Functions of silicone products in construction

    Obviously, the silicone products have a big demand in the market, which can be used in catering industry, auto industry, construction and so on, today we discuss the application of silicone products in construction.

Construction

In building and construction, silicone sealants, adhesives and coatings make construction materials work better and last longer. Silicone adhesives bond diverse materials such as concrete, glass, granite, steel and plastics. This enables innovative architecture and engineering, such as dramatic glass facades or curved and suspended structures. Sealants ensure materials stay affixed and absorb stress and movement from wind or earthquakes. Sealants and coatings also protect joints and materials from moisture, heat, corrosion, sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, pollution and other chemicals.

Restoration

Silicone help restore historical buildings and landmarks without compromising the appearance or integrity of the original material.

Sealants and adhesives reinforce the natural strength and “weatherability” of the joints and structures. They add water repellency and "breathability" to natural materials such as porous sandstone and porous limestone. And, silicone coatings can be applied uniformly so they do not stain or streak.
