Polysulfide Sealants and Adhesives

  • Chapter
Handbook of Adhesives

Abstract

The term polysulfide polymers referred at one time exclusively to the high-sulfur-containing polymers as manufactured by the Thiokol Chemical Corp. From 1928 to 1960 they were the only high-sulfur polymers available. The solid polysulfide polymers contained 37–82% bound sulfur, while the liquid polymers contain approximately 37%, which gives them their unique chemical properties.
