Glass, metal, and plastic surfaces can all be joined together with silicone sealants. For instance, silicone is frequently used to seal aquariums. Due to its weather resistance, silicone adhesive is frequently used to seal windows to frames. High modulus silicone sealants are used to seal glass to window and door frames, as well as in commercial and residential sanitary applications.
High modulus sealants are the recommended sealant for kitchen and bathroom surfaces since they are made to withstand repeated cleaning and are frequently combined with fungicide. For repairs around sinks, faucets, toilets, and bathtubs, silicone sealants are ideal. Silicone caulks and sealants are advantageous for building work, particularly outside, due to the strong hold they produce.
The Global Machinery Silicone Sealant market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Wacker releases silicone sealants made from renewable sources. Wacker is expanding its line of silicone products to include silicone sealants made from raw materials that are renewable. The Munich-based chemical group is now able to provide silicone sealant suppliers with solutions made from bio-based methanol thanks to the launch of its Elastosil green brand in Europe.
The new brand is founded on the REDcert2 standard, which verifies the traceability of renewable raw materials across Wacker’s whole production process, from the initial upstream process to the silicone sealant that is ready for use.
Wacker’s initial effort, Elastosil eco, uses bio-based methanol to replace all fossil-based additives and raw ingredients in the product formulation. The biomethanol that is purchased must come from verified sustainable sources in order to qualify. As part of the annual recertification process, routine audits are conducted on raw material volumes required for manufacture.
Wacker provides a comprehensive worry-free package, giving customers the opportunity to purchase a sustainable silicone sealant first.Currently, 100% silicone acetic and alkoxy curing silicone sealants are offered as Elastosil green products. For professional construction applications, acetoxy curing sealants are widely utilised because of their long shelf life.
In glazing and window applications, in addition to a few industrial ones, alkoxy curing grades display exceptional adhesion and elongation. Both types are equally accessible as professional hygienic applications.
