Silicone has been used to seal building interiors and exteriors for close to a century because silicone sealants are ultraviolet (uv) stabilised and are resistant to harsh weather environments such as freezing cold and extreme heat. This is because the operational temperature range of silicone is -50 deg C to 250 deg C. However construction specifiers have been turning to pre cured silicone seals for the past few decades because a pre cured sealant system can handle at least 100 percent more expansion and at least 25 more compression movement than traditional ‘liquid applied ‘elastomeric sealants.
This makes Dry Seals a far superior option to using a wet seals solution. A wet seal solution to filling joints is enormously damaging to our environment as the amount of waste material generated worldwide is only adding to the severe global epidemic our planet earth is already facing due to the amount of plastic waste mankind is already generating.
As the population increases more and more buildings are going to be built to accommodate a already over populated world and if the problems of today’s technologies are not changed when we have solutions to change them, then our planet will just spiral out of control!
At Dry Seals we have harnessed this technology by creating a series of cured silicone extrusions that we call Dry Seals.
The Dry Seals joint sealing technic takes the Wet Seal caulking method out of the equation by:
