Product overview

Selleys All Clear is a multi-purpose sealant built for most building materials — roofs, gutters, bricks, and shower screens (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). This solvent-based product is designed for applications where transparency and adhesion to varied substrates matter. Selleys, a division of DuluxGroup (Australia) Pty Ltd, manufactures and supplies it. The product is classified as a hazardous material requiring specific handling protocols (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

It comes in three package sizes — 80g, 250g, and 260g — across a range of distribution configurations, from single units to multi-pack retail presentations (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Every variant uses the same chemical formulation and delivers the same performance characteristics, differing only in volume and packaging format.

Chemistry & composition

Primary solvent system

Selleys All Clear uses a dual-solvent carrier: cyclohexane at 10–30% w/w (CAS 110-82-7) and hydrotreated light petroleum naphtha at 10–30% w/w (CAS 64742-49-0) (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). This combination keeps the sealant workable during application, wets the substrate surface to build adhesion, then evaporates to allow the remaining components to cure into a solid seal.

Cyclohexane is a cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon. Its relatively low boiling point drives rapid initial evaporation — which is also what gives the product its flammability characteristics. The hydrotreated light petroleum naphtha fraction combines aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons that have been catalytically treated to remove sulphur and nitrogen compounds, producing a cleaner-burning, lower-odour solvent component (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Functional additives

The formulation includes three specialised additives at concentrations below 1% w/w each (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf):

UV stabilisers: Selleys All Clear contains a benzotriazole derivative (CAS 104810-48-2) and a hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole derivative (CAS 104810-47-1), each at less than 1% w/w (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). These ultraviolet light absorbers protect the cured sealant from sun damage by absorbing harmful UV radiation and releasing it as heat, shielding the polymer matrix from the chain scission and oxidative breakdown that causes yellowing, cracking, and loss of mechanical strength.

Adhesion promoter: Trimethoxy[3-(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]silane (CAS 2530-83-8) is present at less than 1% w/w (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). This organosilane coupling agent forms chemical bonds with both inorganic substrates — glass, ceramic, masonry — and the organic polymer matrix. The trimethoxysilyl end hydrolyses in the presence of moisture, forming silanol groups that bond with hydroxyl groups on substrate surfaces. The epoxy-functional end reacts with or mechanically entangles with the polymer, creating a molecular bridge that delivers strong adhesion and long-term durability.

Balance of formulation

The remaining components — listed as non-hazardous or below reporting limits — make up the balance of the formulation (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). This fraction includes the base polymer system, plasticisers, fillers, and other proprietary components that give the cured sealant its mechanical strength, flexibility, and sealing performance.

Applications & suitable substrates

Selleys All Clear is suited to sealing applications on most building materials, with specific suitability confirmed for roofs, gutters, bricks, and shower screens (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Its adhesion profile covers both porous and non-porous materials.

Roofing applications: Roofing materials face constant thermal cycling, UV exposure, and water. The UV stabiliser package addresses photodegradation directly, while the solvent-based formulation penetrates porous substrates like concrete roof tiles for a bond that holds through demanding conditions.

Gutter sealing: Gutters expose a sealant to standing water, metal substrates — typically aluminium, galvanised steel, or Colorbond — and temperature extremes. The silane adhesion promoter bonds effectively to the metal oxides present on these surfaces.

Masonry sealing: Brick is a highly porous, alkaline substrate. The solvent carrier drives initial penetration into the brick surface before evaporating, while the adhesion promoter forms bonds with the silicate minerals in fired clay.

Glass and ceramic surfaces: Shower screen applications involve glass or ceramic tiles — both silicate-based materials well suited to silane coupling agent chemistry. These applications also require resistance to constant moisture exposure and regular cleaning chemical contact.

Hazard profile & classification

GHS classification

Selleys All Clear is classified as hazardous according to Safe Work Australia GHS 7 criteria (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). The product carries a "Danger" signal word, indicating a more severe hazard category (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

The specific hazard classifications are (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf):

Hazard statements

The following hazard statements apply (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf):

Safety precautions & personal protective equipment

Preventive measures

The product carries extensive prevention precautionary statements that reflect its flammability and irritation hazards (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf):

General precautions:

Fire prevention:

The Category 2 Flammable Liquid classification makes these fire prevention measures non-negotiable. Static discharge prevention is critical — hydrocarbon solvents can accumulate static charge during pouring or dispensing, creating a potential ignition source.

Exposure prevention:

The ventilation requirement addresses both the narcotic effects hazard and the need to keep vapour concentrations below the lower explosive limit.

Personal protective equipment:

In practice, this means chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene) to prevent skin irritation; safety glasses with side shields as a minimum, with goggles or a face shield for large-volume applications; long sleeves and pants to limit skin exposure; and an organic vapour respirator where adequate ventilation cannot be achieved.

