2. How to choose the right sealant?
(1) Sealing the baseboards and decorative lines
The low-movement joints around bricks, concrete, gypsum boards, doors, windows, and tiles have low requirements for bonding strength and mainly play the role of sealing and beautification. Therefore, it is recommended to use Tengyu-TA101 All Purpose Caulk Sealant
It is a flexible, one-component, acrylic based sealant and gap filler, where low demand of elongation
- Excellent adhesion to most building materials.
- Water clean-up of uncured sealant.
- Sandable once fully curedif required to give smooth surface finish.
- Can be paintedover using water based paints.
- Non-toxic.Low VOC.
(2) Sealing of pipes and other joints
HVAC systems are mostly metal pipes and flanges, which need to have permanent flexibility, excellent water resistance and superior sealing strength, and no corrosion to the substrate. Therefore, it is recommended to use Tengyu-TA102 Water Based Duct Sealant in the selection of sealants
It is a grey duct sealant for medium and high-pressure duct systems.
- Low VOC and low Odor
- Excellent workability.
- Non-corrosive towards metals.

- High solid content.
- Low shrinkage
(3) Sealing of door and window joints
The joints between doors, windows and walls require tough, durable and waterproof acrylic sealants. It is resistant to UV rays and high and low temperatures. Therefore, it is recommended to use Tengyu-TA108 Siliconized Acrylic Sealant for sealant selection.
Latex caulk plus silicone is based on acrylic emulsion. It is further modified with special additives to optimize resistance to oxidation, UV degradation, and cold temperature.
- Quick completion of project.
- Ultra low VOC content.
- Water-based adhesive.
- Easy cleanup with water (uncured adhesive).
- Mold and mildew resistant.
