These sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.
Sealants that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Clear enough to read through, these UV-resistant sealants allow optimal light transmission for use with solar cells and fiber optics. Sealants are 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.

These structural sealants combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. 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. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.

These non-sagging sealants will not drip while hardening on vertical and overhead surfaces. They’re marine grade, so they stand up to water, corrosion from salt spray, mildew, and UV light.
Sika Sikaflex sealants meet NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use with drinking water.
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.

These sealants don't degrade in sunlight. Also known as glazing compounds, use these sealants to install glass in framing. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance.

Urethane Structural Adhesives
Urethane adhesives are the most flexible, so they bond dissimilar materials and damp vibration.
The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Dispense adhesives in 10.1 fl. oz. cartridges with a standard caulk gun.
292i resists moisture and does not require mixing.
