Sealants on silicone basis in aquarium DIY came from an adjacent construction sphere to replace coarse frames.
Sealant is a polymer material that is designed to seal joints and seams in domestic and construction work. There are such types of sealants: acrylic (filling of seams and sealing of joints), butyl (primary sealing of the glass package), bituminous (has good adhesion to building materials), polysulfide (high-quality sealing), polyurethane (structural sealing), hybrid (sealing seams in high-altitude structures and Healing goals), siliconized (sealing seams and cracks in wood structures), silicone (universal).
WITHaquarium (siloxane liquid rubber) or siloxanes are the most universal of all existing. In everyday life, they are used to seal the seams in the toilet and bathrooms, and for special purposes: structural glazing, installation of wall types of panels, installation of polycarbonate structures, installation in the frame of glass windows, sealing of construction and fire-fighting seams, household appliances and electronic components Devices, street and industrial lamps, air ducts, fastening mirrors, sealing in radiators and engines of gaskets, and sealing during the repair and production of aquariums.
Chemically silicone sealants are inert, their elasticity reaches 800%, duration of service life - about 20 years, they are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, their operating temperature range is wide, to all building materials. Beautiful adhesion, color palette is wide.
Silicone sealants, of all others, as a rule, have a higher price. It has the highest indicator, in comparison with other species, permissible seam deformation (exceeds 25%), non-toxic, the submission will not emit any substances into the environment. The type of hardener is divided into acid and neutral species.
