Hard-setting mastic, commonly referred to as anti-pick mastic, is widely used in secure health facilities, secure hospitals, prisons and custody suites. The purpose of the material is to create a durable seal around fixtures and fittings, reducing gaps that could otherwise be used for tampering or ligature attachment.
Although anti-pick mastic remains the term most commonly searched for online, hard-setting mastic is now a more accurate description of the product. When used alongside ligature-resistant lighting, it supports a safer, more secure installation while maintaining a neat and professional finish.
