In our daily life, construction chemicals are essential at every stage of construction so that modern buildings can meet our comfort, safety, aesthetic concerns, and shelter needs. In short, construction chemicals can be named auxiliary materials used in construction and building construction. Construction chemicals, generally used in the construction industry and produced with the latest technology, are used instead of traditional adhesives and classic strengthening repair materials. We can divide construction chemicals into many sub-titles. As Brio, we will examine Silicone and Acrylic based adhesives.
Silicone sealant is resistant to moisture, chemicals, and external weather conditions. It has high adhesive strength and is known for its permanent flexibility. While maintaining its flexibility at low and high temperatures, it can also be used in places in direct contact with water. It is resistant to mold formation.
It can generally be used in PVC, aluminum, and wooden joinery, bathtubs, sinks, tiles, and ceramics, in addition to sound, water, and dust insulation of vehicles.
Standard Silicones: These silicones with the universal silicone inscription are the most preferred. It is generally used for filling, sealing, insulation, and bonding works. Especially in the bathroom, it is preferred for sealing the edges of the shower cabin, bathtub, and sink. In addition, it is also used in the filling and bonding of glass joinery, metal, tiles, and PVC building elements. It is resistant to all kinds of weather conditions, and thanks to its flexibility, it can be used between the window and the frame instead of glass paste. In addition, it has a mold-preventing feature in applications to be made in wet areas such as bathrooms.
Heat Resistant Silicones: It can be used in manufacturing and repairing electrical household goods or in manufacturing and repairing automobile spare parts. It is known for its high elasticity. It can be used in automotive as a liquid seal. It can be used for bonding, filling and insulation purposes. You can easily choose Brio Silicone Universal because it is heat resistant.
The most significant advantage of acrylic sealant over silicone sealant is that it is paintable. In addition, in all other areas, silicone sealants outperform acrylic adhesives. Silicone sealant is more flexible than acrylic sealant and has a longer life. Acrylic sealant changes according to the climate in which it is applied. In addition, silicone sealants are easier to use than acrylic sealants.
