Neither construction and repair can do without special materials that seal the seams, because they ensure the integrity of the structure and perform a number of other important functions.
When choosing a sealant for seams in metal products, it is important to pay attention to the following factors:
Sealant type
There are many types of sealants, but for joints in metal products, sealants based on silicone or polyurethane are usually used. Silicone sealants have high temperature and UV resistance, while polyurethane sealants have excellent tensile strength and high strength.
Sealant properties
Make sure the sealant has the required properties for the specific application. For example, if you are going to seal joints that are subject to high mechanical stress, it is important to choose a sealant with high strength or elastic properties.
Purpose
Consider for what conditions and environments the sealant will be used. For example, if the object will be exposed to high temperatures or harsh chemicals, choose a sealant that has the appropriate resistance to that specific environment.
Color Compatibility
If appearance is an important factor, choose a sealant that matches the color of the metal surface and meets the aesthetic requirements of the room design. You can also pay attention to sealants that can be painted.
Ease of use
Make sure the sealant has a convenient form of use. For example, some sealants come in cartridges that can be used with a caulking gun to make the job easier.
Which seam sealer to choose?
Considering all the above factors, we recommend paying attention to the Teknopoliderz 1K material. This is a polyurethane sealant for joints with a thickness of 10 to 35 mm. It withstands high loads with an elongation at break of up to 800%, is not afraid of exposure to moisture and ultraviolet rays, and most importantly, it is ideal for use on metal surfaces.
