Technical Data
For technical data please refer to the datasheet PDF.
Constraints
Do not use on substrates that are: bituminous, based on natural rubber or continuously immersed.
Sensitive metals, such as mirror-silver, lead and copper, and some natural stones, such as marble, will be affected by the acid released during cure.
Not suitable for aquaria, commercial food processing or medical applications.
Overpainting is not recommended.
Preparation
Ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease or any other contaminating barrier. For acrylic baths it is recommended that an adhesion test is carried out. The joint should be designed to be at least 6 mm wide and 6 mm deep. When making fillet joints, at least 6 mm sealant bite onto each surface is recommended. Surfaces should be masked with tape to ensure a neat sealant line.
Application
Do not use at temperatures below +5°C.
Acetic acid is produced during cure. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Carefully cut the tip of the cartridge and then cut the nozzle at a 45° angle and fix to the cartridge. The nozzle should be cut slightly larger than the joint to be filled.
Gun the sealant evenly into the joint. Tool the joint within 5 – 10 minutes with a spatula wetted with soapy water. This is essential to achieve a good bond to the substrate and provide a smooth finish. Remove any masking tape immediately after tooling.
Clean off any excess material or spillages and tools before the sealant cures.
Storage and Shelf life
When stored in cool, dry conditions in the original, unopened, containers the sealant had a shelf life of 24 months from date of manufacture.
Health and Safety
Essentially not hazardous. Not harmful during normal use. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Keep out of the reach of children.
