June 15, 2011
ASI Silicone for Clothing Material!
American Sealants Inc. has advanced in the exploration of silicone adhesion and promotion to straps, clothes, and other forms of clothing. The uses for this application are endless. We have worked with applications where the silicone will be placed on bras, pants, straps, socks, oven mittens, etc. The silicone is used to provide additional grip and provide other benefits.
Challenges ASI has faced when producing a silicone material for clothing?
We have encountered a number of different requirements when working with the development of our materials. A problem we often see is that the material will not stretch with the fabric. We have produced a silicone that will stretch with the fabric due to its elongation properties. Another problem often encountered is the silicone needs to cure quickly after it is applied. Based on the proper time needed for your specific production needs ASI can recommend a silicone so that cure time is not an issue in your production setting. The ASI silicone for clothing materials will also bead into the fabric. Therefore it will last as long as the fabric and will not peel off like other silicones.
Why Choose ASI silicone for clothing Applications?
ASI has the technical knowledge and testing facilities to find the right solution for each application. We are a service oriented company and will work with the customer to develop efficient supply systems. Here at ASI we use quality to separate ourselves from our competitors and it is guaranteed to show in our products, packaging, and our people.

May 10, 2011ASI Window Sealant AAMA Approved!!
American Sealants Inc. has just received three new AAMA approvals. The following are the new AAMA approval listings; 802.3-10, 803.3-10, 805.2-10. ASI Window Sealant has proven durability, bonding capability, consistency, and it is AAMA approved. ASI Window Sealant is available in a variety of different colors including, white, flat white, blue white, bronze, cocoa, clear, beige, canvas, terratone, sandstone renewal, and sandstone. We also have custom color matching capabilities. Our window caulk is 100% silicone. It will not shrivel like other products on the market and dry out which leads to cracking. Instead, because it is 100% silicone, what you see when you apply is what you will get. We also add quality in the way we fill our window caulk cartridges. We do not simply fill a cartridge and package it, instead there are a system of quality control points in which we check for errors in the product. This is why you will not have air bubbles when you are caulking with ASI Window Sealant. These are just a few reasons why you should trust and use ASI Window Sealant for your next job!

ASI Receives Packaging Praise
February 11, 2011
Dear ASI,
I appreciate good design, but often some of the best appears in areas too insignificant to be noticed. This is the case for the packaging design of the 2.8 oz. tube for #388 non-corrosive sealant.
We use it inside as shell enclosure for a UHF antenna matching network to seal soldered coaxial cable junctions. It was chosen for its non-corrosive and electrical properties, for which it does well. But, in using it, I have come to appreciate the tube nozzle and cap design which permits applying exactly the right amount to the right places and then resealing without the product hardening in the nozzle between times of usage. A small thing, but it was a problem in the past with other products. It speeds things up, improved the result and reduces waste and cleanup. It’s a bit of good engineering that might otherwise get overlooked.
I wonder if you could pass this along to those down the line who were responsible. I appreciate their good work.
Orbra Bliss, Engineer

February 10, 2011ASI has recently been formulating a new product ASI 506! Based on market research we have decided that a new low-slump material needs to be added to our product line. This material will have some characteristics of a self leveling silicone but with a different set of adhesion purposes. It will be a low-slump cost effective material for specialty markets. ASI 506 is also formulated to have more adhesion characteristics than normal silicone. It will adhere and slump to cloth, cotton, polyester, other clothing materials, glass, most plastics, wood, metal, brass and many other specific applications. ASI 506 is available now and will appear online soon!
