Sealants

Sealants are critical in construction, preventing water and air infiltration. Kraton HSBC polymers for sealants are commonly used for their versatility and durability. They are formulated with resins, fillers, and additives and can withstand weather and temperature changes. They can be applied with or without solvents, and handheld caulking guns are commonly used. With their exceptional strength and long-lasting performance, Kraton polymer-based sealants are trusted by contractors for exterior applications.

Pre-Colored Sealant

Kraton HSBC polymers for sealants can be pre-colored. Due to the non-reactive nature of HSBC chemistry, pre-colored sealants can be precision-color matched with the substrate to hide seams and gaps between dissimilar materials. The long shelf life of HSBC sealants allows for easier manufacturing and inventory management.
