- Sealing air ducts, and water pipes
- Sealing tanks, service pipes, and boilers
- Sealing of joints subject to high chemical and thermal stress

Recommendations & Limitations
- Do not use Mapesil AC for joints in exterior between ceramic tiles and light-coloured natural stone because dirt could accumulate by the joints. In such cases, please contact Mapei Technical Service to identify the most suitable solution
- For sealing surfaces sensitive to acids such as limestone, use a neutral silicone sealant (e.g. Mapesil LM)
- The use of Mapesil AC is not recommended on highly plasticised material or on bituminous surfaces because of the release of substances that reduce bonding and penetrate into the sealant, altering the colour and resistance
- The resistance of Mapesil AC to chemical agents is generally excellent; however, due to the numerous products and working conditions to which Mapesil AC can be applied, it is always advisable to do a sample test in cases of doubt
- Do not use Mapesil AC to seal aquariums
- For sealing floor joints subject to heavy traffic, use a polyurethane (e.g. Mapeflex PU 45 FT) or epoxy-polyurethane (e.g. Mapeflex E-PU 21 SL) sealant
- Where Mapesil AC is to be applied in areas of continuous immersion, i.e. inside a swimming pool tank, the joints must be primed using Primer FD
