The evaluation for weather resistance as per polymer type of sealant for construction use

건축용 실란트 수지 종류별 내후성 평가

The various type of polymer such as silicone, modified silicone, polyurethane, etc are being used in domestic construction sealant market. Once sealant is installed in building, it should maintain their specific performances such as preventing moisture, rain, air, etc against environment conditions for several decades. In this study, weather resistance as per polymer type of sealant has been evaluated using QUV accelerated weathering tester. As a result, weather resistance of silicone is highest and modified silicone is lowest in the comparison of other type of polymer.
