Architectural caulk

Vegetable oils are used as the binder for putties, elastic glazing compounds, and architectural caulking compounds. 

Note that glazing is acrylic plastic to comply with the AMC Safety Manual requirements. Screws for attachment of wood door frames and vision panel stops are countersunk and caulked. Joints not taped are sealed with caulking. It should be noted here that Sunflower AAP has had major problems with exterior wood doors exposed to the weather. A recurring problem has been the delamination of wood door materials. This may require a change to a more weather-resistant door material such as fiberglass reinforced plastic. Details for doors of this material are included in the standard architectural details. 

Alkyds are used for finishing metal and wood products but not to the degree previously used. Their durability to interior exposure is good, but their durability to exterior exposure is only fair. Because of their formulating flexibility, they are used in fillers, sealers, and caulks for wood finishing. They are still used for finishing by the machine tool and other industries. Alkyd-modified acrylic latex paints are excellent architectural finishes.

Although most PVC latex is produced by emulsion polymerization, a group of PVC/acrylic products, emulsions of solution copolymers, is supplied by Dow under the trade name Ucar Vinyl Acrylic Latex. Grades include Ucar Latex 300, 301, 357, and 367, with Tg of 2, 2-3, 12, and 10 °C, respectively. These grades are used in paint, industrial and architectural coatings. Ucar 162, with a Tg of 3 °C, is pointed at caulking compounds. Ucar 7659, with a Tg of 12 °C, is used in strippable coatings.
