How to choose the right sealant
To buy the right sealant, you should know what you are going to use it for and what properties the compound must have.
- Material – what material will the sealant be used for? Some sealants do not adhere to certain materials such as metal and glass. Therefore, before making your choice, you should know what material the sealant will be used for.
- Environment – will the sealant be used indoors or outdoors? In outdoor use, the sealant is exposed to fluctuating temperatures, moisture, and UV light. This means that sealants for outdoor use must have a specific composition.
- Paintable – do you want to paint over the sealant? Then make sure that it is paintable.
Read the product specification! No matter the sealant, you will find all the information about its properties and uses on the cartridge.
