1.Don't be greedy for cheap. Most users still put cheap products in the first place, but they don't know that the use of low-priced sealant not only affects the quality and service life of the project, but more importantly, it is very easy to cause rework, delay the construction period, and even cause liability accidents. In order to win huge profits, unscrupulous traders can play tricks on packaging, use thick packaging bottles to reduce the weight of sealant, and replace brand sealant with inferior sealant. The huge profits they get are based on the price. A piece of low-grade silicone sealant of the same weight can be several times cheaper than brand silicone sealant, but the viscosity and tensile force of brand silicone sealant are 3 to 20 times stronger than low-grade silicone sealant, and the service life is 10 to 50 times longer. Therefore, you must not be greedy for cheap, so as not to affect the life of the interior decoration.
2. Understand the difference in performance. Some people bought silicone sealant without knowing the product knowledge, and found many problems in the process of using it. The places where silicone sealant is generally used in home decoration are: toilets, vanity mirrors in bathrooms, gaps between sinks and walls, etc. silicone sealant with different properties should be used in these places. The silicone sealant commonly used in home decoration is divided into two types according to its performance: neutral silicone sealant and acid silicone sealant. Neutral silicone sealant has relatively weak bonding force, and is generally used on the back of bathroom mirrors where strong bonding force is not required. Neutral silicone sealant is widely used in home decoration, mainly because it will not corrode objects, while acid silicone sealant is generally used where it needs to be bonded, and the bonding force is very strong.
3. Pay attention to mildew prevention. This is very important. For example, a lot of silicone sealant is used in the bathroom. The bathroom is already very humid and prone to mold. It will be ugly after a long time, so the silicone sealant must have anti-mildew effect. Generally, it will be stated on the bottle of silicone sealant that some silicone sealant with poor quality does not have such a function at all, so you must recognize it when buying.
4. Look at the packaging. Take a look at whether the date of manufacture, purpose, instructions for use, precautions, etc. are clearly and completely stated. Second, to check whether the net content is accurate, the manufacturer must indicate the specification, model and net content (in grams or milliliters) on the packaging bottle.
5. Check the quality. First smell the smell, second compare the gloss, third check the particles, fourth check the bubbles, fifth check the curing effect, and sixth check the tensile force and viscosity.
