What's the Different of Sealant and Glass Sealant?

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the performance and function of sealant and glass glue are different, although they have the function of bonding, but there is still a difference between sealant and glass glue, because the role of sealant and glass glue, performance is different, so in use to be able to correctly applied to the product.

1. Sealant

Sealant A kind of adhesive with sealing as the first purpose, the types are: silicone sealant, polyurethane sealant, polysulfide sealant, acrylic sealant, anaerobic sealant, epoxy sealant, butyl sealant, neoprene sealant, PVC sealant, and asphalt sealant. The sealant can be used for the sealing of buildings, transportation, electronic instruments and components, so as to play the role of insulation, sound insulation, waterproof, dustproof and so on.

2. Glass sealant

This name of glass glue has a broad sense and a narrow sense, and the broad sense refers to all adhesives that can be bonded to glass, which are called glass glue. The narrow sense of glass glue refers to the colorless and transparent adhesive that can be bonded to glass after curing, mainly silicone. Weather resistant adhesive has adhesive and sealant points, a long time by sunlight, temperature changes, wind and rain and other external conditions, will not appear fading, discoloration, cracking, powder and strength decline and a series of aging phenomena. Ultraviolet exposure is the key factor.

Glass glue is also weather-resistant glue, divided into neutral and acidic two kinds, the market is divided into high-grade, mid-range, low-grade glue three kinds, professionally acidic called silicone glass glue, suitable for sticking glass and glass and metal, relatively dry fast, but there is a very heavy sour taste, not environmentally friendly; Neutral is divided into neutral silicone weather resistant adhesive, neutral silicone sealant, neutral silicone sealant, neutral rubber environmentally friendly and tasteless, good and strong viscosity, toughness and weather resistance of weather resistant adhesive, sealing is quite good, weather resistance and sealing of weather resistant sealant is between weather resistant adhesive and sealant, neutral adhesive application range is quite wide, It is not only suitable for glass metal and other acidic glue can not be applied to places such as mirror glass, copper, external wall waterproof and moisture-proof, indoor bathroom mildew proof, flame retardant, high and low temperature resistance and other uses!

3.Differentiate

In terms of use, the sealant is suitable for bonding and sealing of materials and has certain anti-aging properties. Glass adhesive used for bonding indoor materials has poor anti-aging performance.

Glass glue: just a general term, silicone glue, polyurethane glue can be commonly known as glass glue.

Sealant: It is distinguished from performance, and the single finger function is sealing and weatherproof adhesive.

Silicone structural adhesives, and polyurethane adhesives have sealing effects, but have other very important roles, such as high bonding strength and good weather resistance.
