To also help when purchasing you might think that Adhesives and Sealants simply go hand in hand. They do at times work together but there are times where they are used in different scenarios. The main differences between an adhesive or a sealant is strength. When a sealant is used the space becomes air and water tight. When using adhesives, they are primarily used to bond surfaces together.

Sealants are used to seal joints and assemblies as well as fill any gaps between objects or as an underlying substance or layer. The sealant needs to provide a certain amount of adhesion so the seal remains bonded, most importantly in different environmental conditions. So, requirements for sealants include weather, UV and ozone resistance.

It is worth bearing in mind that the majority of sealants sold today cure at the rate of 2-3mm per 24 hours. So they won’t last forever in the tube.
