Different types of sealants have their own individual technical characteristics, namely:

• sanitary types have high resistance to aging and moisture, antiseptic chemicals prevent the formation of dangerous microorganisms;
• universal products are used for glass, ceramic and aluminum surfaces, they have a high percentage of resistance to moisture, ultraviolet radiation and the appearance of mold;
• the neutral group of goods is applied to surfaces of different types, due to the unique properties, they enable their use on a working base that is not treated with primers; the absence of a strong odor, environmental safety and resistance to moisture and ozone allow the work in the premises for various purposes;
• acrylic materials are a unique group of sealants that retain flexibility after their use, they have a high level of resistance to solar radiation and to the effects of low temperatures;experienced builders are advised not to use acrylic sealants for rooms with high humidity;
• there are no asbestos components in the composition of bitumen solutions, which does not allow the mixture to drain on a wet surface;
• refractory mixtures have the most versatile technical characteristics, resistance to high temperatures and an open source of fire, there is no process of shrinkage and formation of smoke, it is applied on surfaces of various types;
• Polyurethane species have a high level of resistance to the action of chemical compounds and salt, and their shelf life is from 1 to 2 years.

On the shelves of specialized construction stores You can find these types of products brand Makroflex:

• silicone;
• universal;

• acrylic;
• special.

The standard cartridge volume is 290 ml or 300 ml, the color is gray, red or green. The greatest demand and popularity are several types of transparent sealants.

• Universal silicone AA105 and AX104 - This is a one-component solution for filling the seams. The advantages include high traction, elasticity, resistance to moisture and the action of chemical elements.The scope of application is general construction works of various types, machine repair, glazing works.

• Sanitary silicone SA102 and SX101 - This is a one-component mixture. Advantages - it is resistant to the negative effects of the environment, the presence of antiseptic properties, elasticity, moisture resistance. It is used during the repair of rooms with high humidity (bathroom, kitchen, bath), and is also intended for installation work on equipment for aquariums.

• Neutral silicone NA109 and NX108 - This is a one-component silicone solution. Its advantages are the resistance to alkaline working bases, the possibility of using it on painted structures, resistance to chemicals and water, elasticity. Scope of application - installation of mirror structures, repair of freezing equipment and ventilation systems, implementation of general construction works.

• Glass GA103 - is a high-strength silicone solution used for working with glass. Its advantages include resistance to the action of chemical solutions, elasticity, resistance to sudden temperature changes.
• Bituminous BA141 - This is a plastic mixture, which is based on modified bitumen. Advantages are UV resistance, high adhesion rates, ability to apply on wet surfaces that are not treated with a primer. Scope - repair of water supply and ventilation systems, installation of drainpipes.
• Acrylic-latex FA131 and FX130 - it is a sealant for indoor and outdoor applications. It is characterized by moisture resistance, the ability to cover paintwork. Scope of application - repair of porous moving working surfaces for various purposes.

• Heat resistant TA145 - it is a heat-resistant silicone solution used for the repair of heating systems, engines, stoves and fireplaces equipment. Advantages are resistance to temperature extremes, the action of chemical elements, a high level of elasticity.
• Polyurethane - is a low-modular sealant used for sealing facade joints, pipes and tanks.

Universal properties and technical characteristics of different types of sealants determine the area of ​​their application.

Professional builders identify the most popular applications:

• sealing joints, seams and cracks in the bathroom, corridors and kitchen;
• hermetic work on household appliances for various purposes;
• implementation of various works inside and outside the room;
• application for sealing windows, doors and refrigeration equipment.

Before buying a sealant, it is necessary to determine the scope of application and only then choose the desired solution, carefully studying its properties and technical characteristics. In specialized stores, experienced consultants will help you make the right choice and purchase the necessary goods.

Before the start of the work of the beginner master The following tips from professional builders should be carefully considered:

• A universal sealant is suitable for filling seams and sealing joints;
• for work on ceramic and porcelain surfaces having a high temperature,need to purchase a heat-resistant solution;
• optimum temperature condition - from +10 to +50 degrees;
• the working surface must be cleared of debris, dust, ice, condensate and treated with degreasing solutions;
• the tip of the cartridge should be cut only at an angle of 45 degrees.
• the drying period of the silicone solution is 20 minutes, and it is not recommended to coat this mixture with varnishes and paints;
• drying time of acrylic sealant is 60 minutes; Dyeing should be carried out only with water-based paints, having previously checked their compatibility.

Inhalation of solution vapors without personal protective equipment may result in impaired respiratory system. If the mixture gets on the mucous membrane and skin, wash the surface with plenty of water. Only a completely dry sealant is safe for health and the environment.
