High quality Sealants, Adhesives & Primers products

Our ranges of sealants, adhesives and primers encompasses a diverse range of materials and formulations used for various applications in building and infrastructure projects. These products are designed to seal gaps, joints, and cracks; bond materials together; and prepare surfaces for subsequent treatments or applications.

Construction Sealants


Sealants in construction are materials used to fill and seal gaps, joints, and cracks in building components such as concrete, masonry, wood, metal, and glass. They provide a barrier against air, water, moisture, dust, and noise infiltration.

Common types of sealants include silicone sealants, polyurethane sealants, acrylic sealants, latex sealants, butyl rubber sealants, and asphalt sealants. Each type has specific properties such as flexibility, adhesion, durability, and compatibility with different substrates and environmental conditions.

Construction Adhesives


Adhesives in construction are substances used to bond two or more materials together by forming a strong and durable adhesive bond. They provide structural integrity, load transfer, and resistance to shear and tensile forces, allowing for the assembly of building components and construction elements.

Common types of adhesives include epoxy adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, acrylic adhesives, and, solvent-based adhesives. Each type has specific characteristics such as curing time, strength, flexibility, and compatibility with different materials.

Construction Primers


Primers in construction are coatings applied to surfaces to improve adhesion, enhance durability, and promote uniformity of subsequent coatings or treatments. They create a bonding layer between the substrate and the topcoat, ensuring proper adhesion and performance of the finish.

Common types of primers include concrete primers, metal primers, wood primers, masonry primers, and universal primers. They may be solvent-based, water-based, or epoxy-based, depending on the substrate and application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sealants, Adhesives & Primers

What is the difference between sealants, adhesives, and primers?

Sealants are used to fill and seal gaps, joints, and cracks to prevent air, water, and moisture infiltration. Adhesives are used to bond two or more materials together, creating a strong and durable connection. Primers are coatings applied to surfaces to improve adhesion and promote uniformity of subsequent coatings or treatments.

What are some common applications for sealants, adhesives, and primers in construction?

• Common applications for sealants include sealing expansion joints, control joints, window and door frames, roofing systems, and concrete pavements.
• Common applications for adhesives include bonding structural elements, installing flooring materials, and assembling prefabricated components.
• Common applications for primers include preparing surfaces before painting, sealing, or applying coatings.

How do I choose the right sealant, adhesive, or primer for my project?

Consider factors such as the type of substrate, environmental conditions, application method, curing time, compatibility with other materials, and performance requirements when selecting sealants, adhesives, or primers for your project. Consult with manufacturers or construction professionals for guidance if needed.

Are sealants, adhesives, and primers suitable for DIY projects?

Some products within this category may be suitable for DIY projects, while others may require specialised knowledge and equipment for proper application. It’s important to follow manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines when using these products, and to assess your skill level and project complexity before proceeding.

How long does it take for sealants, adhesives, and primers to cure?

Curing time varies depending on factors such as the type of product, substrate, temperature, and humidity. It’s important to follow manufacturer recommendations for curing time and conditions to ensure proper adhesion, bonding, and performance of the product.

Can sealants, adhesives, and primers be used in exterior or wet environments?

Yes, there are products specifically formulated for exterior or wet environments, such as waterproof sealants, marine adhesives, and moisture-resistant primers. It’s essential to choose products that are suitable for the specific conditions and environmental exposure of your project.

Can sealants, adhesives, and primers be painted over?

Yes, many sealants, adhesives, and primers are compatible with paints and coatings. However, it’s important to verify compatibility and follow manufacturer recommendations for surface preparation and application to ensure proper adhesion and performance of the paint or coating.
