Difference Between Acetic Silicone Sealants and Neutral Sealants

Acetic silicone sealants release acetic acid (which smells a little like vinegar) as they cure, this is the most commonly used - it is more rigid and the full cure is quick. On the downside, it generally has poor adhesion and leaves much to be desired in how well it 'sticks' to PVC-U, most other plastics, and glass, aluminium and Polycarbonate.

Neutral (meaning neutral alcoxy) silicone sealants release alcohol as they cure, and has almost no smell, they have better adhesive properties for a greater number of materials including PVC-U, most other plastics, glass, aluminium, lead, stone and masonry and Polycarbonate. On the downside, they can be more expensive and is slower to cure at one to five days depending on thickness, temperature and humidity conditions.
