{"title":"Caulks, Sealants \u0026 Adhesives","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur commercial and industrial grade sealants and caulks contain ultra-low or no VOCs and have virtually no odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough they are seldom very noticeable, caulking sealant, adhesive caulk, caulking glue, and other caulks, sealants, and adhesives play a crucial role in keeping insects, rain, and cold air out of homes (and other interior spaces). These products can also block noise and even fire. They bind things together, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaulk vs. Sealant vs. Adhesive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat’s the difference between a caulk, a sealant, and an adhesive? Here are some simple definitions to get us started:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaulk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaulking compounds are flexible sealing compounds specified for indoor or outdoor use for filling and smoothing gaps in wood, concrete, stone, glass, or metal. These compounds protect against intrusion of water, air, dust, sound, insects, or fire. Specialty caulks, referred to as caulking sealants or adhesive caulk, have additional characteristics that make them more like sealants or adhesives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSealant\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecified for indoor or outdoor use, sealants block the passage of fluids through cracks or gaps. Most sealants have all the same properties of caulk but are often more flexible or resistant to the elements than simple caulks. Specialty sealants called sound-deadening sealants or adhesive sealants exhibit the additional advantages suggested by their names compared to regular sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdhesive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdhesives hold two surfaces together. These products typically are made for indoor or outdoor use, but rarely both. Like caulks, most adhesives will seal and fill in gaps, but they may not have caulk’s flexibility or resistance to moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause they play such an important part in protecting your home, you want the best caulks, sealants, and glues you can find.
