Heating installations, roof coverings, as well as elements made of concrete, brick, plaster, plasterboards, wood, glass or steel - these are just some of the examples of the use of chemical sealants.
Preparations of this type turn out to be necessary both during installation work, as well as renovation and repair work. Since their use allows you to achieve greater efficiency, it is worth learning more about them. In the new article, we discuss the most important types of sealants - furnace sealants, roofing sealants, acrylic sealants and refractory sealants.
Oven sealant
Furnace sealants are characterized primarily by high resistance to high temperatures and direct exposure to flames. Good preparations of this type should have good adhesion to porous substrates, such as concrete, cast iron or various types of stone. This guarantees their effectiveness in repairing various types of fireplaces, solid fuel boilers and fireplaces. As they are used to seal fixed joints, they should create a stiff, durable joint.
At Onninen, we offer carefully selected high-temperature sealants from renowned manufacturers. In our store you will find, among others sealant for Soudal stoves . The product is available in 280ml packages intended for use in pistol squeezers. Thanks to a specially developed formula based on sodium silicate, it maintains high mechanical strength at temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and is safe for health - it does not contain asbestos.
Roofing sealant
Roofing sealants are intended for sealing roof coverings. Due to the place of application, they must be characterized primarily by resistance to difficult weather conditions. Their compositions are designed to withstand strong sunlight, high humidity, wind, low temperatures and contact with microorganisms and algae. An important feature of these sealants is plasticity, flexibility and adhesion, thanks to which they can be used to create durable and effective connections.
At Onninen we offer Soudal roofing sealant in a 280-ml package to be squeezed out with a pistol applicator. The preparation is based on bituminous elastomers, and the refined composition guarantees very good adhesion, resistance to UV radiation and temperatures ranging from -35 to 130 degrees. Importantly, the sealant does not react with polystyrene. It can be used to repair typical roof coverings, gutters and sheet metal flashings.
Acrylic sealant
After hardening, acrylic creates a plastic and flexible mass, perfect for various applications. Sealants based on it can be used, among others: to fill gaps or scratches, remembering, however, about the relatively low resistance to moisture. Apart from its versatility, the greatest advantage of acrylic is its versatility. Due to its good adhesion to porous surfaces, it works well in combination with materials such as furniture boards and wood, concrete, brick and plasterboard.
Available from Onninen Souda l acrylic sealant is not only mechanically durable, but also retains its color for a long time. This makes it perfect for renovation works where the visual aspect is of great importance. It does not contain solvents, so it does not contribute to the formation of defects on repaired materials.
Caloryżeb refractory sealing compound
A specific type of high-temperature sealant is the Caloryżeb fireproof sealant. It is characterized by resistance to high temperatures (above 1,300 degrees) and high hardness (after cooling, it becomes as hard as granite). It can be used to repair fireplaces, garden hearths and other structures.
The variety of sealants available at Onninen means that every customer, regardless of the work they need to do, will find products tailored to their needs. Since we only offer products from proven suppliers, we guarantee their high quality and the effectiveness of repairs.
