At sklepsmary.pl you will find unique sealants, acrylic polymers, polyurethanes and silicones that will meet even the highest requirements.

Construction silicones - characteristics

Construction silicones are special types of adhesives, sealants and mounting foams that are widely used in construction and renovation. They are characterized by high flexibility, resistance to various weather conditions and high tensile and deformation strength. They are an ideal solution for sealing joints and gaps, fastening elements and insulating spaces.

Why is choosing the right sealant important?

Before you dismiss it as "just a sealer," let's talk about how important it is to choose a good sealant for your homes.

It is important to understand the quality of the sealant you are going to choose for your intended application. After all the planning (and expense) that goes into renovating your home or office, you certainly don't want sealant failures to ruin the aesthetics of your home.

What's more, choosing a good sealant is only a small fraction of the total renovation cost, so it's important that you and your contractors don't sacrifice quality to save those few dollars.

Seal failures – what is it?

Like any other product, sealants also have a shelf life. Here are some signs that your sealant isn't working:

  • shrinkage of the sealing bead
  • starts turning yellow
  • it begins to harden and become brittle
  • begins to come off the applied surface

Sealant damage eventually leads to mold growth, cracks, or water seepage. Although sealant failures do occur in most, if not all, applications, selecting the right sealant will significantly delay its occurrence, helping you save money and the environment.

Sealing windows and doors with quickly hardening silicones

Get weather-tight with durable silicone weather-sealing solutions for windows and doors. Silicone window and door sealants are versatile, easy to use and last longer. Silicone bonding provides additional stability and reduces the need for reinforcements, locating blocks and gaskets.

Benefits of solutions for sealing or gluing windows and doors with silicones:

  • Quick-drying, two-component silicone sealants enable quick installation
  • Design, testing and qualification support
  • Weather-resistant silicone sealants extend the service life by up to three times
  • Sealants for glass and underlays provide excellent durability, adhesion and tightness
  • Silicone seam sealants reduce energy consumption and protect against air and water ingress
  • Reactive silicone melt technologies provide instant strength, enabling faster production and increasing productivity in high-speed, automated glass operations

An innovative one-component, neutrally curing sealant for windows and doors with immediate adhesion that provides: Ability to withstand specific dynamic and permanent loads; one-piece ease of use combined with immediate durability; and increased productivity.

Types of silicones

There are many types of construction silicones that differ in chemical composition, consistency and purpose.

  • Acrylic silicones with a light consistency that dry quickly and are easy to apply. They are quite flexible and water-resistant, but may be susceptible to mechanical damage, and are often used for attaching ceramic tiles, installing doors and windows, and sealing gaps.

  • Neutral silicones with medium consistency dry slowly and are more difficult to apply. However, they are very flexible and resistant to water, but may be susceptible to temperature changes. They are especially recommended for sealing waterproof joints, such as showers or swimming pools.

Advantages of silicone sealants and adhesives:

  • One-piece ease of use; quick application without mixing
  • Reliable adhesion to a variety of substrates
  • Ability to outperform and outlast organic weather-resistant sealants
  • Greater UV stability, temperature and weather resistance than organic sealants
  • Inherently waterproof and flexible over a wide temperature range
  • Lasts longer than many organic sealants and vulcanizes at room temperature
  • Resistance to weather conditions
  • Sealing, gluing and sticking

Silicones for structural glazing

Dow structural glazing sealants include:

  • Silicone structural glazing solutions with high structural strength for demanding applications
  • Crystal clear silicone adhesive that eliminates the need to drill and screw into the glass

Advantages of DOWSIL structural silicones

  • Compliance with worldwide standards – including ETAG002, GB16776 and ASTM C1184.
  • Mitigate risk with project-specific testing of both two-sided and four-sided structural glazing systems.
  • Trusted silicone performance – including long-term durability and flexibility of movement.
  • Protection against natural forces such as hurricanes, typhoons and earthquakes.
  • Enhance your designs with options including standard and custom colors.

Choose construction silicone to suit your needs

Construction silicones are also available in various quality classes and prices, from cheaper and less durable to more expensive and more durable. The quality class of silicone is important because it affects its properties and durability. Good quality silicones are flexible and resistant to weather conditions, as well as durable, so they do not require frequent replacement.

Construction silicones are available in various packaging, from tight tubes, through containers with an applicator, to assembly guns. Silicone packaging is important because it affects its storage and application. Airtight tubes are best for storing silicone because they prevent it from drying out and getting dirty. Containers with an applicator are convenient for application, but are not suitable for storing silicone residues. Assembly guns are best for applying large amounts of silicone and enable precise and even application of glue.

A large selection of types, consistencies, colors, packaging and quality classes of construction silicones allows you to choose the right product for each application.
