How Sealants Function

How do the application and performance characteristics of sealants correlate to the composition of the sealant formulation?

Edward M. Petrie

February 27, 2006

Sealants are generally lower in strength than adhesives, but have better flexibility. Usually, a sealant must effectively bond to a substrate in order to perform these functions.
