While silicone caulks are versatile and can be used for many applications, certain ones are better for specific tasks and materials.
-
In case of high temperatures
For applications exposed to high temperatures, look for a high-temperature silicone adhesive caulk. For a tough, watertight, mildew-resistant seal, we recommend using Loctite 100% Silicone. It’s a tough, waterproof, and UV-resistant adhesive that withstands temperatures from -65°F to 300°F, making it a perfect choice for repairs in humid or hot areas, such as plumbing, engines, or HVAC systems, as well as some industrial purposes, such as sealing various gaskets, cable insulation, and ductwork. -
In case of moisture
Silicone sealants are terrific for bonds exposed to water or atmospheric moisture. For a quick fix when sealing leaks, placing tiles, mending glassware, or any job that might get wet, try Loctite Plumber and Marine Clear Adhesive. It can be applied thickly but won’t run, creating watertight seals when bonding aluminum, brick, cardboard, ceramic, fabric, fiberglass, glass, leather, most plastics, rubber, steel, and wood. -
For construction projects
For construction projects such as sealing gaps or cracks around windows, door frames, baseboards, walls, and molding, a caulk that combines acrylic and silicone is a smart choice. Loctite Polyseamseal Acrylic Caulk with Silicone bonds to wood, drywall, plaster, metals, brick, concrete, and masonry and can be painted within half an hour if you are using latex paint. -
For diverse projects
If you have multiple projects and are looking for a silicone adhesive caulk that does it all, try a multipurpose adhesive and sealant like Loctite Clear Silicone. It can be used on aluminum, ceramic, glass, metal, wood, plastic, porcelain, granite, and many more common surfaces, making it an easy choice for household repairs.
Silicone sealant bonds securely to glass and metal, making it perfect for weatherproof holds.
