Preformed tapes are available in rolls; they are commonly used in window glazing, door jambs, and gypsum drywall. Caulks are dough-like materials and are the first generation of sealing compounds. Glazing putty is an example of the earliest caulks used in buildings. It consists of nearly 12% linseed oil and 88% chalk that hardens as it cures, leading to cracking, loss of elasticity and hence loss of sealing ability. It is rarely used today. Elastomeric sealants are synthetic materials (polymers) and are the ones most commonly used in contemporary construction. The 5 commonly used synthetic sealants are: Polyisobutylene, Acrylics, Polyurethane, Polysulfide, and Silicone.
