“ Silicone sealant is a common sealing material, widely used in construction, automotive, electronics, aerospace and other fields. Silicone sealant has high temperature, climate, chemical and other tolerance, while having good sealing performance and easy construction and maintenance characteristics. This makes it one of the most widely used sealing materials in various industries ”

Acetic silicone sealant

Acetic silicone sealant has little smells. That's the reason why many people don't choose acetic silicone sealant. For acetic silicone sealant ,it really has excellent fast curing ability and the smells will disappear very soon. Chemistry buffs and cooks alike will remember that acetic acid is aside from water, the main component of vinegar — and the first thing you will notice when using acetoxy silicone sealant is its strong vinegar-like smell. Unlike the vinegar in your pantry, however, acetoxy are quite corrosive, which, as we will discuss shortly, affects the way acetoxy silicone should be used.

Neutral Silicone sealant

Because neutral cure silicone doesn’t create an acidic environment, it is the perfect solution for caulking materials that would otherwise be damaged by acetoxy sealant. (I.e. stones, brass, copper, bituminous materials and any space that is close to sensitive electronics.) Additionally, neutral cure silicone is better for exterior use because it is more weather resistant than its acetoxy counterpart.
