CAULKS AND SEALANTS

Incorporation of polybutenes in a variety of molecular weights provides property improvements to caulk and sealant applications.

Use of Soltex Polybutene in caulk and sealant applications offer the following advantages:

• Plasticizer effect increases sealant flexibility
• Tackiness results in a soft, easily extruded sealant
• Reduced use of solvents provides environmental benefits
• Improves adhesion and aging
• Low moisture transmission
• Lower oil-to-filler ratios
• Can be extruded onto tape
• Minimizes shrinkage after application
• Functions in a caulk as a primary vehicle to bind and wet the fillers, thereby improving the flow characteristics
