(formerly Den Braven) has specialised in the ISO-certified production of high-quality sealants, adhesives, PU foams, and technical sprays for the construction and industrial sectors.

What is the coverage of Den Braven Acryl Anti-Crack?
Calculating the use of a sealant can be difficult. However, you can estimate the required amount using a simple formula based on the length, height, and depth of the joint. For example, if the joint is 5 metres long, 10 millimetres high, and 5 millimetres deep, you calculate 5 x 10 x 5 = 250 millilitres. You can apply approximately 6 metres of joint with one 330ml cartridge.
How should I apply Den Braven Sealant?
Apply the sealant with a caulking gun. Cut the tip of the cartridge off with a utility knife. Attach the nozzle to the cartridge opening and cut the nozzle at an angle that matches the desired width.
Insert the cartridge into the caulking gun and apply a consistent bead from left to right. Do not use excessive sealant. Wet your finger with soapy water, then gently smooth the bead. Ensure you do not press too hard to maintain a water-shedding joint.
Is Den Braven Acryl Anti-Crack paintable?
Yes, this sealant is paintable once it has dried. If you paint over it using a colour of your choice, the colour will remain true.
Are there alternatives for this product?

Den Braven Zwaluw Acryl Wet On Wet: This product allows you to paint over it immediately, even while the sealant is still wet.
