1. What is Silicone Sealant?
Silicone sealant is a versatile, elastomeric material composed of silicone polymers, fillers, and cross-linking agents. It cures upon exposure to atmospheric moisture, forming a durable, flexible, and weather-resistant seal. Key properties include:
- Thermal Stability: Performs across extreme temperatures (-50°C to +250°C).
- UV Resistance: Withstands prolonged sunlight without degradation.
- Elasticity: Accommodates up to ±50% joint movement.
- Adhesion: Bonds to glass, metals, plastics, and ceramics.
- Waterproofing: Creates impermeable barriers against moisture.
Common applications span construction (curtain walls, glazing), automotive, electronics, and industrial manufacturing.
