What is Putty?
A simple way to understand putty is to think of the clay we used to play with as kids.
It’s fun because you can freely create characters, animals, and all kinds of shapes—letting your imagination run wild. Similarly, industrial putty offers the same. It easily fits into gaps and holes of any shape, and because it can be molded irregularly, it’s more flexible and versatile than regular silicone or sealants.
When should you use Putty?!
When you want an easier job
⭕ Putty: Anyone can use it instantly—no extra tools required. Its strong adhesion means it can be applied on its own.
❌ Mortar: Cheap but requires mixing before use and possible to drip on walls, floors.
❌ Caulking materials: Requires tools and is less convenient to apply.
When you need to fill gaps of various sizes
⭕ Putty: Can be shaped to match the size of gaps or holes, making the job quick and simple.
❌ Rubber filler: Very durable in regular holes but not suitable for irregular ones.
❌ Caulking compounds: Workable for narrow gaps but not large spaces.
When you need a functional sealant
⭕ Putty: Available in specialized types such as high-temp putty, flame-retardant putty, rodent-proof putty, and even putty that hardens underwater. By adding pigments, it can also be made in any color.
