    Difference Between Silicone and Caulk There are different chemicals from which the caulk is made. One of those is silicone. So, silicone is the raw material and the caulk is the final product that you use. Sometimes, people refer silicone caulks as silicone and acrylic caulks as caulk.

    Secondly, is silicone an adhesive? Silicone glue is a type of adhesive that contains silicon and oxygen atoms, making it a good water-resistant solution. It is used in many areas because of its stability, both chemically and thermally. Silicone glue is also resistant to weathering and moisture, unlike many other adhesives.

    People also ask, can you use silicone caulk as an adhesive?

    A. The simple answer to the first question is yes, silicone caulk could be used as an exterior glue. However, because its not actually an adhesive, its adhesive qualities tend to break down much sooner than those of an actual adhesive. In documented cases of over 60 years, this type of glue still remains durable.
