How to use this page
Three questions decide the product
Specify by where the joint sits, what it has to bond, and what it must survive — not by catalogue order. Most sealing failures come from choosing by colour or price, so the order below is the order a specification is actually written in.
By application
Six application groups
Each group carries the joint type it covers, the substrates it is specified on, and the exposure conditions it is rated for.
Facades & Glazing
Sealants and structural adhesives for curtain wall, skylight and exterior cladding, matched to substrate, joint movement and UV exposure.
- Substrates
- Aluminium · Glass · Stone · Coated metal
- Joint type
- Structural glazing, weatherproof
- Exposure
- Outdoor, UV, wind load, thermal movement
Windows, Doors & Joints
Sealing and bonding for window and door perimeters, metal frames and precast joints. Includes fenestration silicones and PU frame foams.
- Substrates
- PVC · Aluminium · Timber · Masonry · Concrete
- Joint type
- Perimeter sealing, frame cavity fill
- Exposure
- Outdoor, driving rain, daily thermal cycling
Metal Roofing & Flashing
Weatherproofing for metal sheet laps, roof joints, flashing and edge trim. Low-modulus and self-levelling grades for both horizontal and vertical work.
- Substrates
- Coated steel · Aluminium · Galvanised sheet
- Joint type
- Lap sealing, non-structural bonding
- Exposure
- Outdoor, ponding, high sheet movement
Flooring & Sports Surfaces
Adhesives for wood, PVC and resilient flooring, sports surfaces and acoustic systems. Low-VOC and phthalate-free options for indoor installation.
- Substrates
- Timber · SPC · PVC · Screed · Bamboo
- Joint type
- Full-bed adhesive, acoustic isolation
- Exposure
- Indoor, underfloor heating, high footfall
Interior & Wet Areas
Mould-resistant sealants and adhesives for kitchen, bath, sanitary and pool environments, selected for permanent moisture exposure.
- Substrates
- Porcelain · Glass · Stainless · Quartz · Glazed ceramic
- Joint type
- Movement joint, mould-resistant sealing
- Exposure
- Indoor, permanent humidity, cleaning agents
Industrial Bonding & Sealing
Bonding and sealing for construction panels, profiles and transport interiors. High-grab MS adhesives and high-temperature grades for assembly.
- Substrates
- Metal · Engineering plastics · Composite · Glass
- Joint type
- Structural and semi-structural bonding
- Exposure
- Vibration, thermal cycling, production-line cure
By substrate
Start from the material, not the catalogue
Find the row that matches your joint. If your material pair is not listed, send us the drawing — we will specify it rather than guess.

By requirement
When the condition is the deciding factor
These requirements override the application group. If a project carries one of them, start here instead.
Exhaust systems, industrial ovens, boilers, heat exchangers.
SR-19Water tanks, food processing areas, wall-to-floor junctions.
MS-701Super high-rise, bridges, tunnels, prefabricated structures.
MS-650·MS-635Commercial kitchens, food storage, sanitary installation.
MS-15Runway expansion joints, apron sealing, aircraft load zones.
SR-58Next step
Three ways to move this forward
Tell us the joint location and the two materials. We come back with a system recommendation, the matching TDS and SDS, and a sample quantity — a specification, not a catalogue link.
Systems listed are indicative of the INGADA range. Final selection depends on joint dimensions, substrate condition and local code — confirm against the current TDS before ordering. Outdoor systems are CE marked and tested to ISO 11600; indoor systems additionally carry French A+ indoor air classification where applicable.
