All-Weather Application Structural Sealants
Apply these sealants in cold temperatures, on wet surfaces, and even through running water. They are structural sealants that combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. 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 sealants are good for use between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.

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.

Sealants
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.

Structural Glass Sealants
Make seals that support glass under heavy loads in equipment and buildings. These sealants are also known as glazing compounds. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Joint compression/expansion tolerance indicates flexibility—the higher the value is, the more joint movement a sealant can sustain.
