‘Sealants’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release New-look packaging for Jewson Own Brand from Jewson, which we summarised at the time by saying "New packaging, which features Jewson customer Shane Wood, has been developed to clearly convey the quality of the product inside.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Ultracrete can reduce road scheme costs from Instarmac: "Utility firms could face hefty charges for digging up some of the UK's busiest roads if the Government's latest proposal to impose a lane rental scheme goes ahead, according to a recent BBC report.".

In August 2011, we covered the news from Emseal Joint Systems - take a look at Dual-seal watertight expansion joint from Emseal which says: "Emseal Joint Systems is offering its DSM System watertight expansion joint built to handle pedestrian and vehicular traffic without a coverplate in sizes up to 100mm.".

Take a look also at the news release from Sika, Sika brings Android app to market, as well as Tremco sealants used in modular steel build from Tremco illbruck, and Sika launches online sealant specification tool from Sika.
