Chemical Properties: Polyurethane, moisture-curing.
Application Temperature Range: +5°C to +40°C (41°F to 104°F). Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application.
Application Information
-
Required Tools: Caulking gun, spatula or putty knife, industrial solvent (Xylene or mineral turps) for clean-up.
-
Trade-Specific Tips: Prime concrete floor joints with Primer 2001. Use backer rod or bond breaker tape to prevent three-sided adhesion. Tool the sealant immediately after application for a smooth finish.
-
Common Issues and Solutions: Bubbling can occur from entrapped air or damaged closed-cell backer rod. Ensure proper joint preparation and tooling. Avoid painting until fully cured to prevent retarding the curing process.
