Sealants and Adhesives: Properties and Applications

Sealants are used to seal the gaps between substrates and joints to prevent environmental elements like water, dust or dirt from entering the structure. Adhesives are used to join together two surfaces by adhesion. Adhesives have higher strength than sealants while sealants have higher flexibility and lower shrinkage ability as compared to adhesives. Sealants are paste like in consistency which allows them to fill the gaps between surfaces and are usually made with an elastomer giving them improved flexibility and elongation properties. Adhesives, on the other hand, usually come in a liquid form, which solidifies upon application, and have superior durability and rigidity as compared to sealants.
