Visitors to the Hodgson Sealants stand (S59) at this year\u2019s FIT Show will be able to see some of the company\u2019s market-leading range of sealants specially formulated and manufactured for the glazing industry for both fabricators and installers. As well as exciting new colours for its Silfix\u00ae U8 and the ever-popular Silfix\u00ae LMN, we will also be spotlighting our new HY-SPEC\u00ae 25 Hybrid sealant. The company will also be showcasing its aluminium foil-packed sealants to help installers and fabricators hit their sustainability targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HY-SPEC\u00ae 25, is a highly elastic sealant that is perfect for connection joints, expansion joints, glazing applications, composite panels and facades. It works particularly well where high movement occurs, especially between dissimilar materials such as in the perimeter sealing of uPVC frames, inside or out without cracking or shrinking. It over paints beautifully with water-based paints and wood stain and, as with all Hodgson glazing sealants, HY-SPEC\u00ae 25 meets the requirements of BS 8213-4 for the installation of windows and doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response to a growing market trend for wood and neutral coloured PVC-U window profiles, we have launched new colour options to our market-leading Silfix\u00ae LMN and U8 ranges. Silfix\u00ae LMN will now be available in Teak\/Rosewood and Toffee\/Caramel while Silfix\u00ae U8 will now be produced in Portland Stone, Mid Grey and Magnolia. Silfix\u00ae U8 is a low modulus, neutral cure, solvent free, alkoxy silicone sealant that is approved for a variety of fa\u00e7ade and glazing applications and works well even in cold conditions. Silfix\u00ae LMN is perfect for perimeter sealing around window and door frames and has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of building substrates. These new colours will match window and fa\u00e7ade styles popular today, especially in rural areas and on older properties where the more usual brilliant white window profiles are deemed too harsh, especially against sensitive substrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our foil packed products on show at the NEC, have a number of environmental and financial benefits over traditional plastic cartridges. An empty Hodgson sausage pack is more than eight times less volume than a spent cartridge and up to 60% lighter, offering significant savings on skip hire charges, landfill charges, and disposal costs and helping to meet the criteria of the new Packaging Levy. Just as easy to use as ordinary plastic cartridges our most popular glazing sealants are now available in sausage packs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
