Description
A joint waterproofing system for movement and expansion joints in a variety of substrate types.
Koster`s range of FS Joint Sealants are polysulphide-based elastic materials that are characterized as having excellent resistance to mechanical stresses, UV radiation, ageing and aggressive chemicals. The substrate is primed with the fast curing, transparent, solvent free, two component bonding agent - Koster FS Primer 2C. A customary closed cell backing cord is then installed into the joint - to a pre-determined depth - before applying the material. To avoid damage caused by tension stresses, the joint sealant is applied in thicknesses depending on the measurements of the joint.
The system is available in black and grey.
System components:
- Koster FS Primer 2C.
- Koster Joint Sealant FS-V.
- Koster Joint Sealant FS-H.
- Koster Universal Cleaner.
