Fireseal W is a single-component sealant suitable for joints exposed to very high temperatures (up to 1200°C). The product dries through natural evaporation.
Fields of Application
It is particularly suitable for sealing fireplaces, ovens, boilers, stoves, chimneys, and steam pipes. It exhibits excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates such as firebricks, concrete, metal surfaces, natural stones, etc. Fireseal W shows limited resistance to water.
Specifications are collected from official manufacturer websites. Please verify the specifications before proceeding with your final purchase. If you notice any problem you can

(The Fireseal W has limited water resistance,)
the manufacturer says it themselves but does not explain it properly so that people can understand it clearly.
It is only meant for drying surfaces and only for indoor fireplaces, maybe it is useful for sticking and unsticking dry materials with a little water, meaning it can be used to unscrew the pipes from the indoor fireplaces.
The other opinion is to pour a little water to close the holes so that smoke does not come out of the fireplace pipes, or to use water for sealing without needing to use new silicone.
This is my opinion, my idea, but those who have tried it multiple times know better.
It should not come into contact with water, otherwise it melts and takes the form of the mud it had, meaning it becomes useless and difficult to clean, and you have to replace it.
Because I installed some tiles in the kitchen and on the laminate countertop for economy and ergonomics, and to prevent the kitchen from catching fire from the pots, and I had issues with fire on the laminate when I put hot pots on it. When I take them out of the oven and put them on the ice, I often forget and leave them on the wood, and it has burned many times. I used silicone, but it comes off after cleaning the kitchen because silicone cannot withstand scrubbing, but the tiles have helped me.
(I just wanted waterproof silicone, but I accidentally bought this one, I thought it was cheap and good, but in the end, it ruined the surface when we washed the dishes, and it got worse after water from this type of silicone. I expected it to dry in three to four days for testing and experimentation, but it didn't work at all. Then I bought a new silicone, I don't remember what it was, but it was a special one that resists water and temperatures above 200 degrees because pots release around 100 degrees, and I solved the problem I had with this design and it worked perfectly for the kitchen. I am very satisfied now, and I have hit the pots on the tiles a few times, and the tiles have endured thanks to the silicone's elasticity and ability to absorb shocks like a spring. The kitchen solution, my idea after much thought, was worth the effort because it has a philosophy (work-philosophy) inside, and it allows for good work and makes you always feel satisfied with the work you do with your own hands, and that makes you have golden hands.. //
However, as an installation engineer, I do not recommend this type of silicone at all because it does not seem useful, but those who deal with fireplaces on their own know something more
