The difference between silicone adhesive and glass adhesive

Silicone adhesive and glass adhesive are both common sealants, and there are many similarities in their application fields. So, what are the differences between silicone adhesive and glass adhesive? Let's give you a detailed explanation.

Silicone adhesive is a type of ointment that, once in contact with moisture in the air, solidifies into a tough rubber like material. It is mainly divided into deacetic acid type, dealcohol type, deammonia type, and depropylation type. Glass adhesive is a commonly used adhesive in households, mainly composed of sodium silicate, acetic acid, and organic silicone.

Glass adhesive is divided into two types based on its properties: neutral glass adhesive and acidic glass adhesive. Generally used for home decoration bonding. The places where glass glue is commonly used in home decoration include: the blind area on the back of the wooden line, sanitary ware, toilet, makeup mirrors in the bathroom, the gap between the sink and the wall, and so on. Different performance glass glue should be used in these places. Neutral sealant can be divided into stone sealant, mold proof sealant, fire resistant sealant, pipeline sealant, etc. Glass adhesive cannot flow due to its own weight, so it can be used for joints that pass through the roof or side walls without sinking, collapsing, or flowing away.

When the silicone adhesive is not cured, it can be wiped with a clean tissue dipped in acetone or xylene or 120 solvent oil. Before the glass adhesive is cured, it can be wiped off with a cloth or paper towel. After curing, it must be scraped off with a scraper or wiped with solvents such as xylene and acetone.

The above is the difference between silicone adhesive and glass adhesive that we have introduced. When purchasing, it is important to distinguish between these two sealing materials and choose the appropriate sealing material based on the different usage environment to achieve better usage results
