THE ORIGINAL LAMINATE WORKTOP JOINT SEALANT AND REPAIRER

First on the market – ColorFill worktop joint sealant and worktop joint repairer has been used by tradesmen since its formation 26 years ago. It is the de facto standard for Joiners and Worktop Fitters.

ColorFill has been scientifically formulated and tested to resist moisture, detergent and other household products. It will withstand heat and direct sunlight.

ColorFill is manufactured in the UK by Unika Color Products Ltd.

ColorFill was first manufactured in Australia in 1987 as a worktop joint sealant to match Formica worktops and laminated products sold in the region and in New Zealand. ColorFill was first brought into Europe with Formica in 1990 and was demonstrated to the trade on their exhibition stand at KBB Alexandra Palace.

The initial feedback couldn’t have been better and the founder of Unika Paul Rogers seized the opportunity and set up a company in Glasgow Scotland to market the worktop joint sealant products.

WATERPROOF WORKTOP JOIN SEALANT

ColorFill is 100% Waterproof – no amount of water will break ColorFill down. This makes ColorFill perfect for laminate worktop joints. We are more than happy for you test ColorFill’s waterproof properties. Now that’s what you need in a worktop joint

TECHNICAL TEST:

  • Squeeze out a liberal amount of ColorFill onto a laminate off cut.
  • Wait for it to dry – leave for 24 hours
  • Place ColorFill in a glass of water and leave there for as long as you like from a day to a year!

ColorFill with its hydrophobic base polymer structure and lack of additives such as surfactants and coalescing solvents as used with emulsion polymers, is impervious to water.

  • NO MORE BLOWN JOINTS

    Water-based Worktop Sealants, when dried out and immersed in water, pick up moisture. This causes the swelling of the cured polymer structure. These sealants will allow moisture to migrate into the worktop joint and diffuse into the chipboard core resulting in the opening of the joint and potential swelling of the core.

  • LARGE COLOUR RANGE

    ColorFill has the widest colour range of all Worktop Joint Sealants – 449 Colours to be exact and this number is increasing all the time as new laminate decors hit the market.

    You can view the ColorFill range available in New Zealand and the Laminates they match in our Colour-Matcher

  • COLORFILL GAURANTEE

    ColorFill can guarantee that when used correctly there will be no joint ingress this means there will be no snagging for the fitter and 100% customer satisfaction.

    With such high performance, a wide colour range and a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee, why choose anything else?

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: WORKTOP JOINTS

There are a number of ways to choose the correct ColorFill worktop joint sealant for your laminate.

You can use the worktop manufacturer or retailer information, or choose by colour.  Visit our Colour Matcher to find the right colour for your project.

  • You will need 1 Tube of ColorFill per joint
  • ColorFill should not be mixed or combined with any other material in the joint
  • Do not overstress joints
  • Apply and finish immediately. Don’t delay or ColorFill will set and no longer be effective

  • ColorFill worktop join application first step

    STEP 1

    Use 1 tube of ColorFill per joint. Apply a thick bead of ColorFill
    around the leading edge of the joint to both the bottom and top of the
    exposed core taking care to ensure adequate sealant around the front and
    back edges and bolt slots.

  • ColorFill worktop join application second step

    STEP 2

    Quickly close the joint and allow excess sealant to squeeze out of the
    joint, align the two sides and tighten the bolts fully. Do not
    overstress joints. It is important that the joint is closed quickly as
    the sealant will start to set immediately.

  • ColorFill worktop join application third step

    STEP 3

    The excess sealant should be removed with a spatula which should be
    drawn towards the front edge from the back of the worktop applying
    pressure down and into the joint thus ensuring there are no air holes
    along the top of the joint.
