Adhesives
Silicone & hybrid sealants
Silicone and silane-modified hybrid systems remain flexible and accommodate thermal movement while sealing against weather and moisture.
In simple terms
Silicone and silane-modified hybrid systems remain flexible and accommodate thermal movement while sealing against weather and moisture.
Best for
Sealing, thermal cycling, vibration and joints where flexibility matters more than maximum structural stiffness.
Watch out for
Low structural modulus, contamination risk for later bonding or painting, cure depth and substrate-specific primers.
Typical applications
Enclosures, glazing, transport seams, electronics and environmental seals.
