What is acrylic sealant?

Acrylic sealant is a synthetic, water-based ingredient made from acrylic resins, used for caulking, jointing and filling cracks and gaps mainly in the construction industry.

What properties acrylic sealant has?

 Good fluidity in a wide temperature range, strong adhesion, good elasticity and good weather resistance once cured

 Non-toxic, harmless, non-flammable and volatile

 Variety, environmental friendly, low VOC

 Fast cure and cheap price

 Good air permeability

 Paintable

 Good adhesion and waterproof

 Easy to use and clean

Where does acrylic sealant adhesive apply?

Acrylic sealants can be widely used in interior decoration, general construction expansion joints and general engineering joint filling in non-long-term water-immersion environment waterproof sealing. For example, it is used to seal the gaps between indoor walls, skirting lines, door and window frames and the walls etc.

How to apply acrylic sealant?

 Ensure that the area to be sealed is clean and dry. If needed, apply masking tape along one or both edges to create a straight line when the acrylic sealer is applied.

 Cut the end of the tube at a 45° angle along the nozzle to create a bead of the correct width.

 Load the sealant tube into the caulk gun and begin applying the sealant at one end of the gap. Steady pressure and movement along the seam will help to deliver an even bead of acrylic sealer.

 Using a sealant tool or a damp finger, smooth the bead of sealant into a uniform line and blend the edges into the surrounding material.

 Allow the acrylic sealant to dry for the specified time.
