Sealant selection is driven by joint movement, UV exposure and what the sealant has to bond to. A facade joint in UAE summer sun is a different problem from an internal sanitary joint, and the wrong product fails within a season.

We supply neutral-cure and acetoxy silicones, one and two-component polyurethanes, polysulphides for trafficked joints, and backing materials to complete the detail.

Selection Guide

Choosing the Right Construction Sealant

Sealants fail when the wrong chemistry meets the wrong joint. This table is a starting point for common UAE applications.

Sealant typeTypical usePoints to check
Neutral-cure siliconeGlazing, facade joints and metal claddingExcellent weathering; cannot be painted and some grades stain porous stone.
PolyurethaneConcrete joints, floor joints and precast panelsGood abrasion resistance and paintable; protect from prolonged UV where exposed.
Hybrid (MS or SMP) polymerGeneral-purpose bonding and sealing, including damp surfacesPaintable, solvent-free and low odour; check the data sheet for movement capability.
AcrylicInterior gap filling before paintingLow movement only; not for external joints or wet areas.

Send the joint width and depth, the two surfaces being sealed, indoor or outdoor exposure and the quantity, and we will recommend a product and the matching backer rod and primer. Request a quote or message us on WhatsApp.

Questions

Common Questions

Which sealant is right for a facade joint?

Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice for facades because it holds up to UV and handles high movement. For trafficked joints at ground level, polyurethane or polysulphide is normally specified instead.

Do I need a primer with sealant?

On porous substrates like concrete and stone, usually yes. Non-porous substrates such as glass and anodised aluminium often do not need one. We supply the matching primer for the sealant you order.

Can you supply sealant in bulk cartridges or sausages?

Yes. We supply standard cartridges, foil sausages and bulk pails depending on the product and the quantity you need.

What does movement capability mean on a sealant?

It is the percentage of joint width the sealant can stretch and compress without failing, for example plus or minus 25 percent. Choose a sealant whose rating exceeds the expected joint movement.

Can sealants be painted over?

Polyurethane, hybrid and acrylic sealants can usually be painted. Silicones cannot, because paint does not adhere to them.
