A sealant is typically used to provide a barrier of protection for a wide variety of materials. It is often used in construction projects to seal or block between building materials. A sealant is often used when it is important to prevent moisture from being transferred between surfaces and/or small openings. Similarly, a sealant can be used to protect asphalt and prevent water and dirt from getting underneath your driveway or sidewalk and causing cracks, holes or other damage.
