adhesives & sealants

Our core product lines for adhesives & sealants optimize a wide variety of applications.

Adhesives and sealants provide effective ways to bond or seal various materials or substrates. These products are designed to ensure permanent bonds between different types of materials, such as metal or ceramic, in a variety of industries. These bonds offer secure attachments in building and construction, electronics, industrial, packaging, and other industries. The use of adhesives and sealants provides an alternative to mechanical fastening products. Gantrade supplies base-resins, monomers, and intermediates used for adhesives and sealant products to businesses in the United States, Asia, and Europe.

Intermediates and Resins For Adhesives and Sealants

Gantrade has built an extensive portfolio of intermediates and resins used for adhesives and sealants. These serve as the building blocks for producing sealant and adhesive products that can be used in several industries. This selection of resins and intermediates is suitable for solvent-based and waterborne adhesives.

What Are Adhesives and Sealants?

Adhesives are substances that securely join or hold two or more surfaces together. These substances are designed to bond these surfaces together permanently rather than temporarily. Adhesives have a high degree of tensile strength and shear strength, allowing them to withstand exposure to high pressure and extreme conditions.

Sealants refer to substances that are applied to two or more surfaces in order to create a barrier. These substances fill in gaps between surfaces for protective purposes. Although sealants typically have a lower degree of strength than adhesives, they provide both flexibility and protection.

What Are They Used For?

Adhesives are used to create a permanent bond between substrates so that mechanical fastening is not needed. These secure bonds have high amounts of durability that vary depending on the applications they are used for. Several industries make use of adhesives, including packaging, construction material assembly, transportation, window glazing, and HVAC production.

Sealants are used to form a protective barrier that lowers the risk of damage and deterioration. These products fill in open spaces or gaps between substrates. Sealants are used in many industries, including consumer goods, aerospace, automotive, and electronics. Different types of sealants include acrylic-based, urethane-based, and silicone-based.
