Do You Really Know the Acrylic Latex Sealant?

What's the Acrylic Sealant?

Acrylic latex caulk sealant is mainly composed of emulsion,plasticizer,ethylene glycol,dispersant,filler and other components.Acrylic sealant is a flexible,one component,water based acrylic joint sealant and gap filler where low demand of elongation are quired,for interior use.Adheres to glass,wood,aluminum,brick,concrete,plasterboard,ceramic and painted surfaces.

The curing speed of acrylic sealant is slow, similar to the curing process of cement, putty powder and other building materials, the substrate adhesion of the smooth surface is limited, and the elongation is medium and low, and it is not suitable for the sealing of the expansion joint parts with large displacement (displacement capacity of more than 15%.

Acrylic sealant has different emulsion formulation,such ad pure acrylic emulsion,styrene acrylic emulsion,silicone acrylic emulsion,vinegar acrylic emulsion,etc.Pure acrylic emulsion has good weather resistance,high elongation,good elasticity,suitable for indoor and outdoor use,water resistance is slightly poor, high cost; The weather resistance and elasticity of styrene acrylic emulsion are good, suitable for outdoor use, but the resin content of the product is low, and the displacement level is low. Silicon-acrylic emulsion has good weather resistance, adhesion and water resistance, which is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, but the cost is high and the storage stability is slightly poor. Vinegar acrylic emulsion is economical, good adhesion, good initial effect, easy yellow edge, high hardness, suitable for interior decoration.

What's the Features of Acrylic Latex Caulk?

Acrylic latex caulk is water based,it can be cleaned by water before curing.Acrylic sealant can be painted using water based paints.It's no toxic and low voc.It also can be sanded back once fully cured if required to give smooth surface finish.It has excellent adhesion to most materials,especially for multi-porpous materials bonding,suitable for sealing low movement joints around brick,concrete,plasterboard,windows,doors,ceramic tiles and filling of cracks prior to painting.

What's the Application of Acrylic Sealant?

Acrylic sealant is mainly emulsion type, no pollution, convenient construction, stable bonding, elastic, UV resistance, oil resistance, water resistance and can be painted, can be used for concrete assembly type internal and external wall panel joints, ground joints, wall holes and building contacts and other sealing.

In small and medium-sized buildings, acrylic sealant is more widely used than silicone sealant, and the price is cheaper.

1. Fill and seal the ground depression,interior wall decoration gaps or cracks,cement cracks and wall holes in the building.

2. Concrete and window frame,door frame,baseboard,gypsum ceiling joint clearance seal.

3. Fireproof sealing of the wall threading hole.

4. The sealing of internal and external wall panel joints and ground wall joints in prefabricated buildings.
