purpose of weather proofing a
building, so designed to
prevent the passage of
moisture, air, dust, and heat
through all joints and seams in
the structure.

FUNCTION OF
SEALANTS
THREE BASIC FUNCTIONS

1. fills a gap between two or more substrates;

2. forms a barrier through the physical properties of the
sealant itself and by adhesion to the substrate;
3. it maintains sealing properties for the expected
lifetime, service conditions, and environments.
PROPERTIES

They seal top structures to the substrate, and are

particularly effective in waterproofing processes by
keeping moisture out (or in) the components.

They can provide thermal and acoustical insulation, and

may serve as fire barriers.

They may have electrical properties, as well. Sealants can

also be used for simple smoothing or filling.

2. Increases Product Performance
3. Increases Design Flexibility
4. Increases Product Quality
5. Enhances Product Aesthetics
6. Improves Process Productivity and

7. Increases weathering characteristics
DISADVANTAGES

1. Deterioration of sealants causes due to

prolonged exposure to water, ultraviolet
light, and freeze-thaw cycles

2. Cohesive failure due to deterioration of

the internal integrity of the sealant;
cracking parallel to the interface of the
joint is an indication of this type of failure.

3. Inappropriate Choice of Sealant and

Improper Joint Design may fail the joint
