Welcome to our annual Distributor Directory, a reference tool you can use year-round to quickly locate a distributor that best suits your needs. Distributor listings* are organized by region and include company contact information such as address, phone, fax, email, website, and key personnel. In addition, many listings include a description of the distributor’s product offerings, as well as information on the companies that the distributor represents. The online version, located at www.adhesivesmag.com/distributordirectory, includes extras like hotlinks and spec sheets for select companies.

Caulking sealants on the market today are typically formulated with a supplementary external plasticizer; this new technology offers excellent exterior durability and adhesion without plasticizer.
