\n[et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]For centuries, people have used natural material to fill the gaps between all kinds of structures. The first synthetic polymers were developed in the 1930s, and the residential caulks now come in five common types, according to their chemistry.<\/p>\n

Versatility and efficiency<\/h2>\n

The polyurethane caulk<\/a> is based on the reaction between glycol and isocyanate and it\u2019s generally the best choice for outdoor applications. It\u2019s highly durable and often used instead of silicone caulk<\/a>. A versatile sealant, it has the ability to adhere to a number of materials, which makes it excellent for creating seals between surfaces.<\/p>\n

Here’s the 5 main advantages of polyurethane caulking:<\/p>\n

Adherence<\/h2>\n

Its versatility is perhaps its greatest benefit. The polyurethane caulk can be used on plastic, concrete, wood, metal, and glass. It also adheres very well to vinyl siding<\/a>, aluminum siding<\/a> and brick. The only thing you should be careful with is polycarbonate plastic.<\/p>\n

Elasticity<\/h2>\n

The reason why the polyurethane caulking sticks so well is because it actually bonds to the material on a molecular level. It also has an unmatched stretching ability \u2013 elasticity up to 300% or more – which is useful if you\u2019re going to apply in on materials, expected to expand and contract on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Durability<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s also extremely durable \u2013 the seal can last up to 10-20 years, depending on the exposure. It\u2019s also paintable and water-resistant which makes it an excellent choice for a variety of jobs and materials. Since it\u2019s solvent-based, you need to use paint cleaner when cleaning it up. It can also be a little stiff and toxic and that\u2019s why it requires extra caution, when handling.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

However, the polyurethane caulk offers unmatched adhesive strength, elasticity and can hold up to any heavy movement. Apart from that, this ultimate sealant can also be painted easily and is great for filling indoor, as well as outdoor gaps.<\/p>\n
