Silicone Sealant Handbook

21 Mar.,2024

 

More than likely you’ve used silicone sealant, seen someone use silicone sealant, or at least walked by it if you have ventured into a hardware store. Since silicone creates strong adhesive bonds and is resistant to chemicals, moisture, and weathering, there are many uses for it.

One of the most common uses for silicone adhesives is for basic repairs around the house. For example, silicone sealants can be used for caulking cracks. Sometimes individuals may use it to try and level surfaces in their home. Water-resistant silicone sealants are ideal for repairing areas around sinks and other areas where water is frequently found.

Even though silicone isn’t a good substance to use for weight-bearing seals, there is still a need for its powerful adhesive properties in many construction jobs. Silicone sealants are commonly used to bind surfaces such as plastic, metal, and glass together. For example, aquariums are often sealed with silicone. Windows are often sealed to frames with silicone adhesive since it is weather resistant.

Since silicone can keep its adhesive properties when temperatures are high, it is commonly used in automobiles, electronic devices, and appliances. Often silicone adhesives will be used as a bonding agent for parts in car engines, such as a car gasket. In appliances and electronic devices, silicone is used to seal cables and sensors into place.
