Sealing success

Hodgson Sealants launched its next generation HY-Spec 25 hybrid sealant for installers to great acclaim at the FIT Show, the company said, while presenting its heritage glazing systems.

HY-Spec 25 is paintable, UV stable, suitable for interior or exterior use, can be applied in damp conditions, and is permanently elastic. Available in white, black, grey, anthracite grey and brown, it boasts an 18-month shelf life.

With a super-size HY-Spec 25 cartridge as the focal point on the stand, Hodgson Sealants said that formulation was developed and manufactured in the UK from its Hull facility. There were physical application samples thanks to a Dulux taster pot, showing the paintable nature of the new development.

Working with Slenderline Glass, Hodgson Sealants also showed off its heritage glazing systems and heritage putty, while the stand also promoted a number of memberships of key trade bodies, including the GGF, British Woodworking Association and the Wooden Window Alliance, along with the promotion of being an active participant in the Made in Britain initiative.

Charles Hodgson, managing director of Hodgson Sealants, said: “We had a wonderful show and the interest in HY-Spec 25 was particularly strong with installers eager to upgrade their existing silicones to a better next generation product. As a UK manufacturer, it was also important for us to present the business in front of a large target audience and show them the depth of our product range and capabilities for innovation.”
