If you are looking for a sealant to bond and seal a variety of building materials, then our construction sealant is perfect for you. It is an all-purpose sealant that can be used for sealing joints, gaps, and cracks in different building materials. It is also resistant to water, chemicals, and UV rays. We also offer a range of specialty sealants, including acetoxy sealant and acrylic sealant. Our acetoxy sealant is ideal for use in high-temperature applications and is resistant to weathering, chemicals, and UV rays. Our acrylic sealant is perfect for use in interior applications.
Sealant is often used to prevent leaks by sealing gaps, joints, or openings in buildings and other structures. It is typically used to seal around windows, doors, and other openings to prevent air and water infiltration. Sealants can also fill joints between different building materials, such as concrete and masonry, to prevent water from penetrating the structure. Bonds can also seal roofs, walls, and other surfaces to prevent leaks and provide insulation.
It’s important to note that the sealant should be used in conjunction with other waterproofing measures like proper drainage and flashing system, as sealant alone may not be enough to prevent leaks in some cases. Additionally, the sealant should be applied correctly and maintained to ensure its function properly.
Several types of sealants are commonly used in construction, each with its specific properties and uses. Some of the main types of sealants include:
Silicone sealant: This type of sealant is highly flexible and durable, making it ideal for use in areas subject to movement, expansion, and contraction. It is also resistant to weathering and UV radiation.
Polyurethane sealant: This type of sealant is also flexible and durable and often used in areas subject to movement, expansion, and contraction. It also has good adhesion properties and can be used for indoor and outdoor applications.
Acrylic sealant: This type of sealant is a low-cost, water-based sealant that is easy to apply and clean up. It is often used for sealing around windows and doors and filling gaps and joints.
Latex sealant: This type of sealant is a water-based sealant that is easy to apply and clean up. It is often used for indoor applications where a paintable finish is desired.
Polysulfide sealant: This type of sealant is known for its excellent durability and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for use in areas exposed to the elements. It is often used in the construction of bridges and other large structures.
Butyl sealant: This type of sealant is known for its excellent adhesion properties, making it ideal for use in areas subject to movement or expansion and contraction.
Epoxy sealant: This type of sealant is known for its excellent durability and resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, making it ideal for use in industrial applications.
These are some of the most common types of sealant, but many other varieties are available with different properties and uses.
Silicone sealant is a great choice for concrete because it is highly flexible and durable and can withstand the movement, expansion, and contraction that concrete can experience. When it comes to choosing the right silicone sealant for concrete, there are a few key factors to consider:
Adhesion: Look for a silicone sealant with good adhesion properties and specifically formulated for concrete surfaces.
Movement capability: Concrete can expand and contract due to temperature changes and moisture, so choosing a silicone sealant to accommodate this movement is important. Look for a sealant that is specifically formulated for use on concrete and is highly flexible.
Weather resistance: Concrete is exposed to the elements, so choosing a silicone sealant resistant to UV radiation and weathering is important.
Temperature resistance: Some silicones are formulated for high-temperature applications, so if your concrete is exposed to high temperatures, choose a silicone that can withstand those temperatures.
Color: Some silicones come in different colors to match the color of the concrete.
A silicone sealant that is well-suited for use on concrete is Dow Corning 795 Silicone Building Sealant.
