The difference between silicone sealant and acrylic sealant

1. Material properties

(1) silicone sealant: silicone sealant is a transparent viscous adhesive, mainly composed of polyurethane resin, silicone and other materials. It has good waterproof, UV resistance, weather resistance and other advantages.

(2) acrylic sealant: acrylic sealant is a water-based adhesive, mainly composed of acrylic acid, water and other ingredients. It is easy to construct, dries quickly and is low-cost, but its viscosity is poor.

2. Scope of use

(1) silicone sealant : silicone sealant is widely used in building decoration, home decoration, car maintenance and other fields, such as glass window installation, sanitary ware installation, water and electricity pipe joint sealing, etc.

(2) acrylic sealant: acrylic sealant is generally used for gluing paper, cartons, tapes and other materials. It can also be used for bonding wood, ceramic tiles and other fields.

3. Bonding effect

(1) silicone sealant : silicone sealant can basically be bonded to any material. The bonding effect is very good, and it has high durability and anti-aging properties.

(2) acrylic sealant: acrylic sealant has weak viscosity and is only suitable for bonding some lighter materials.

4. Construction requirements

(1)silicone sealant : When constructing glass glue, you need to pay attention to the influence of ambient temperature and humidity. When using it, it is best to wipe the bonding surface with alcohol first, and then apply glue for bonding.

(2)acrylic sealant: There is no need to turn on the ventilation equipment during acrylic glue construction, and the construction environment is relatively relaxed. You only need to use a brush or roller to spread the glue evenly.

5. Summary

Silicone sealant and acrylic sealant are two common adhesive materials that play an important role in different fields and usage scenarios. silicone sealant has a better bonding effect on hard materials, while acrylic sealant is more suitable for gluing lightweight materials. When using these two materials, you also need to pay attention to the construction method and environment according to the specific situation to ensure the bonding effect and service life.
