Polysulfides
Polysulfides are chemical compounds that primarily comprise chains of sulfur atoms. These compounds exhibit various functional properties due to which they are chiefly consumed in building & construction, marine, aerospace, glass insulation, and polymer processing industries. Polysulfides possess high flexibility, high tensile strength, impermeability, chemical and weather resistance, and heat insulation. Hence, they are favorably used in coating and sealing applications.
