Trending now
Spray sealants provide multi-purpose coating solutions to protect various objects from exposure, moisture, corrosion and other damage. They are also a great alternative to traditional sealants and caulking because they are so convenient and easy to apply. Sealant sprays have several applications, from waterproofing your windows to providing flame-proof chimney protection. Read on to learn more about why these sprays are a facilities and maintenance essential and a must for any do-it-yourself home or office improvement project.
What Are Spray Sealants?
Spray sealants function the same as caulking or any other adhesive sealant, but they come in an easy-to-use and convenient spray bottle. These adhesives cling to a variety of surfaces, like concrete, wood and metal. Once the sealant spray is applied or sprayed onto an object, it forms a shield. This protects objects from exposure to extreme temperatures, water damage and other environmental hazards that eventually wear down and degrade many items and materials.
What Types of Spray Sealant Are There?
Spray sealants are ideal for many DIY projects and general facilities maintenance. Staples has a great selection of sprays to fit a variety of needs and safeguard many of your valuable items from damage. Learn more below about what types of sprays there are and find out which one is a good fit for your next repair.
Rubber
Rubber sealant sprays provide a versatile and durable adhesive solution. The spray works by coating an object in what is essentially liquid rubber. After that, the substance begins to seep into the cracks and, once it dries, it forms a rubberized barrier that protects the surface from the sun, water and moisture. This spray sealant is perfect for giving your work tools rubber grip handles or waterproofing seals for landscaping and roofing. Since you can go over rubber with most paints, it can also be used for everything from customizing your car to various arts and crafts projects.
Flame Resistant Foam
Fire-resistant foam sprays are perfect for repairing things like chimneys where fire has the potential to spread quickly. Flame retardant sealant sprays are a good industrial maintenance option because they are easy to identify by color and meet key building code requirements. They are self-extinguishing and function by eliminating air flow to cut off oxygen to where flames can spread most quickly.
Multi-Purpose Latex Foam
Latex foam sealant sprays utilize an innovative latex polymer that provides moisture resistance and is compatible with latex paints once cured. Latex sprays are perfect for weatherproofing and repairing windows because they help reduce energy costs and provide an additional layer of pest control. The sealant remains soft and flexible when dry, so it will not distort or damage your window and door frames.
