In Korea, silicone type sealant is widely used for construction site. Before the silicone type, urethane type is one of the main type sealants. However, the weathering property is less than the silicone type, the urethane type is replace by the silicone one. Still the urethane type is used for the inside of the buildings for the perimeter of the window. The silicone type sealants are better in weathering property than those of the urethane type sealants. Except the weathering property urethane type sealant has its own advantage like movement property, low cost and so forth. There are many research results for the outdoor weathering of the sealants, but in Korea there are no results for the outdoor weathering for construction sealants. This research is focused on the outdoor weathering of the urethane sealants, how to measure the degradation, and compare the products which used in Korea. The outdoor weathering test is usually time consuming, thus we designed specialized device for accelerating the result.

Specimens were cured by using a 1 mm (thickness) ${\times}$5 mm (diameter) teflon mold, and were immersed in artificial saliva and in 75% ethanol for 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days in order to quantify and to identify toxic components and to determine any degra dation byproducts of Bis-GMA that might be released from five commercially available resin-based dental sealants. In artificial saliva, the only released component was triethylene glycol dimethacylate (TEGDMA). In 75% ethanol, TEGDMA, 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy) phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) were released highly at the initial stage, indicating that the amount of component released is not linearly correlated with the immersion time. The amount of released TEGDMA was found to be much higher in 75% ethanol than in artificial saliva. Importantly, bisphenol-A (BPA) was detected from all the uncured sealants tested, suggesting that all the sealants tested contain BPA as a contaminant.
