Litokol Pixel 3D is a professional silicone sealant for sanitary use, here in color Bianco di Spagna (26). It is used to seal permanently elastic joints between tiles, stoneware, slabs, and mosaics, as well as connections around baths, showers, sinks, and kitchen countertops. The sealant comes in a 300 ml cartridge and is ready to use, no primer needed.
Color & Atmosphere
Bianco di Spagna (26) is a creamy white that is not quite a cold white. With cream-colored sanitary ware and travertine-look tiles, the joint almost disappears.
Product & Application
Pixel 3D cures under the influence of humidity and then remains elastic, so that the joint absorbs movement instead of cracking. The product is intended for floors and walls, indoors and outdoors, even under heavy use conditions.
- Ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware, and large slabs
- Ceramic and glass mosaic
- Terracotta, clinker, and reconstituted stone
- Glass, aluminum, and window frames
- Bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and wet rooms
- Swimming pools, fountains, terraces, balconies, and facades
- Expansion joints, even under heavy load
Observe the limit: do not use Pixel 3D in contact with marble or natural stone. Also avoid contact with bituminous and plasticizing materials such as butyl, EPDM, neoprene, and bituminous or insulating felt. The sealant cannot be painted over.
Substrate & Compatibility
The joint must be clean, dry, and grease-free. If you are repairing an existing joint, remove all old sealant before reapplication — especially if it has been affected by mold, as sealing over a contaminated joint will not solve the problem.
- Suitable for underfloor heating
- Adheres without primer to glass, ceramics, and aluminum
- Not for use on marble, natural stone, or porous materials
- Not in combination with bituminous or plasticizing materials
The number of types of tiles and substrates is so large that the manufacturer always recommends a test piece before starting the final joint.
Processing
Screw the plastic nozzle onto the cartridge and cut it diagonally to the required width. Place the cartridge in the caulking gun and inject the sealant into the joint in a single motion, without trapping air. Finish the joint within the open time — after that, the outside will seal, and the sealant can no longer be smoothed.
- Recommended processing temperature between +15 °C and +25 °C
- Skin formation after approximately 15 minutes
- Cures approximately 2 to 3 mm per 24 hours
- Lightly loadable after 24 hours, fully in use after 5 days
- Ensure good ventilation during curing
The curing time increases with the thickness of the joint: a deep joint takes longer than a shallow one. Avoid contact with solvents while the sealant is still curing, and store the cartridge in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight in warm weather. An opened cartridge should be used within a reasonable time.
Key Features
- Permanently elastic: stretches up to 250% before breaking
- Accommodates a total deformation of 25%
- Resistant to temperatures from −40 °C to +150 °C
- Adheres without primer to glass, ceramics, and aluminum
- Contains no solvents or isocyanates
- Ready to use and re-sealable, thus little residual waste

Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of joint can I get from one cartridge? That depends on the size of the joint. For a joint 6 mm wide and 5 mm deep, 300 ml will cover approximately 10 meters; for 10 mm wide and 10 mm deep, it will be approximately 2 meters.
Can I use Pixel 3D on marble or natural stone? No. The technical data sheet excludes contact with marble and natural stone. For these materials, a neutral-curing sealant is the appropriate choice.
Can I apply over an old, damaged sealant joint? No. The old sealant must be completely removed before reapplying. A new layer over a damaged joint will leave the underlying problem unresolved.
When can the shower be used again? The joint can be lightly loaded after 24 hours and fully used after five days. A deep joint will take longer, as the sealant cures at approximately 2 to 3 mm per 24 hours.
