Joint sealants are divided into 3 categories – preformed tapes, caulks, and elastomeric sealants. Preformed tapes are available in rolls; they are commonly used in window glazing, door jambs, and gypsum drywall. Caulks are dough-like materials and are the first generation of sealing compounds. Glazing putty is an example of the earliest caulks used in buildings. It consists of nearly 12% linseed oil and 88% chalk that hardens as it cures, leading to cracking, loss of elasticity and hence loss of sealing ability. It is rarely used today. Elastomeric sealants are synthetic materials (polymers) and are the ones most commonly used in contemporary construction. The 5 commonly used synthetic sealants are: Polyisobutylene, Acrylics, Polyurethane, Polysulfide, and Silicone. Of the five sealants, which one has high strength and exceptional resistance to ultraviolet radiation?
Polyisobutylene
Acrylics
Polyurethane
Polysulfide
Silicone
Of the five sealants, which one has excellent moisture resistance?
Polyisobutylene
Acrylics
Polyurethane
Polysulfide
Silicone
Of the five sealants, which one has excellent chemical and weather resistance?
Polyisobutylene
Acrylics
Polyurethane
Polysulfide
Silicone
This sealant has high abrasion resistance, has high compatibility with a wide variety of substrates, and is thus the sealant of choice in horizontal joints subjected to foot traffic.
