General Construction
From sunrise to sunset, new structures are being built every day. Contractors play a vital role in the construction process – from planning the job and specing the right materials to completing the work and ensuring customer satisfaction. So many elements factor into a successful job.
That’s why those who know trust Novagard. Our contractor-friendly products make it easier to get the job done while the quality and performance of our sealants and foams help increase efficiency by minimizing call backs.
Our low odor silicones are easily gunned at all temperatures, regardless of season, and are incredibly easy to tool. Clean up is quick – our solvent-free silicones can be wiped up with just a cloth rag, and our plastic cartridges won’t fall apart if they get wet or freeze if you leave them overnight in your truck.
Novagard manufactures high quality construction adhesives and sealants that are great for exterior and interior sealing, offering excellent UV resistance so your job will never chalk or fade. NovaFlex silicones are permanently flexible, and will not sag or slump.
Foam Seal PVC foams are used in the mechanical installation of HVAC systems on the job site. Combining flexibility with strength and wear resistance, our foams protect against weather, cushion against shock and vibration, and provide a thermal/condensation barrier.
Creating Products for a Sustainable Future
At Novagard, we manufacture products which minimize environmental impact and promote the health and well-being of our customers and employees. Since the early 1980s, we have been dedicated to leading the industry with environmentally superior silicone adhesives.
Our entire line of NovaFlex building systems silicones meet or exceed the low VOC compliance requirements in all 50 states with solvent-free and environmentally friendly chemical formulations. Using NovaFlex sealants on your green-building project will contribute to LEED® and NAHB® building certification points. Visit our Resource Library to download our LEED and NAHB certificates.

Construction Silicones & Hybrid Adhesives
NovaFlex Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sealant is an odorless, all-weather silicone that completely cures in a couple of days, and remains flexible to resist cracking, mildew, and discoloration for years to come.
NovaFlex Metal Roof & Panel Adhesive Sealant cures to most materials without corroding, drying to a durable, rubber-like solid that is utterly impervious to UV light, so will never chalk or fade.
NovaFlex Gutter Seal is an encapsulating compound that cures even when wet and remains flexible for a permanent seal.
NovaPatch Fiber Reinforced Mastic is an exceptionally versatile fibered mastic and roof sealer designed for use on a variety of membranes and coated roofs. It cures quickly and provides immediate waterproofing for short-term, long-term, and emergency repairs.
NovaFlash Butter Grade Mastic is an exceptionally versatile mastic and roof sealer designed ffor applications that require a lower thickness and less density than NovaPatch Fiber Reinforced Mastic.
NovaFlex Joint Sealant offers primerless adhesion and is equally effective in transverse contraction and expansion joints, as well as longitudinal, centerline, and shoulder joints.
Perfect for emergency repairs to leaky metal roofs, NovaFlex Metal Roof Repair & Patch Mastic can be quickly applied with a trowel or brush, fully curing into a translucent, rubber-like solid in as little as 48 hours.
NovaBond Textured Hybrid Construction Sealant is an advanced hybrid that strongly adheres to almost any material and is an easy way to complement coarse surfaces like mortar, brick, stone, concrete, asphalt, or stucco.
A ready-to-use, moisture cured, sealant for pitch pans and other penetration seals, NovaFlex Pitch Pocket Penetration Sealant is semi self-leveling, while viscous enough to avoid drain-out issues.
When you have a job where the color of your adhesive/sealant doesn’t matter, consider using NovaFlex Twilight Sealant. Same great quality, but at a fraction of the price.
NovaFlex Gutter Seal is an encapsulating compound that cures even when wet and remains flexible for a permanent seal. The self-tooling Flowable is perfect for working into miters and corners.
NovaBond Smooth Hybrid Construction Sealant is an advanced hybrid that strongly adheres to almost any material while remaining permanently flexible.
