What is Silicone Sealant?

Silicone Sealant (globally recognized term) is an organosilicon-based material composed primarily of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and silica polymers. It cures upon exposure to airborne moisture into a durable, rubber-like solid, offering exceptional flexibility, weather resistance, and adhesion.

Key Classifications & Technologies

Curing Mechanisms

Acetic Cure Type (Deacetylated): Fast-curing, with a characteristic vinegar odor.

Neutral Cure Types:

Alcohol Cure Type (Dealcoholized): Low odor, non-corrosive.

Amine Cure Type (Deaminated): High adhesion to challenging substrates.

Oxime Cure Type (Deoximated): Balanced performance for industrial use.

Product Forms

Single-Component silicone sealant: Air-moisture cured. Ready to use.

Two-Component silicone sealant: Mixes on-site for deep-section curing (A/B components).

Performance Grades

Acidic Silicone Sealant: Cost-effective bonding for glass and non-sensitive materials.

Neutral Silicone Sealant: Non-corrosive, versatile for metals, plastics, and porous substrates.

Structural Silicone Glazing Sealant: High-strength for structural assemblies (e.g., curtain walls).

Global Applications

Application Sector Product Type Key Uses
Construction & Glazing  Neutral Weatherseal Sealing joints in windows, stone cladding, metal roofs. UV/weather resistant.
Structural Glazing Structural Glazing Sealant Bonding glass to metal in curtain walls (full structural support).
Sanitary & Kitchen Sanitary Sealant Waterproof sealing for baths, sinks, tiles. Mold/mildew resistant.
Industrial Assembly Acidic/Neutral Sealant Gasketing in automotive, electronics, HVAC & machinery.
Insulated Glass (IGU) Structural Sealant Edge sealing in double/triple glazing units.

Usage Guidelines

  1. Surface Prep: Clean substrates with acetone (remove oil, dust). Roughen smooth surfaces.

  2. Application: Apply via caulking gun. Tool joints within 10 minutes (neutral) or 30 minutes (acidic).

  3. Curing:

    • Full cure depth: 3–4 days for 12mm joints.

    • Handling strength: 20 psi peel strength after 72 hours.

  4. Safety: Use in ventilated areas (acetic odor dissipates after curing).
