[edit] Introduction
Construction sealants provide extra flexibility, waterproofing, and reliability to the built environment. These sealants are used in a wide range of applications such as bathroom sealant, waterproofing, roof sealant, window sealant, fireproofing, and door sealant. They are used on construction projects ranging from small domestic renovations to river-spanning bridges and skyscrapers.
Construction sealants are used to block the transmission of sound, dust, moisture, heat air and so on. Different types provide specific properties of temperature stability, flexibility, chemical stability, weather resistance, long life and so on.
