ADVANTAGES

• Semi-flexible formula that allows for limited temperature and humidity movement of concrete.
• Tough performance reduces floor joint repairs and maintenance.
• Suitable for filling cracks in older floors to reduce the rate of deterioration

SPECIFICATIONS / COMPLIANCE

PolySeal EP - 11C is a semi flexible joint filler designed to comply with ACI 302 recommendations regarding control and construction joints.

APPLICATION

• Concrete construction and control joints in industrial floors
• Crack filler repair for old floors.

APPLICATION METHODOLOGY

• Ensure that the groove to be treated is free from oil, grease, paints or any other contamination.
• Any dust or loose particles has to be removed by air pressure or by any other suitable method.
• Grooves should be clean and dry prior to the application of PolySeal EP - 11C.
• Masking tape has to be applied near the edge of the groove to get a straight neat finish.
• Mix component A and Component B separately. If settling is observed in the Comp A and Comp B, loosen the settled material with the help of hand stirrer followed by power driven stirrer for quick homogeneous mixing. Mix Comp B gradually into the Comp A under continuous stirring.
• After ensuring a homogeneous mix, pour the mixed material into the groove.
• Joints should be overfilled and immediately cut with a razor knife or ground flush with the floor. If PolySeal EP - 11C has completely hardened, a heat flame may be used to soften the material for easier removal.
• PolySeal EP - 11C requires no special curing instructions. The product will cure within 24 hrs of placement @ 21 ºC. Lower temperature will slow the curing rate.
