Pavement Sealants


Silicone Runway Joint Sealants, Bridge Joint Sealants, and Highway Joint Sealants


Silicones Handle the Movement

To meet the demands of these sealing applications you need a runway joint sealant, bridge joint sealant, or a highway joint sealant that must:

  • Withstand severe horizontal and vertical concrete expansion joint movements
  • Handle temperature and weather extremes
  • Install easily with a short downtime
  • Offer a long service life

Silicone pavement sealants from Dow Corning cure to form a permanently flexible, low- to ultra-low-modulus silicone rubber seal. They can withstand a high degree of movement (+100/-50 percent of the original joint width) with excellent recovery, making them ideal for sealing joints under continuous stress.

Choose from convenient, one-part silicone products for new and old concrete pavement joints and asphalt and asphalt-to-concrete joints, and two-part, fast-curing bridge joint sealant with adhesion to concrete, metal and polymeric concrete substrates.  Dow Corning® silicone pavement sealants are also available in self-leveling formulations for easy application.
