How waterproof is silicone sealant? Are there strict requirements for the construction environment?

Silicone Sealant is a kind of sealant, this sealant at room temperature as long as the contact with water vapor in the air will occur curing reaction, once cured will form an elastic colloidal, this colloidal metal is not corrosive, as long as the environmental protection level will not affect human health.

How waterproof is silicone sealant?

1, silicone sealant waterproof performance is very good, once the glue will show a good bonding, sealing effect, can eliminate water, moisture intrusion, good quality products used for many years performance unchanged, such as Kosmore, focus on sealant research, provide customized sealant application solutions. Common areas of use are: household appliance shell bonding, LED lights, car lights, power switches and so on.

2, although silicone sealant has good waterproof performance, but only as a daily waterproof, can not be used as a waterproof material, for underwater electrical shell bonding, if long-term immersion in water, glue viscosity will be affected, can not be used in a humid environment for a long time, to avoid damage to the performance of the glue.

Do silicone sealants have harsh requirements for construction environments?

1, silicone sealant in the construction, the construction site must have air circulation, convenient ventilation. Because the glue contains ethanol, the alcohol taste will be released during the construction process, and if these tastes cannot be dispersed or volatilized in time, the human body will be harmful to health after mass inhalation.

2, the construction environment as far as possible to keep in the normal temperature state is more conducive to construction, the construction environment temperature is low affect the overall curing speed, if the curing time is too long, the overall performance of the glue will also be affected.

Silicone sealant is not only strict requirements for the construction environment, but also has strict requirements for the construction substrate, the surface of the construction substrate must be clean and tidy, without any impurities, otherwise it will affect the bonding strength, easy to degumming after curing.

Silicone sealant is a common adhesive, this adhesive in the construction process will release some alcohol flavor is a normal phenomenon, as long as the operator do the relevant protective measures to ensure the ventilation of the construction environment will not have an impact.
