Oily sealant and water - based sealant difference

Now there are many types of grout for tiles on the market, and oily sealant and water-based sealant are two common types at present. So what is the difference between oily sealant and water-based sealant?

1.Different ingredients

Waterborne sealant: made of polymer and pigment, with water molecules as the medium, can be hydrolyzed before curing, and the raw materials are natural, non-toxic to the environment.

Oily sealant: it is made of chemical materials and dyes. The oil forms a film on the surface to protect the internal materials from decomposition. However, a large number of chemical materials are added to help stabilize the properties, but it has a certain impact on the environment.

2.Different degrees of environmental protection

Water-based sealant: water-soluble natural raw material, environmentally friendly, suitable for all different Spaces, without irritating gas and harmful substances in the construction process.

Oily sealant: insoluble in water, which contains a lot of chemical materials, so affected by the composition, its environmental protection is worse than water, because of the irritating gas.

3.Cleaning varies in difficulty

Waterborne sealant: If it is accidentally stuck to hands, wash it off with water immediately before curing. If it has been cured, just use alcohol, vinegar or detergent to clean it.

Oily sealant: no matter whether sealant is cured or not, it is urgent to use alcohol, vinegar or detergent to remove it, and it is difficult to clean up, and there will be residues.

4.There are differences in construction environment

Waterborne sealant: the construction environment should be kept dry, and water stains or moisture are not allowed, otherwise the sealant is easy to dry, swell up or turn white.

Oil sealant: the construction environment can not have bright water, but the slightly wet environment can be constructed, and the long time wet environment is more suitable for the use of oil sealant.
