Caulking industry

Benzoate esters are well known plasticisers used in latex caulks. New benzoate plasticisers to answer current needs for a globally available, environmentally acceptable, high performance plasticiser have been designed and developed. One of these new plasticisers has been specifically developed for the caulk industry. The demonstration data developed indicates that Benzoflex 2088 is compatible with common caulk polymers, is more efficient, imparts excellent adhesion and provides low plasticiser migration from caulk to paint characteristics. These plasticisers are the first of a series of new benzoates being developed for a variety of applications. 5 refs. USA... 

Special grades of silicone (called RTV or room temperature vulcanization) are used by the caulking industry. Silicone is also used by the adhesives industry. 

The RTV rubbers find use in the building industry for caulking and in the electrical industry for encapsulation. It also provides a useful casting material for craft work. Perhaps most important of all it provides a method for producing rubbery products with the simplest of equipment and can frequently solve a problem where only a small number of articles are required. 

Organic polymers are sometimes referred to as plastics (although, this should be confined to thermoplastic polymers), macromolecules or resins, though the latter is often used to describe raw polymeric material awaiting fabrication. Many polymers are used in various forms that are not associated with normal plastic materials. These include paints and coatings, elastomers (rubbers), adhesives, sealants (caulks), surfactants and also their use in various industrial applications, e.g., ion-exchange resins, membranes. 

Isobutylene is more reactive than n-butene and has several industrial uses. It undergoes dimerization and trimerization reactions when heated in the presence of sulfuric acid. Isobutylene dimer and trimers are use for alkylation. Polymerization of isobutene produces polyisobutenes. Polyisobutenes tend to be soft and tacky, and do not set completely when used. This makes polyisobutenes ideal for caulking, sealing, adhesive, and lubricant applications. Butyl rubber is a co-polymer of isobutylene and isoprene containing 98% isobutene and 2% isoprene. 

In addition to providing the properties of polyurethane chemistry, the authors reported that HNIPUs also exhibit the chemical resistance of epoxy binders. Potential uses of HNIPUs include commercial application in paints, varnishes, adhesives, caulking compounds, flooring/industrial coatings, foams, and composite materials. 

Lead (Pb) ranks fifth behind iron, copper, aluminum, and zinc in industrial production of metals. About half of the lead used in the U.S. goes for the manufacture of lead storage batteries. Other uses include solders, bearings, cable covers, ammunition, plumbing, pigments, and caulking.

Automotive uses besides tires include belts, hoses, friction materials, mud flaps, air deflectors, brake pedal covers, caulks, and coatings. Like tires, the industry would like to see more recycled content in these applications. A total of about 112 million pounds of ground rubber is consumed in these applications. ...

This invention is directed to a method for stabilising a composition which comprises a mixture of a halopiopargy 1 compound. The composition can be used broadly in industrial systems and more particularly with substrates such as paints, coatings, stucco, concrete, stone, cementaceous surfaces, wood, caulking, sealants, textiles, and the like.
