Description

An oil-based, general-purpose mastic.


Features and benefits:

  • Not recommended for high movement joints or expansion joints.
  • Resistant to dilute alkalis and acids.
  • Should not cause staining on many common building materials, but may stain porous materials such as marble, slate and other natural and reconstituted stones.
  • Flash point: 65°C.
  • Good UV resistance but may undergo slight yellowing.
  • Available in four standard colours.
  • Can be painted, but excessive movement will cause the paint to crack. Bituminous paints should not be used.
  • Correctly applied, the sealant should not require maintenance, and has an anticipated life in excess of 10 years.
  • Health and safety: Avoid prolonged skin contact. Use of this product should be recorded in the Project Health and Safety Plan.

Backing

A combined joint filler/ bond breaker, such as closed cell foam polyethylene rod, should always be used to ensure that the sealant adheres only to the joint faces and not to the back.
