The durability of building sealant systems in the tropical environment

The earliest sealants, or as they were more commonly known, caulks, were used to fill cracks and to provide waterproof joints. Advanced methods of constructing building facades, using lighter materials, introduced movement joints that required flexible and more durable sealants. This, saw the develo...
