SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The surface must be clean, dry and free of dust, grease or residues. On concrete, wait first for it to cure out and stabilize (minimum 4 weeks). A preliminary test is necessary on siliconized tiles. It is up to the users to check the compatibility with the surface in terms of adherence, chemical compatibility and staining (make a pre-test if required). Size correctly the joint according to the predictable movements and to the capacity of movement. The width of the joint must be included between 6 and 40 mm. For the width of joint lower or equal to 10 mm, the depth of the joint must be equal to its width. For the widths of joints superior to 10 mm the depth of the joint must be equal in the middle of its width.

APPLICATION

The surface must be clean, dry and free of dust, grease or residues. On concrete, wait first for it to cure out and stabilize (minimum 4 weeks). A preliminary test is necessary on siliconized tiles. It is up to the users to check the compatibility with the surface in terms of adherence, chemical compatibility and staining (make a pre-test if required). Size correctly the joint according to the predictable movements and to the capacity of movement. The width of the joint must be included between 6 and 40 mm. For the width of joint lower or equal to 10 mm, the depth of the joint must be equal to its width. For the widths of joints superior to 10 mm the depth of the joint must be equal in the middle of its width.

Apply the sealant in a continuous strip with enough pressure to fill properly the joint.

Apply the sealant in one layer with joints of small width, in three layers with joints of large width, the two first onto the edges of the joint and the third onto the bottom. Smooth with water free of additives. Press the sealant correctly against the edges and the bottom of the joint while avoiding the air bubbles inclusion. Remove the masking tape. Protect the joint from all downpours and water streaming.

Clean the material (equipment) with white spirit before drying. The cured sealant comes out by scratching.

Can be later painted after full curing. Use rather paintings in dispersal (acrylic, vinyl) and realize a preliminary test. The movement of the joint can pull (entail) the fissuring of the painting.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

CURED JOINT CHARACTERISTICS

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Chemical resistance (as an indication): to water, cleaning agents, accidental spills of oils and hydrocarbons, accidental spills of acids and diluted bases. Because of the sensitivity of polyurethanes to UV, clear colours may change over time. This modification is only aesthetic and it does not affect the mechanical properties of the cured product.