Emergency response procedures

Exposure response

Inhalation: Remove the person to fresh air and keep them comfortable for breathing (P304+P340, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Call a poison centre or doctor if they feel unwell (P312, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Fresh air reduces further exposure and supports the body's natural clearance of absorbed solvents.

Skin contact: Remove all contaminated clothing immediately and rinse skin with water or shower (P303+P361+P353, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Get medical advice or attention if skin irritation develops (P332+P313, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Wash contaminated clothing before reuse (P362+P364, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Removing contaminated clothing without delay matters — sealant absorbed into fabric continues to contact skin. For gross contamination, drench with water immediately and remove clothing, then flush skin and hair thoroughly with plenty of water (and soap if the material is insoluble) (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Eye contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes (P305+P351+P338, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, then keep rinsing (P305+P351+P338, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). If eye irritation persists, get medical advice or attention (P337+P313, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Poisoning: Contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre immediately — Australia: 131 126, New Zealand: 0800 764 766 (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Have the product container or label at hand when seeking medical advice (P101, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Fire response

In case of fire, use alcohol-resistant foam or dry agent to extinguish (P370+P378, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Standard water spray does not work on hydrocarbon solvent fires — solvents are less dense than water and float on the surface, spreading the fire. Alcohol-resistant (AFFF) foam forms a barrier on polar solvent surfaces. Dry chemical agents — monoammonium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, or potassium bicarbonate — interrupt the combustion chain reaction.

Storage requirements

Store containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from all ignition sources (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Keeping containers tightly closed (P233) prevents solvent evaporation that would thicken the product and reduces flammable vapour buildup in the storage area (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Given the Category 2 Flammable Liquid classification, storage areas need temperature control to prevent pressure buildup in sealed containers, along with appropriate fire suppression systems. Keep the product away from oxidising agents, strong acids, and strong bases, which can react with the silane coupling agent or accelerate decomposition.

Container grounding and bonding requirements (P240) apply during dispensing operations, so storage areas need proper electrical grounding infrastructure (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Dangerous goods transportation

Selleys All Clear is classified as Dangerous Goods under both the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail and the New Zealand NZS5433: Transport of Dangerous Goods on Land (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Dangerous Goods Class: 3 (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf)

Class 3 covers flammable liquids with flash points not exceeding 60°C. This classification sets specific requirements for packaging, labelling, placarding, and documentation across road, rail, sea, and air transport. Vehicles carrying Class 3 dangerous goods must carry appropriate fire extinguishers and emergency response information, and display the required diamond-shaped Class 3 placard — red upper half, white lower half, with flame symbol.

The dangerous goods classification has direct implications for logistics, distribution centre storage, and retail display. Many jurisdictions limit the quantity of Class 3 goods that can be stored in retail environments without specialised hazardous material storage cabinets.

Disposal requirements

Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations (P501, SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

For most users, disposal options include:

Containers that held Class 3 flammable liquids cannot go into standard recycling streams because of residual material and vapour hazards. Empty containers may require triple-rinsing or specialised container reconditioning before recycling or disposal.

Product variants & packaging

Selleys All Clear is available in several package configurations, each identified by unique product codes and barcodes (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf):

80g format:

250g format:

260g format:

The multiple product codes for identical volumes — three for 80g, two for 260g — reflect different distribution channels (retail vs. trade), packaging materials, or regional variants. "SRP" indicates Shelf-Ready Packaging designed for direct placement on retail shelves without unpacking. The "5PK" and "6pk" variants are multi-unit packs for bulk purchase or contractor use.

Handling best practices

Workspace preparation: Set up a well-ventilated work area before opening any containers. Open windows, run exhaust fans, or work outdoors. Position the work area well away from potential ignition sources — pilot lights, electric motors, and static-generating activities.

Container management: Dispense only the amount needed for immediate use into a separate, smaller container when working from larger packs. This keeps the main container closed longer, reducing solvent evaporation and vapour exposure. Ground all metal containers properly before any transfers.

Application technique: Apply the sealant in thin, even beads rather than thick applications. Thinner applications cure more uniformly and reduce total solvent loading in the work environment. The silane coupling agent activates with moisture — slightly damp substrates can actually promote stronger adhesion than completely dry surfaces, though excess water should be removed first.

Cross-contamination prevention: The solvent system makes this product incompatible with many other materials. Keep it away from water-based sealants — the hydrocarbon solvents will prevent proper curing. Clean application tools immediately after use with mineral spirits or acetone before the material cures.

Temperature: Apply at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C for optimal flow and cure. Below 5°C, the sealant thickens and becomes harder to apply evenly. Above 35°C, solvent evaporation accelerates and can cause surface skinning before proper substrate wetting occurs.

