Dive deep into the understanding of sealants and adhesives

Sealants and adhesives are used to connect and join various parts to the main structure. They help to fill the gaps and sometimes act as a barrier to prevent fluids/ leakages pass through. Have a look at the guide to sealants and adhesives in the article below. 

What is a polysulphide sealant and where is it used?

 

It is made of resins that are flexible, dynamic, easy to work, and have strong adhesive properties. There are multiple uses known for a polysulphide sealant. Some of them are presented to you below.


  1. They are used in construction sites and are known for their high resistance to sunlight salt water and general environmental factors.
  2. It is known for its strong adhesive property and is used on every construction site. 

  3. It creates a strong feeling on both sides of the surface which diminishes the risk of water leakage and erosion.

  4. It is the best choice for Marine body construction as it is not water-soluble

  5. It is a popular choice area with high rainfall. This kind of sealant ensures that no moistures leak into the building and prevents the building from getting damaged.

  6. A Polysulphide sealant completes a wide variety of tasks and is consistently used in many large industries.
  7. It is a no-brainer choice in the construction and is also used in the aviation industry.

Types of polysulphide sealant offered by IWL 

We offer two types of polysulphide sealant that are 

1. Liquiseal PSPG  It is used to fill the gap between concrete slabs in roads and Airport Tarmacs

2. Liquiseal PSGG  It is used for filling grooves in civil structures.

Epoxy - the new age waterproofing 

Epoxy is a type of polymer that is tough and Elastic. It is very high in compressive strength and is waterproof and hardened and some epoxy is carefully designed to be waterproof in itself. 

Uses of epoxy in construction

1. Creating high gloss durable coatings:  It is used to create a durable coating for both indoor and outdoor use and adds to the gloss of coatings which medium appear Shiny and appealing. 

2. Quick dry: It dries quickly and saves a lot of time on your hand. 

3. Protective coating: It acts as a protective coating and protects your walls and surfaces from all the things that can cause to damage it. 

4. Ideal adhesive: It is an ideal device and an excellent material to be used in myriad applications.

What You Should Remember About Pipe Coatings and Zinc-Rich Primer

A pipeline coating is a practical and cost-effective method of safeguarding pipeline integrity. This coating contributes to a continuous protective liner that protects pipes from corrosion. Pipeline coating is widely acknowledged as one of the most dependable corrosion protection technologies employed by enterprises worldwide today. Pipeline coating, on the other hand, is not straightforward; accomplishing a successful pipe painting assignment necessitates a protracted process. Before we get started, let's look at some pipe coating applications. As a result, it is commonly employed in order to avoid the detrimental impacts of corrosion on pipeline operation, capacity, and costs. That corrosion, on the other hand, is avoidable. Its disposal, however, may damage animals. Among the many benefits of pipeline coatings are: It improves gas flow since its surface is absolutely smooth. It saves money on energy since coated pipes have a substantial impact on decreasing compression and pump

Why Should You Pay Attention to Waterproofing?

Cementitious waterproofing coatings are breathable coatings that can provide positive and negative side waterproofing to concrete and masonry surfaces. Positive-side waterproofing generates a watertight barrier on the side of the surface that has hydrostatic pressure applied to it. This would be the exterior surface closest to the dirt on a foundation, for example. Negative-side waterproofing, on the other hand, covers the surface opposite the side that has hydrostatic pressure applied to it. The interior of a basement wall is an example of this. These coatings, in addition to keeping moisture out, can protect against mould, mildew, and water infiltration. Concrete is a strong and long-lasting building material that is commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, tanks, dams, pools, pipelines, sewers, and other structures. Concrete, on the other hand, is known to be permeable and porous. Water and water vapour can infiltrate concrete and cause long-term corrosion a

Cementitious waterproofing is a type of waterproofing material that uses cement as its main ingredient. This type of waterproofing is often used in the construction of basements and other structures that need to be kept dry. If you want your construction to last for a long time, cementitious waterproofing is necessary. In this blog, we will look at some advantages of cementitious waterproofing.  Benefits of Cementitious Waterproofing Cementitious waterproofing for walls is as effective as pyp kote taping for pipes. There are many benefits to using cementitious waterproofing, including its durability and its ability to resist water damage. Some of the benefits of cementitious waterproofing are as follows:  Cementitious waterproofing is made by adding water to cement powder and mixing it until it forms a paste. This paste is then applied to the surface that needs to be waterproofed. Once the paste dries, it forms a hard, water-resistant barrier. One of the benefits of cementitious wate
