Click below on any of the five advantages to learn more. For each advantage, examples of adhesives and sealants in real life are presented, organized by major Market and Application Area. Below you will find specific examples of where adhesives and sealants are used. (You can click again on each advantage to roll the detailed information back up.
Eliminates corrosion associated with metal fasteners
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
- Structural Window Glazing - Refers to the use of specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building's structure via mechanical retention techniques which often times resulted in corrosion between dissimiliar metals.
Eliminates pull-through and dimpling of visibile panels
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
- Structural Window Glazing - Refers to the use of specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building's structure via mechanical retention techniques which often caused dimpling of panels.
Eliminates screw/rivet heads and harm to painted/finished surfaces
Market: Assembly (Rigid)
Application Area: Machinery
Specific Applications Include:
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
- Structural Window Glazing - Refers to the use of specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building's structure via mechanical retention techniques which limited architecutral design.
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Flooring
Specific Applications Include:
- Up to the beginning of the 20th century, parquet was nailed. With the invention of parquet adhesives, a more visually appealing method of parquet installation was established.
Eliminates distortion or discoloration of parts caused by thermal joining methods
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Appliances
Specific Applications Include:
- Stainless Steel Door Assembly
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
- Structural Window Glazing - Refers to the use of specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members. Previously, windows and architectural panels were adhered to a building's structure via mechanical retention techniques which limited architecutral design.
Market: Transporation
Application Area: Vehicle Assemby
Specific Applications Include:
- Aluminum Corner Posts for Shipping Containers
Facilitates tight bonds between close fitting surfaces; avoids unwanted visible joint lines
Market: Building and Construction
Application Area: Exterior/Interior Cladding & Fenestrations
Specific Applications Include:
- Structural Window Glazing - Refers to the use of specially formulated silicone sealants which bond glass, metal, stone or other infill panels to framing members.
