[imported_steveo3002]

whats the deal with acrylic and polymer sealants



id like to know the pro`s and con`s , why would i choose one over the other?



do they tend to work with each other , i.e klasse then #21

A simple definition of a polymer, is a chain of repeating molecules,or structures.If the molecules are comprised of Acrylic compounds,then this would be described as being an Acrylic Polymer.



I am only aware of a small difference between the two,in the way that the Acrylic`s tend to cure faster on the surface,and the structure tends to be harder/more brittle,whilst still being flexible to some extent.



The Acrylic sealants were the first ` original` paint sealants,examples we all know well; Liquid Glass, Klasse,Autoglym etc.

But, which one looks better and which one last longer?

[wannafbody]

acryllics last longer than products that contain polydimethylsiloxane

Right on dude. Acrylic`s last longer but I`ve found polymers like blackfire, wolfgang give more shimmer and wetness.



I like acrylics first - JW followed by aquawax is my fav.
