Sealants

Sealants such as silane sealants (MS polymers), silicone sealants and butyl tapes are extremely important products used in various industries. Silane sealants provide excellent adhesion to various surfaces, while silicone sealants are flexible and temperature resistant. Butyl tapes are used to seal gaps and are water resistant. Choosing the right sealant depends on the specific application and the conditions in which it will be used.Sealants such as silane sealants (MS polymers), silicone sealants and butyl tapes are extremely important products used in various industries.

Sealants are extremely important products used in industry, construction and many other areas. There are several types of popular sealants, including silane (MS polymer), silicone and butyl tapes. Each of these materials has its own unique properties and applications.

  1. Silane Sealants (MS Polymers): These are flexible sealants with a wide range of applications. They have excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces such as metal, wood, glass, ceramics, concrete, etc. They are extremely durable, flexible and weather resistant. Used for sealing and bonding in construction, automotive, joinery, metal fabrication and many other applications.
  2. Silicone sealants: popular materials used for sealing, bonding and gap filling. They are characterised by high elasticity, temperature resistance, water resistance and durability. Silicone sealants are widely used in the construction industry, especially for sealing joints around windows, doors, bathrooms and kitchens, as well as in the automotive, electrical and electronics industries.
  3. Butyl Tapes: A special type of sealant in the form of flexible tapes. They are made from a mixture of butyl rubber and fillers. Butyl tapes have excellent adhesion to a wide range of surfaces and are highly resistant to water and weathering. They are widely used in the construction industry to seal roof joints, leaking pipes, windows, facades and other surfaces where airtightness is required.

 

All of these sealants have their own unique properties and applications. Choosing the right one depends on the specific application and conditions in which it will be used. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and properly prepare the surface before application to ensure a durable and effective seal.

Silane sealants (MS polymer), silicone sealants and butyl tapes have a wide range of applications in various fields. Here are some examples of their use:

  1. Silane sealants (MS polymer):
    • Sealing and bonding in the construction industry, including expansion joints, window and door joints, facades, panels, floors, etc.
    • Sealing in the automotive industry, such as sealing bodywork, panels, glass and interior components.
    • Used in the joinery industry for gluing wooden components such as worktops, stairs, parquet, doors, etc.
    • Sealing joints in metal structures such as pipes, downpipes, ventilation ducts, etc.
    • Sealing in roofing systems, tiles and coverings.
  2. Silicone sealants:
    • Sealing and bonding in the construction industry, including sealing window and door joints, sanitary/hygienic joints (e.g. bathrooms, kitchens), gaps in facades, etc.
    • Used in the automotive industry to seal engines, gearboxes, electronic components, etc.
    • Used in the electronics industry to seal housings, connectors, electronic modules, etc.
    • Sealing in the food and pharmaceutical industries where resistance to high and low temperatures and chemical agents is required.
    • Energy applications including solar, wind and photovoltaic installations.
  3. Butyl tapes:
    • Sealing and filling joints in construction, e.g. expansion joints, roof joints, joints around windows and doors, etc.
    • Used in the plumbing industry to seal water, sewer and gas pipes.
    • Used in the automotive industry to seal bodywork, glass, panels, etc.
    • Used in the telecommunications industry to seal and protect cables and wires.


It is important to note that the above applications are examples only and each of these sealants has a wide range of applications depending on the needs and requirements of the project.

Sealants are special materials used to seal joints, gaps and spaces between different surfaces. They are designed to prevent leaks, water, air or other substances from entering the protected areas. They can be used in construction, automotive, electronics, plumbing and many other areas. There are many types, such as silane sealants, silicone sealants or butyl tapes, each with its own specific properties and applications. Choosing the right sealant depends on the type of joint, the materials, the environmental conditions and the requirements for durability and flexibility of the seal.
