Opis

Sealants and adhesives are critical components of modern high-rise buildings and other constructed works. This revised text covers numerous improvements in the technology of silicones and urethanes that keep the skin on high-rise buildings, sealants and gaskets used on highways and bridges, special compounds used on runway and bridge joints, and waterproofing and moisture protection. There are also new chapters on insulating glass sealants and membrane waterproofing, and guideline specifications for sealants, fire stops, membranes and coatings.
