Choose the Ideal Sealant for Your Projects
Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive vs. Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive
In the world of construction and repair, finding the right sealant and adhesive is essential to ensure durability and effectiveness in applications. At PECOL, we offer two high-quality options: the Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive and the Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive. Both are single-component mastics with high-performance characteristics; however, there are important differences that can influence your choice depending on the project.
Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive
The Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive is a high-modulus polyurethane-based sealant that cures upon contact with air humidity. Known for its versatility and durability, this product is suitable for both bonding and sealing in a wide range of applications.
Main Applications:
- Sealing of vertical and horizontal joints in various materials such as concrete and wood;
- Bonding of tiles, skirting boards, and other decorative elements;
- Automotive bodywork repair;
- Insulation of piping and ventilation systems;
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Advantages:
- High adhesion: Excellent adhesion on multiple substrates such as concrete, wood, and metal;
- Extreme resistance: Withstands temperatures between -40°C and +90°C, making it ideal for harsh outdoor environments;
- Permanent elasticity: Even after curing, it maintains elasticity, allowing for the absorption of structural movements;
- Paintable: Can be painted after curing, blending perfectly with different finishes.
However, it is important to note that the Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive should not be used in environments with high chlorine exposure, such as swimming pools, nor in situations of permanent water immersion. It should not be applied in areas with constant UV exposure or on wet or damp surfaces; moreover, users are required to undergo specific and periodic training to be properly qualified to use it.
Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive
The Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive is a solvent- and isocyanate-free hybrid polymer-based sealant — an eco-friendly and more sustainable solution that is also safer for the user due to the absence of isocyanates. However, in situations involving permanent water immersion, the application of this product should be avoided.
Main Applications:
- Sealing of joints and seams in metal and wooden constructions;
- Bonding of decorative and structural elements;
- Suitable for surfaces that require painting, even while the product is still fresh.
Advantages:
- Eco-friendly: Free from hazardous components, making it a safe and sustainable option;
- Weather resistance: High resistance to UV rays and weathering, maintaining color and properties over time;
- Non-corrosive: Suitable for metals, does not cause corrosion;
- Elasticity and adhesion: Adheres to a wide range of materials, even on slightly damp surfaces.
An important feature of the Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive is that it can be applied both indoors and outdoors, but it is not suitable for aquarium construction or other submerged applications.
Final Comparison:
Both products offer excellent performance, but the choice between the Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive and the Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive will depend on the specific needs of the project.
- Extreme durability and temperature resistance: If the project involves exposure to extreme conditions or joint movement, the Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive will be the best choice.
- Sustainability and versatility: For projects that require an eco-friendly and environmentally safe product, the Premium Neutral Sealant & Adhesive provides the ideal advantages, as it can be applied on dry or damp surfaces and adheres to more substrates than the Premium Polyurethane Sealant & Adhesive, since it is solvent-free.
By choosing either of these PECOL sealants, you’ll have a high-quality product designed to deliver long-lasting and reliable bonding and sealing solutions.
