Environmental sealing may be achieved by extruding a sealing material having a cone penetration value preferably from 100-350 (10-1 mm) and an ultimate elongation of at least 100% from a material-dispensing gun, having means for example a mesh, for causing the material to be mechanically deformed preferably by shear and preferably causing it to be comminuted.

Environmental sealing

Environmental sealing may be achieved by means of a flexible envelope having therein a sealing material having a cone penetration value preferably from 100-350 (10.sup.-1 mm) and an ultimate elongation of at least 100%. The material is preferably mechanically deformed preferably by shear and preferably causing it to be comminuted.

Environmental sealing of a substrate

This invention provides a sealing material which comprises a layer of elastomeric sealant having a cone penetration from about 100 to 350 (10.sup.-1 mm) and an ultimate elongation of at least 50% and disposed on a surface thereof an air drying or air curing material which sufficiently adheres to the surface of the elastomeric sealant to permit placement of the elastomeric sealant on a substrate and which reduces the surface tack of the elastomeric sealant.
