Construction Adhesives

Install building materials such as wood and drywall with these general purpose adhesives. Use cartridges with a standard caulk gun.

Silicone adhesives resist a wider range of temperatures than latex adhesives.

Silicone Sealants

Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.

Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. Sealants that are good for joining dissimilar materials also work well in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.

Caulk

Caulk is non-sagging, so it won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.

The caulk that begins to harden in 15 minutes is paint ready in just 20 minutes.

Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement a sealant can sustain. Caulk is best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.

Create-a-Color Caulk

Mix a small amount of water-based paint with this caulk to match the color of your surface. Caulk is non-sagging, so it won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.

Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement a sealant can sustain. This caulk is best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.

Non-Hardening Caulk

Also known as thumb-grade caulk, this forms a non-hardening, moisture-resistant seal that remains pliable.

Butyl rubber has a sticky, gummy consistency.

Low-Friction Epoxy Coatings

Use these coatings on tanks to create a low-friction lining that prevents bubble formation and turbulence in the liquids within. These thick coatings can also be used in chutes and on foundations for a smooth, glossy surface that resists abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures once cured. Apply with a brush or roller. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
