Silicone Sealant for expansion joint filler in RCC work

For sealants to work, they must bond effectively to the concrete structure they are applied on. They must also be resistant to temperatures and seismic quake as these factors are out of a builder or home owner's control. Silicone Sealants have a chemical backbone that is different to polyurethane sealants. Polyurethane sealants wilt under pressure caused by fluctuations in temperature because they are made from materials that are organic.

Silicone Sealants don't suffer this issue as they have been chemically altered to increase their strength – also their resistance to changes in pressure and temperature.
