Filoform Water-Activated Finishing Sponge

Easily smooth and shape Filoform sealants with this reusable, water-activated sponge.

  • Non-Stick Sealant Smoothing: Specially designed to smooth and finish MD+ mastic and FiloSeal+ compounds without sticking, dragging, or tearing the sealant surface.

  • Water-Activated Expansion: Expands from a ultra-compact 1.2mm dry wafer up to 15mm thickness when soaked in water for easy handling on site.

  • Professional Edge Sealing: Enables installers to easily dab and mold compound tight against complex cable profiles, conduits, and duct walls to ensure an airtight, watertight perimeter.

  • Reusable & Durable Design: Made from natural cellulose fibers reinforced with regenerated sponge material, allowing it to be rinsed and used repeatedly across multiple installations.

  • Integrated Fungicide Treatment: Formulated with protective antimicrobial properties to prevent mold growth and maintain hygiene during storage and reuse in damp conditions.

The Filoform Finishing Sponge is a specialized, water-activated accessory designed to ensure a clean, smooth, and professional surface finish when applying Filoform duct sealing mastics. Specially formulated for use alongside MD+ Sealant and Filoseal+ Duct Seal, this reusable sponge prevents sealing compounds from sticking to hands or tools during installation.

Made from high-density cellulose, the sponge expands when moistened with clean water. By wiping down freshly applied duct sealant, it flattens surface irregularities, eliminates air pockets, and shapes the mastic neatly around complex cable configurations. Achieving a smooth outer finish not only improves aesthetics but also ensures an optimal watertight and gas-tight barrier against the duct wall.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Water-Activated Cellulose: Holds moisture effectively to provide a non-stick barrier while shaping sealant mastics.
  • Designed for Filoform Mastics: Compatible with Filoform MD+, Filoseal+, and HD Fire duct sealing systems.
  • Reusable & Durable: Easy to rinse clean with water after use for multiple cable duct installations.
  • Professional Finish: Ensures complete, gap-free sealant distribution around cable bundles.
