How are silicones used in Construction applications?
Sealants and adhesives have revolutionised building techniques in recent years but silicone sealants have been and continue to play a very important role. The natural physical characteristics of silicone include:
- High strength bond with glass
- High bond strength to ceramics
- Water repellence
- Flexibility
- UV resistance
Glazing sealants now form structural functions within buildings and CHT manufactures to the highest standards. For many years, commercial sized marine aquaria with walk-through tunnels have been constructed using CHT’s translucent RTV silicone sealants.
