Dekalin DEKASEAL 1512 white 310 ml - skinning, paintable butyl sealant for roof hatches, overlaps and panel van conversions
- Plasto-elastic butyl sealant free of aromatic solvents. Forms a dry skin and can be painted, for visible joints and overlaps, 310 ml cartridge.
Dekalin DEKASEAL 1512 is a plasto-elastic sealing compound based on butyl rubber, free of aromatic solvents. Unlike the non-curing DEKASEAL 8936 it forms a dry skin and can be painted, so it is ideal for visible joints or seams that should remain as protection. The compound is non-sag, stays in vertical joints and adheres well to metal without pre-treatment. Colour white (described by the manufacturer as cream white).
Key features
- Forms a dry skin after approx. 1-2 hours, fully dry after 2-3 days
- Paintable once the surface is dry
- Non-sag compound that stays in vertical joints
- Good adhesion to metal without pre-treatment
- Free of aromatic solvents, from -30 to +100 °C
Use in motorhomes and caravans
DEKASEAL 1512 is used for sealing overlaps and grooves in metal joints, roof hatches, covers, cover strips and doors, ventilation systems in buses, caravans and campers, and between plywood floors and the metal frame. The manufacturer especially recommends it for panel van conversions, where the joint often stays visible and is painted afterwards.
The compound cannot be dabbed off because it forms a skin. Under flanges of parts that will be removed later and where you want to remove excess without a trace, choose DEKASEAL 8936.
How to use, step by step
- Clean and degrease the surface with DEKACLEAN Ultra. The substrate must be dry and dust-free.
- Cut the cartridge tip, trim the nozzle and apply with a manual gun or an air gun at 3-5 bar.
- Fill joints and sealing points completely, avoiding air bubbles.
- Tool visible joints right after application. The compound may shrink slightly as it dries.
- Remove fresh excess with acetone. Paint once a dry skin has formed.

Frequently asked questions
How does DEKASEAL 1512 differ from DEKASEAL 8936?
1512 forms a dry skin and can be painted but cannot be dabbed off. 8936 stays plastic and tacky, cannot be painted, but excess can be removed without a trace.
Does the compound shrink?
A slight shrinkage may occur during drying as the solvent evaporates, so fill joints completely and without bubbles.
