Types of Sealants We Have In Our Catalog

Here's the list of the various types of Silicone All Purpose Sealants in our catalog, each tailored for specific applications and environments:

Acetoxy Silicone Sealant

Acetoxy Silicone Sealant

This type of sealant provides cures quickly and adheres well to non-porous surfaces, perfect for general glazing and sealing tasks. It releases acetic acid while curing, which gives it a vinegar-like smell and can corrode some metals and materials.

Neutral Cure Silicone Sealant

Neutral Cure Silicone Sealant

This type of sealant does not release acetic acid, making it safer for a variety of materials like metals and plastics. Its compatibility with sensitive components makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, avoiding corrosion.

High-Temperature Silicone Sealant

High-Temperature Silicone Sealant

Our High-Temperature Silicone Sealant is designed to resist extreme heat. Thus, it is ideal for applications in automotive engines, industrial machinery, and around ovens, maintaining its integrity and flexibility under high temperatures.

Food Grade Silicone Sealant

Food Grade Silicone Sealant

This type of sealant is non-toxic and resistant to mold and bacteria, making it suitable for use in commercial kitchens, food processing, and storage equipment.

Aquarium Silicone Sealant

Aquarium Silicone Sealant

This sealant is safe for aquatic life, used in the construction and repair of aquariums due to its waterproof and non-toxic properties.

Low Modulus Silicone Sealant

Sealants
Low Modulus Silicone Sealant

Low Modulus Silicone Sealant offers greater elasticity, ideal for sealing joints that experience significant movement. Used in construction for perimeter sealing of windows and doors.

Frequently Asked Questions

While the initial cure time for a silicone sealant might be within 24 hours, achieving complete cure and reaching maximum strength could take up to 7 days, depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature.

Applying new silicone over old silicone isn't generally recommended because silicone doesn't adhere well to itself.

For the best results, remove the old sealant, clean the area thoroughly, and then apply a new bead of sealant.

Most silicone sealants are not paintable.

However, there are specific variants of silicone sealant that are formulated to be paintable, so it’s important to choose the right type based on your project needs.

While silicone sealant can create a waterproof barrier, it's not typically designed to withstand the pressure found in a pressurized water system.

For such applications, it's best to use products specifically designed for high-pressure scenarios.

To store an opened tube of silicone sealant, tightly seal the nozzle to prevent air from curing the product inside.

Store it in a cool, dry place. If properly sealed, an opened tube can be usable for future applications, though the shelf life will depend on the specific product.
