A sealant is viscous material that has little or no flow characteristics and which stay where they are applied; or they can be thin and runny so as to allow it to penetrate the substrate by means of capillary action. Sealants are designed primarily to close gaps between surfaces and to prevent things like dust, water, or debris from getting in to a given space. With the emergence of the chemical industry and synthetic polymers, the range of adhesive and sealant formulations exploded.
