Achieve both infrastructure longevity and reduced maintenance costs simultaneously! Silicone sealing materials [*Article currently published! View from the link*]

Silicone sealants are high-performance but also expensive. Many civil engineering professionals have this impression, which has significantly impacted the initial construction costs of projects and has been a factor hindering their widespread adoption. ＼Do you have any of these concerns?／ 【1】Repeated repairs or updates due to the deterioration of sealants 【2】Want to use materials that can maintain flexibility and adaptability over a long period 【3】Want to advance material selection considering life cycle costs Leave these concerns to Dow and Toray's silicone sealants! With the aging of infrastructure, prioritizing longevity is essential, and it is necessary to consider the total cost over 40 years from the budgeting stage. While the initial cost of silicone materials may be high, it reduces the need for renovation work that used to occur every 5 to 10 years, meaning the total life cycle cost over 40 years can be lowered. In fact, cases where silicone is adopted for such reasons are increasing. ↓You can find articles on silicone sealants that achieve life cycle cost reduction at this link.
