Selecting the right industrial sealant is essential to guarantee safety, durability and efficiency in any assembly or repair. Using the wrong product can lead to leaks, adhesion failures or premature deterioration. In this article, we explain how to choose the most suitable sealant and why working with Magmont’s solutions ensures reliable results.

Why choosing the right industrial sealant matters

An industrial sealant acts as a protective barrier, preventing the passage of liquids, gases or vibrations. It also improves the stability of the assembly and extends its lifespan. Choosing a sealant based solely on price or availability is a common mistake—factors such as materials, temperature and chemical exposure are crucial.

Most common types of industrial sealants

Silicone sealants

Highly flexible and resistant to humidity and high temperatures. Ideal for thermal systems and areas exposed to water.

Polyurethane sealants

Excellent adhesion and mechanical resistance. Common in automotive, metal structures and vibrating assemblies.

Hybrid adhesives and sealants

Combine flexibility with strong adhesion on multiple surfaces. Perfect when both sealing and bonding strength are required.

Anaerobic sealants

Designed for metal surfaces and threaded assemblies. Prevent leaks and loosening caused by vibration.

How to choose the right industrial sealant

Material type

Not all sealants work equally on metal, plastic, glass or porous surfaces.

Working conditions

Temperature, UV exposure, humidity and the presence of oils or chemicals directly affect sealant performance.

Application purpose

Pressurized systems require resistant sealants, while aesthetic or light assembly jobs may need more flexible products.

Curing time

In production environments, fast-curing solutions help minimise downtime.
