In the global construction industry, silicones demonstrate superior sealing performance and long-lasting weather-ability in a variety of applications.
Valued in commercial building and manufacturing, silicones are also used in homes as window and door weatherseals and mildew-resistant kitchen and bath sealants.
Silicones Maximize Longevity
Silicone sealants improve longevity and outperform organic counterparts through these features:
|
 |
- Enhanced elasticity
- High/low temperature resistance
- Protection from ozone degradation
- Superior UV resistance
Our silicone sealants offer architects, specifiers, engineers and consumers freedom of design for both new and remedial construction projects. We can even tailor sealant properties to meet your specific design needs.

 Coatings |
 |
|
From fade resistant architectural coatings to watertight roof and protective tank coatings, our silicone products provide long-lasting protection. Developed to protect concrete and masonry surfaces, our anti-graffiti and water repellant coatings can be used in new construction and remedial applications such as bridges, office buildings and schools.
|
|
Fire Protection |
 |
|
Flexible materials help ensure joint integrity and fill in the gaps around cable ducts. But when formulated with flame and fire-retardant properties, these special sealants can be the first line of defense in controlling the spread of fire, smoke, toxic gases and water.
|
|
Glazing |
 |
|
General purpose and high-performance glazing sealants satisfy tight specifications for many different substrates and applications from skylights and storefronts to mirrors and aquariums. And structural glazing applications can take you from the controlled environment of a factory to the unexpected elements in the field. Wherever you need them, our silicones make highly effective, long-lasting sealants that can satisfy demands for strong adhesion to a wide range of building components and applications.

|
Primers |
 |
|
Proper surface treatment and preparation is important to a successful installation. Primers should never be used to replace that step. Primers do, however, enhance adhesion to porous and non-porous or difficult-to-bond-to substrates and increase the longevity of any construction project. We also have primers designed specifically for specialty sealants.
|
|
Roofing |
 |
|
Our Polyurethane Foam Roofing System is an excellent design, providing durable, trouble-free performance in any climate. It can be used in new construction or applied over virtually any existing roof. The sprayed-on polyurethane foam and silicone roof coating provides a superior waterproof seal, forming a seamless blanket of insulation and silicone rubber protection with none of the weak links found in conventional roofing such as seams, flashing, and fasteners. And unlike other roofing systems, maintenance and repair is simple and the system can be recoated indefinitely.

|
Sanitary |
 |
|
Bathrooms become saturated with heat and humidity. Kitchens catch the brunt of traffic and heavy-duty use in homes and businesses. Yet even in these difficult environments - and almost anywhere that sanitary fixturing is needed - silicones provide dependable, mildew-resistant seals that remain flexible for years.
|
|
Specialty Sealants |
 |
|
When design requirements are critical, our silicones provide specialty sealants that can be painted. We also have FDA-approved sealants for food processing applications or silicone gels that meet the low-volatility requirements in Clean Rooms.
|
|
Weatherproofing |
 |
|
Weatherseal, expansion and high-movement joints demand sealants with appropriate strength and movement capability. One-part sealants with primerless adhesion to most substrates offer the ease-of-use required with cladding and perimeter seals. We offer a variety of weatherproofing sealants available in standard and custom colors. And when an old joint fails, you'll find a joint remedy that accelerates the repair process.
|
|
Window & Insulating Glass (IG) |
 |
|
Extreme durability and long service life are the benefits you get when using our one- or two-part sealants for commercial or residential window manufacturing or as secondary seals on insulating glass units. With controlled viscosity, fast cure times and low sag, manufacturers can cut labor costs and reduce material waste. Compared to other polymers, these sealants offer high strength, excellent resistance to temperature extremes, UV radiation and ozone exposure.
