The role of a HYDRO BAN Sealant in construction is to prevent the passage of any kind of fluid through material surfaces, openings or surface joints. HYDRO BAN Sealants are used in such crevices or joints where other construction materials like concrete, timber or mortar can’t be used. The material for sealants is chosen in such a way that the structure, and especially the joint, strength, flexibility, and also resistance to corrosion. Earlier, substances like plant resins, mud, grass, and even reeds were used as sealants. Later, glazing putty began to be used for sealing window glass. From the 20^th century onwards, chemical substances like acrylics, butyl, and silicon polymers have been used. For the last 50-60 years, sealants have been very commonly manufactured using synthetic polymers.

Adhesives is a term that is often used interchangeably with sealants. But technically they are different. Adhesives are used not just to fill up openings but also to join materials by glueing them together. Some of the common uses of adhesive materials are in ceramic tiles, drywall lamination, flooring underlay, or timber jointing. Like sealants, adhesives too are made from a variety of materials. Some examples are polyvinyl acetate, epoxy resin, phenol formaldehyde etc.
