive technology,
are also leading the
way in producing eco-compliant packaging. This year CT1 will have broken the mould again. Their 2022 packaging will be 80% recyclable and can be recycled again! Keeping the ever-favourite cartridge as many prefer this traditional cartridge than other formats.
