A sealant is a viscous material that changes state to become solid, once applied, and is used to prevent the penetration of air, gas, noise, dust or liquid from one location through a barrier into another. Typically, sealants are used to close small openings that are difficult to shut with other materials, such as concrete, drywall, etc. Desirable properties of sealants include insolubility, corrosion resistance, and adhesion.
Joints between panels are generally made waterproof by a gunned in sealant. The most widely specified sealant is low modulus silicone. Silicone has high movement accommodation ability and long life expectancy. Primary seals will have a twin outer seal with a cavity between drained at an appropriate point.
Often used as a synonym for "caulk." The word "sealant" usually means a compound that has greater performance than a caulk, i.e., it can accommodate movement in a joint or crack.
Silicone or other product used for creating a waterproof seal around baths, etc.
See: Hoof sealant.
