Understanding Joint Sealants 

Technical Presentation Description: More now than ever before, sealants play an important role in building envelopes, but often do not receive the same consideration as other building envelope materials relative to specifying materials. The presentation will not discuss how to write a specification, but will discuss the applicable ASTM Standards for specifying and testing of sealant materials proposed for use on projects.

Considerations for the selection of sealant materials, some of which are unique to specific project requirements, can result in a successful sealant installation or failure. For sealant replacement projects, investigation of the existing conditions will provide information necessary to not only specify the correct sealant, but also the methods of preparing the substrates and considerations for the installation of the sealant.
