Difference between silicone structural sealant and silicone weather resistant se

Silicone weatherproof sealant is mainly used for bonding and sealing of glass curtain wall, but can silicone structural sealant and silicone weatherproof sealant be mixed? So what is the difference between structural adhesive and sealant?
Silicone weatherproof sealant refers to the low modulus neutral silicone sealing material for curtain wall caulking, which has good bonding performance.
 
1. It is suitable for weather proof sealing of various curtain walls, especially for glass curtain walls, aluminum-plastic panel curtain walls and stone dry hanging.
 
2. Joint sealing among metal, glass, aluminum, ceramic tile, plexiglass and coated glass.
 
3. Joint sealing of concrete, cement, masonry, rock, marble, steel, wood, anodized aluminum and painted aluminum surfaces.
 
4. It has strong weather resistance such as ozone resistance and ultraviolet resistance, giving it a long service life.
Silicone structural adhesive is a kind of neutral curing, specially designed for structural bonding and assembly in building curtain wall.
 
1. It is mainly used for structural or non structural adhesive assembly between metal and glass of glass curtain wall.
 
2. It can directly connect the glass and the metal component surface to form a single assembly component, meeting the curtain wall design requirements of full hidden or semi hidden frame.
 
3. Structural bonding and sealing of insulating glass.
 
4. It is suitable for bonding and sealing porous stone, laminated glass, hollow glass, mirror glass, coated glass, zinc, copper, iron materials, etc.
 
Silicone weatherproof sealant is mainly used for sealing and caulking between materials, while structural adhesive is mainly used for bonding. The difference between structural adhesive and sealant is the use.
 
Let's take a look at the difference between structural adhesive and sealant. Silicone weather resistant sealant can also be said to be a general-purpose adhesive, mainly with UV resistance, acid rain, snow and other extreme weather. In addition to the characteristics of weather resistant sealant, silicone structural sealant also has stronger bonding performance than silicone weather resistant sealant, mainly in tear strength, fracture elongation, tensile strength is relatively strong, tensile strength is mainly used in the place of pre stress. Structural adhesive is used for structural and non structural assembly and bonding of various curtain walls, while weatherproof adhesive is mainly used for waterproof sealing of joints. The modulus, hardness, strength and price of the structural adhesive are higher than those of the same grade, but the elasticity of the weather resistant adhesive is higher than that of the structural adhesive.
 
Silicone structural sealant and silicone weatherproof sealant can not be mixed. It depends on where you use them. Sealing place with structural adhesive is high cost, and is not conducive to the change of joint displacement. Where structural adhesive should be used, weather resistant adhesive must not be used.
