What is a sealant gun?

A sealant gun - sometimes referred to as a caulking gun, depending on the substance that’s being used - is a tool that is used to effectively fill in cracks in your windows, doors or other areas of the house with gaps or cracks.

How does it work?

First, you have to load the tube of sealant or caulk into the gun. Make sure that the nozzle is placed towards the front of the gun. Once this is properly done, you then proceed in cutting the tip of the tube according to the needed size. It may be necessary to use a pin to puncture the seal. You can now hold the gun along the crack or gap that you want to seal and squeeze the trigger to release the sealant or caulk.

Silicones for The Electronic Industry

Silicones can truly be considered as a versatile compound for it can be used in a variety of industries. In our previous posts, we have already discussed how silicones are considered to be of great help to the infrastructure and automotive industry. Today, we will discuss how silicone sealants are part of the great help in order to meet the demands in the electronic industry.

In the world that we are living in today, people should keep pace with the technology and one way of keeping up with the demands in the electronic industry is by using silicone sealants. Silicones, because of its composition, ensure that the sensitive electronic parts are working as they should be. Aside from that, silicone sealants can also provide the following to any electronics:

1. Resistance to temperature - Because of its composition, silicone sealants that are used to fill the gaps between spaces can be used even under the hottest temperature. Some silicone can still work well with above 150°C.
2. Adhesive - Silicone is self-adhesive. Therefore, it is ideal for many substrates.
3. Resistance to chemicals - Silicone sealants are not only resistant to aqueous solutions; they can also resist dilute acids, bases and polar solvents.
4. Resistance to radiation - Silicones have has about ten times higher permeability than other sealants or rubbers. It can withstand high doses of electromagnetic radiation.
5. Environmental advantage - Compared to other compounds, silicones have lower order of toxicity when it is cured.

Silicones are used to in circuit-boards in computers and in cell phones as well. The compound is an essential component in order to provide insulation for electronics that easily heat up. Furthermore, electronic-grade silicone sealants that serve as adhesives provide durable function for insulation to electronics. They are excellent barriers against natural contaminants such as moist and rust. Silicone sealant also absorbs the stress, shock and vibration that are caused by both temperature and humidity. To top it all, it is also good to take note that silicones improve the appearance of the electronics during reconstructions.
