About Sealant Flexibility
More
Oil-Resistant Sealants
Make tough, flexible, oil-resistant seals. These sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). Note: These sealants are not for use on parts that come into contact with gasoline.
Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.
Certificates with a traceable lot number and product shelf life are available for these products. Download certificates from ORDER HISTORY after your order ships.

Chemical-Resistant Sealants
Designed to withstand extreme environments, these fluoroelastomer sealants have excellent resistance to harsh chemicals. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.
Viton® fluoroelastomer sealants resist sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, gasoline, fuels, and crude oil.
Aflas fluoroelastomer sealants stand up to hydroxides, industrial cleaning fluids, and other pH-basic chemicals in applications where traditional rubber caulk is ineffective.

Self-Leveling Chemical-Resistant Sealants
Designed to withstand extreme environments, these fluoroelastomer sealants have excellent resistance to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, gasoline, and oil. Thinner than non-sagging sealants, these flow easily into cracks and have a smooth finish.
Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.
Sealants that cannot be sold to the regions listed exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
