Litokol Pixel 3D is a professional silicone sealant for sanitary applications, presented here in Crystal (000) color. It allows you to permanently seal 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 for immediate use, without the need for a primer.
Color & Ambiance
Crystal (000) is neutral transparent rather than colored. This is convenient when no exact shade matches, or when the joint runs along glass and the color of the material itself needs to continue.
Product & Application
Pixel 3D cures under the influence of humidity and then remains elastic, allowing the joint to absorb movement instead of cracking. The product is intended for floor and wall, indoors and outdoors, even under heavy use conditions.
- Ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware, and large slabs
- Ceramic and glass mosaics
- 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 loads
Note the limitation: 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 is not paintable.
Substrate & Compatibility
The joint must be clean, dry, and grease-free. If you are repairing an existing joint, completely remove the old sealant before reapplying – 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 on marble, natural stone, or porous materials
- Not in combination with bituminous or plasticizing materials
The variety of tile types and substrates is so vast that the manufacturer always recommends a test piece before starting the final joint.
Processing
Screw the plastic nozzle onto the cartridge and cut it at an angle to the desired width. Insert the cartridge into the sealant gun and apply the sealant into the joint in one continuous motion, without trapping air. Finish the joint within the open time – after that, the exterior will close and the sealant can no longer be smoothed.
- Recommended application 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
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 timeframe.

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 cover approximately 2 meters.
Can I use Pixel 3D on marble or natural stone? No. The technical data sheet explicitly excludes contact with marble and natural stone. For these materials, a neutral-curing sealant is the appropriate choice.
Can I work over an old, contaminated sealant joint? No. The old sealant must be completely removed before reapplying. A new layer over a contaminated joint will leave the underlying problem unresolved.
When can the shower be used again? The joint is lightly loadable after 24 hours and fully operational after five days. A deep joint will take longer, as the sealant cures approximately 2 to 3 mm per 24 hours.