Technical limitations & considerations

Solvent sensitivity: The high solvent content — 20–60% combined cyclohexane and naphtha — makes this product unsuitable for use on polystyrene foam, some plastics (polycarbonate, ABS, acrylic), and painted surfaces where the coating is not fully cured or is sensitive to hydrocarbon solvents (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). Test on an inconspicuous area before applying to any plastic or painted substrate.

Flammability during application: Unlike water-based or silicone sealants, Selleys All Clear creates a flammable atmosphere during application and cure. This makes it the wrong choice for applications near active ignition sources or in confined spaces without adequate ventilation and explosion-proof equipment. The Category 2 Flammable Liquid classification means the flash point sits below 23°C — well below typical ambient temperatures — so the liquid produces flammable vapours at room temperature (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Food contact and aquatic applications: The irritant classification, UV stabilisers, and coupling agents make this product unsuitable for food contact applications or permanent immersion in aquatic environments where leaching could occur. The aromatic hydrocarbon content in the naphtha fraction raises additional concerns for sensitive applications.

Occupational exposure limits: Workers applying this product in commercial settings must comply with workplace exposure standards for cyclohexane and petroleum distillates. Time-weighted average exposure limits typically range from 100–300 ppm for these solvents. Air monitoring is necessary in environments where multiple workers apply the product simultaneously or where ventilation is limited.

Regulatory & compliance information

Selleys All Clear carries a Poison Schedule classification of "Not Applicable" (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). It does not fall under the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP) scheduling system for therapeutic goods and poisons in Australia. While the product is hazardous under GHS criteria for workplace chemical safety, it is not classified as a scheduled poison for general public access restriction purposes.

The product's regulatory status requires compliance with Safe Work Australia's Workplace Health and Safety regulations for hazardous chemicals, Dangerous Goods transport regulations for Class 3 flammable liquids, environmental protection regulations for disposal of hazardous chemical waste, and Building Code of Australia material specifications where applicable.

For commercial users, the product triggers obligations under chemical management systems, including maintaining current Safety Data Sheets, conducting risk assessments for tasks involving the product, implementing control measures including ventilation and PPE, training workers in safe handling procedures, health monitoring where exposure standards may be approached, and emergency response planning for spills and fires.

Quality assurance & product authentication

Barcode verification: Each package size carries a specific barcode — 9300697123879 for 80g, 9300697132604 for 250g, 9300697123855 for 260g — that cross-references with retailer inventory systems (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Label integrity: Authentic products display complete GHS hazard pictograms — the flame symbol for flammable liquids, the exclamation mark for irritation and STOT SE 3 — the "Danger" signal word, and all required hazard and precautionary statements in English (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

Supplier verification: Genuine Selleys All Clear is manufactured by Selleys, a division of DuluxGroup (Australia) Pty Ltd, ABN 67 000 049 427, located at 1956 Dandenong Road (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf). For verification or technical questions, call 1300 555 205 (SELLEYS_ALL_CLEAR-AUS_GHS.pdf).

General product claims

Selleys All Clear Multi-Purpose Sealant sits within the Home & Garden > Sealants & Caulking category, produced by Selleys — an Australian brand widely recognised for adhesives, sealants, and surface preparation products. The product lives under the multi-purpose sealant segment of Selleys' broader sealants range, which also includes specialised formulations for specific applications such as plumbing, roofing, and kitchen and bathroom environments. Because the workspace knowledge graph does not currently contain detailed sibling product records for this brand, specific product-line siblings cannot be named here, but the Selleys website at selleys.com.au lists the full range of sealant products alongside All Clear for direct comparison.

Within the sealants and caulking category, Selleys All Clear is distinguished by its crystal-clear, transparent finish once cured — a feature that sets it apart from white or grey gap-fillers commonly used where appearance is less critical. Its ability to adhere to wet, oily, and dirty surfaces without extensive surface preparation broadens its practical appeal relative to sealants that require a clean, dry substrate. It is rated suitable for metal, timber, glass, glazed tiles, brick, stone, and many plastics, positioning it as a genuinely versatile option rather than a room-specific or material-specific product.

From a use-case adjacency perspective, someone applying this sealant around windows, shower recesses, or glass surfaces is likely to also need a few complementary products. Caulking guns or applicator tools are the obvious accompaniment for applying cartridge-format sealants neatly. Surface cleaning products — particularly degreasers or mould-removal sprays — are relevant for preparing areas where old sealant is being replaced or where residue is present. Paintable formulas like All Clear also pair naturally with interior or exterior paints for finishing work in areas where the sealed joint will be painted over.

Overall, Selleys All Clear occupies the practical, multi-surface end of the sealants category: it trades deep specialisation for broad compatibility and a discreet finish, making it a reasonable default choice for general household sealing tasks before considering a product engineered for a single specific environment.
