Chemical Properties: Hybrid acrylic formulation. This sealant is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and free from isocyanates, providing a safe and environmentally friendly solution.
Application Temperature Range: -18°C to +60°C (0°F to 140°F). Apply between 5°C and 40°C for optimal results. Protect sealant from water until cured.
Application Information
-
Required Tools: Caulking gun, spatula, masking tape, cleaning cloths, and xylene for cleanup.
-
Trade-Specific Tips: Use the two-wipe process for impervious substrates and mask joint edges for a neater finish. Apply sealant at a 45° angle, ensuring it's pushed firmly into place.
-
Common Issues and Solutions: For adhesion issues on suspect surfaces, conduct adhesion testing. For extended curing times in non-porous channels, ensure adequate ventilation.
