Construction Sealants & Adhesives
Construction Sealants
Construction sealants are versatile materials used to seal joints, gaps, and cracks in construction projects. They provide long-lasting protection against water, air, dust, and other environmental elements, ensuring the durability and efficiency of buildings and structures.
Key Features:
- Elasticity: Allows for movement in joints caused by temperature changes or vibrations without cracking.
- Durability: Resistant to weather, UV exposure, moisture, and aging.
- Versatility: Suitable for sealing a variety of materials like concrete, wood, glass, metal, and stone.
- Waterproofing: Prevents water intrusion in joints and seams for indoor and outdoor applications.
- Easy Application: Available in cartridges or tubes, applied with a caulking gun for precision.
Common Applications:
- Expansion Joints:
- Sealing joints in concrete or masonry to allow for movement without compromising the structure.
- Window and Door Frames:
- Prevents air and water leaks around frames for improved energy efficiency.
- Roofing and Gutters:
- Sealing gaps to protect against leaks and weather damage.
- Bathrooms and Kitchens:
- Waterproofing seams around sinks, tubs, showers, and backsplashes.
- Flooring:
- Sealing gaps between tiles or around edges to protect against moisture and dirt.
Supex Construction Adhesive & sealants
What is a construction adhesive?
Construction adhesive is a general-purpose adhesive used for attaching drywall, tile, molding, and fixtures to walls, ceilings, and floors. Adhesion to a variety of substrates allows bonding of dissimilar materials if necessary. High cohesive strength is desirable. Flexibility improves peel strength by flexing with peel stress. High elastic modulus of substrate and adhesive resists stress at the bond line.
Construction applications
Adhesive / sealants are commonly used to fill cracks and openings and seal joints as well as provide a barrier to air, water, moisture, gas, noise, dust and smoke. The building and construction industry, thus, involves numerous applications for sealing compound. The key application areas are discussed below.
- Sealants for Masonry
- Sealants for Precast Concrete Panels and Slabs
- Sealants for Joints Related to Curtain Walls
- Roof Sealants
- Sealants used for Structural Glazing
- Window Glazing Sealants
- Ceramic Tiles and Sanitary ware Sealants
- Sealants for Civil Engineering Work
