Sealants perform a very important function, must be inspected closely andregularly maintained. We incorporate many different types of sealants, includingbutyl/putty, black butyl-encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and colored), roof sealant andfoam. In general, sealants do not have “set” lifetimes. Varying environmental factors affectthe pliability and adhesiveness of sealants. Sealants can be affected by ultravioletexposure, air pollution, extreme temperatures and exposure to other elements.
