2. Weatherstripping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherstripping

   Weatherstripping around openings – especially doors and windows – is used in buildings to keep out weather, increase interior comfort, lower utility bills, [2] and reduce noise. Builder weatherstripping can be made from felt; [ 3 ] vinyl, rubber, or poly foam; [ 2 ] [ 3 ] EPDM cellular rubber and vinyl tubing; [ 4 ] and metals such as brass ...

3. Sealant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

   Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially if acrylic latex or polyurethane based) [2] and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission. Sealants may be weak or ...

   The units are then enveloped on the edge side using either polysulfide or silicone sealant or similar material as secondary sealant which restraints movements of the rubbery-plastic primary sealant. The desiccant will remove traces of humidity from the air space such that no condensation appears on the inside faces during cold weather.

5. Caulk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caulk

   Open-cell foam is porous so it will let gasses through which could otherwise cause blistering of the caulk or sealant. Additionally, open-cell backer rod allows air to get to the back side of the caulk or sealant which accelerates curing when used with air-cured sealants such as silicone. Open-cell rod is more compressible than closed-cell foam ...

   WKT is an elastic and non-aging sealant. It is a silicone rubber and one of the first fully synthetic sealants for the commercial marine industry [ third-party source needed ] . The active ingredient in WKT sealing compound is polydimethylsiloxane .

7. Adhesive bonding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bonding

   After evaporation of the solvent, a solid compound is formed. Chemical bonds are also important in certain adhesive / substrate combinations, for example when bonding glass using silicone adhesives, wood using polyurethane adhesives and aluminium using epoxy adhesives. Chemical bonding leads to significantly higher adhesion than physical bonding.
