Replace All Silicone Sealants with One Revolutionary Sealant

Posted by ct1ltd on August 28th, 2015

Stubborn leaks are the bane of homeowners. If you have tried every possible product to seal holes and prevent leaks to no avail, it maybe high time to try a different bread of sealant that can patch up holes and leaks in different parts of your home. The CT1 sealant is taking the market by storm because of its unique hybrid polymer formulation that eliminates solvents within its make-up. This means the sealant will never shrink and therefore effectively seal damages for longer.

If you are in the market for an efficient sealant for your leaking roof and piping, this hybrid polymer sealant is worth a try. What makes the CT1 such an effective roofing and piping remedy? It all boils down to the causes of leakages and the inefficiency of some products to fix them.

Leaks often plague roofs and plumbing systems because of the inevitable movement in their lead flashing where the roofing adhesive has failed. Corroded nails in the shingles, especially in old roofs, as well as developing cracks can also be major causes of leaking roofs. Instead of replacing your entire roof altogether, the initial remedy to rectify the problem is applying some form of sealant to the damage. Conventional types of sealants are either bitumen or silicone-based. While they work temporarily, these types of roof sealants may not be as effective in the long term for the following reasons:

•    The solvent in silicone roof sealants eventually evaporates, resulting in its shrinkage. This will lead to continued leaking when shrinkage reaches the damage. Silicone sealants are therefore merely a temporary solution to your leaking roof.

•    Exposure to the elements also hardens silicone roof sealants. It can also develop cracks, which make the roof leak again.

•    Likewise, bitumen roof sealants are subject to the same draw backs but in respect to extreme cracking and hardening.

The CT1 sealant circumvents these disadvantages and failings because it does not have any solvent in its make-up, thus preventing the substance from shrinking. It seals and creates and a formidable bond between different types of materials, whether it be lead, wood, roof felt, tile, plastics, and many other kinds of construction implements. This hybrid polymer solvent can also be applied onto wet surfaces, which is an ideal feature when tackling leaking roofs and plumbing systems. It offers extreme resistance to adverse elements and has excellent bonding properties.
