Polysulfide is a semi-finished product used in sealants for insulating glass and in the aircraft and construction industries. Thioplast®, a liquid polysulfide polymer, is a key ingredient in the manufacturing of rubber-like sealants that show excellent resistance to weathering, water, oils, fats, fuels and numerous chemicals and solvents. Thioplast is therefore ideally suited for the production of sealing compounds and protective coatings for a variety of applications in the construction, aircraft and marine industry. Thioplast sealants are mainly used in the manufacture of insulating glass.
