Coatings & Construction Market Segments

Adhesives are substances used to bind one surface to another and provide separation resistance. Several kinds of efficient, effective industrial adhesives are on the market today to be used for various industries and applications.

A chemical coating is a thin layer or paint made with polymers that is used to improve the durability and performance of steel, wood, concrete, and other building materials at the industrial or commercial level. An increased focus on longer lifetimes of coatings and coated items saves time and costs while also reducing raw material consumption and air emissions during the re-coating process. This has led to the development of higher-quality, more sustainable prefabricated and custom-built structures.

The term “elastomer” is derived from “elastic polymer,” frequently interchanged with the term “rubber.” An elastomer is a polymer that has extremely weak inter-molecular forces and, generally, a low Young’s modulus. It is viscoelastic, which means it has both elasticity and viscosity. Each one of the monomers that have to link in order to form the polymer are typically made of hydrogen, carbon, silicon or oxygen.

Sealants are applied to block any passage fluids might otherwise have through surfaces, openings or joints in materials. They can have a variety of attributes that apply with a higher success rate to different types of projects. For instance, they can be rigid or flexible, strong or weak, and temporary or permanent.
