Sealants Vs. Adhesives and the Additives That Complement Them
Even though industrial adhesives and sealants share many characteristics, they aren’t structurally and chemically identical, and can’t always be used interchangeably.

The barrier provided by the sealant prevents the penetration of many different elements, like fire, noise, air and liquid, depending on the sealant’s nature. Sealants are usually used to close the gaps that adhesives can’t.
