Pyroplex® Intumescent Acrylic Sealant is tested to BS 476: Part 20: 1987, BS EN 1366-4: 2006 and has a European Classification EI240 in accordance with BS EN 13501-2: 2007. If you’re looking for specialist mastic or a general-purpose silicone sealant, our wide range is sure to have everything you need for bonding, waterproofing and weatherproofing both inside and outside your home.
It is worth pointing out though that acrylic sealants don’t work well on larger openings. Since they don’t expand that much following application, they may not be able to completely cover up a big opening that’s present along a door or window. You’ll have to rely on a different kind of sealant in that scenario. Heat Resistant Silicones:It is generally used in the production, repair and manufacture of automobile spare parts for industrial machinery parts and electrical household appliances that require high heat resistance. It has high elastic properties. It is frequently used in automotive as a liquid gasket. It can be used for adhesion, filling, insulation purposes. For sealing and bonding in where high temperature resistance is required, Akfix HT300 High Temperature Silicone provides an effective solution with its excellent durability. Clean. To guarantee the best seal, ensure the area and surfaces you are working with are clean and clear of any foreign objects, such as dust or debris. Since it is resistant to moisture, low or high temperature, it can be applied to different materials both indoors and outdoors.
Generally, it can be used in PVC, aluminum and wood joinery, bathtubs, sinks, tiles and ceramics, and sound, water and dust insulation of vehicles. MS Polymer Sealants are another “all rounder”; they have great durability, flexibility, excellent adhesion to non-porous surfaces, will bond to damp surfaces and are paintable. They are best used as an adhesive or sealant on surfaces that experience frequent vibration or strain. They are also ideal for gluing panels, skirting boards, windows, mirrors and insulation materials.
The one main advantage that acrylic adhesive tends to have over silicone sealant is paint or paintability with various kinds of paints. However, this cannot be said when it comes to silicone sealants. Silicone sealants easily outperform the acrylic counterparts in other areas. For instance, silicone sealants are much more durable than acrylic sealants, as they are more flexible. The primary objective for all types of sealants is to close a gap. Gaps are problematic because they are spots where air could escape and moisture could gather. It would be best to seal them up as soon as they emerge. Aquarium Sealants are another form of silicone sealant, the only difference is they are non-toxic to fish and reptiles and therefore ideal for sealing aquariums and terrariums. Other Sealants for DIY Use High Temperature Silicone Sealants are basically gasket sealants designed for forming gasket joints where an extremely high temperature resistance is necessary. They can also be used to seal and bond oven doors.Secondly, acrylic adhesives are more prone to outside weather and climate conditions when they are applied externally. Atmospheric conditions must always be preferably warm and dry if the acrylic sealant is to stand the test of time and prevent the curing sealant from being washed off the joint. Again, this is not the case for silicone sealants, as they are easier to tool and finish, unlike their acrylic counterparts. High Modulus Acetoxy Silicone Sealants are ideal for interior applications such as interior draught sealing around windows or doors, sealing kitchen units and electrical components. It also has many sanitary applications such sealing around baths, showers, glass and tiling but ensure the sealant contains a fungicide.
