Abstract

A sealant composition comprising a sealant, an adhesive resin, and a long chain ester, particularly dimerate and trimerate esters, is capable of unexpected adhesion to substrates such as ceramic substrates (e.g., concrete), glass substrates, metal substrates such as metal flat stock materials, polymeric substrates including substrates comprising natural and/or synthetic rubbers and substrates comprising thermoplastic polymeric materials, particularly for use in sealing around bathroom fixtures, in storage areas, vents, plumbing lines, flooring, wheel wells, and the like.
