Typically, sealants are used to close small openings that are difficult to shut with other materials, such as concrete, drywall, etc. Desirable properties of sealants include insolubility, corrosion resistance, and adhesion.
The main difference between adhesives and sealants is that sealants typically have lower strength and higher elongation than do adhesives.
