What are putties and sealants?

Putties and sealants are both types of materials used in various applications to fill gaps, seal joints, and create airtight or watertight seals. While they serve similar purposes, there are some differences in their properties and applications.
Putty is a soft and pliable material with a dough like consistency. It is typically a combination of a binder such as linseed oil, epoxy, or clay and a filler material such as chalk, calcium carbonate, or talc. Putty is used to fill gaps, cracks, and holes in surfaces, creating a smooth and even finish. It is commonly used in construction, woodworking, and automotive repairs.

Types of putty:
Glazing Putty: Used to fill gaps and seal windows, glazing putty is commonly used in window pane installation.
Wood Filler Putty: Used to repair cracks, holes, and imperfections in wood surfaces before painting or staining.
Metal Putty: Used for repairing metal surfaces, especially in automotive applications, to fill dents or imperfections.
Polyester Putty: Used in automotive body repair to fill larger dents and create smooth surfaces before painting.

A sealant is a substance used to create a tight seal between surfaces or joints, preventing the passage of air, water, dust, or other substances. Unlike putty, sealants can come in various forms, including liquid, paste, or tape. Sealants are flexible and capable of accommodating movement between the joined surfaces. They are commonly used in construction, plumbing, automotive, and aerospace industries. You can buy them from Soudal, Masso, Wolfcraft, and Fischer Group.

Types of sealants:
Silicone Sealant: Resistant to water and weathering, silicone sealants are often used for sealing joints in kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior areas.
Polyurethane Sealant: Known for their strong adhesive properties, polyurethane sealants are used in construction and automotive applications for sealing joints subject to heavy stress.
Adhesive sealant: can hold two surfaces together strongly and permanently. Adhesive sealants are designed to close the gaps between surfaces and prevent them from water and dirt.
In summary, putties are used for filling gaps and repairing imperfections in surfaces, while sealants are used to create watertight, airtight, or dust tight seals between joints and surfaces. Both putties and sealants are essential for various DIY, construction, and repair projects.
