Sealants and Silicones

What are Sealants and Silicones?

A sealant, is a viscous material that is applied to joints, gaps, and surfaces to provide a protective barrier against environmental factors, such as moisture, air, dust, and chemicals. They also offer structural stability and improve aesthetics by concealing joints and gaps in various applications. Whilst some sealants are known as decorators caulk the sealants we offer are of a superior quality. While decorator’s caulk is flexible when it dries, it isn’t as flexible as a sealant. Sealant holds up much better in damp conditions (in the bathroom and kitchen, for example) and in any areas where a lot of expansion and contraction may take place.

Therefore, sealants are the unsung heroes of many industries. As they play a critical role in the longevity and effectiveness of various materials and structures. From automotive to construction, aerospace to DIY, sealants have found applications in nearly every sector. These versatile substances function primarily by sealing joints, gaps, and surfaces to protect against environmental factors, while providing added stability and aesthetics.

Here are some of the most commonly used types of sealants that are available:

Polyurethane Sealants

Polyurethane sealants are known for their excellent adhesion and flexibility.

These, for instance, are ideal for bonding door frames, window frames, and joints in construction projects.

Consequently, these mastic sealants can include high-modulus and low-modulus options, ensuring you can find the right adhesive for your specific needs.

As a result, these sealants provide you with superior strength and durability in challenging conditions on the whole.

MS Polymer Sealants

For those needing high-performance solutions, MS polymer sealants offer you exceptional adhesion to a variety of substrates, including glass, metals, and plastics.

They are often used in all-weather sealant applications and provide a waterproof seal.

Sealants & Adhesives for Every Application

These sealants have many use cases, for instance:

Construction

Our sealants & adhesives are widely used in construction for tasks such as sealing window frames and door frames and filling gaps in masonry.
