Gripset B26 is a cold-applied bitumen sealing compound engineered for waterproofing cracks and horizontal joints in civil and industrial asphalt pavement. This solvent-free, non-toxic formula delivers 300% elongation to accommodate substrate movement and a 15-minute trafficable drying window to reduce site downtime and lane closures.
Engineered for high-stakes infrastructure, it maintains watertight integrity against sulphates and ground salts while its low-viscosity liquid profile ensures deep penetration into cracks for a durable, non-tacky seal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Gripset B26 be applied if the surface is damp?
Yes. B26 can be applied over damp surfaces when properly prepared. Remove loose contaminants, then pass a propane torch to clear dew and lightly warm the crack. Fill proud, then recheck after a few minutes and top up any draw-down.
How much will I need?
Coverage depends on crack geometry. As a guide, ~80 m per litre at 2 mm width × 5 mm depth. Always verify on site and allow extra for top-ups after penetration.
Is it suitable for expansion or movement joints?
No. B26 is not for expansion or movement joints. Use it for asphalt/bitumen crack sealing and horizontal gaps where a flexible, non-tacky, waterproof seal is required.
Applications & Benefits
| Application / Use Case | Key Benefit | Primary Trades |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt road crack sealing | Rapid return to traffic with durable waterproof seal | Civil contractors, road maintenance |
| Horizontal joints & gaps in bitumen | Flexible, non-tacky finish with strong adhesion | Paving/asphalt crews |
| Seal between old and new asphalt layers | Prevents water ingress at cold joints | Paving/asphalt crews |
| General prevention of water ingress into road cracks | Chemical and moisture resistance for longevity | Civil & asset maintenance |
Applying Gripset B26 Asphalt Crack Filler: Enhanced Protocols & Best Practices
-
Mix & Decant
Stir with a manual paddle or drill-mounted paddle until fluid and homogeneous. Decant into a pour spout or spray unit (min. spout aperture 5 mm).
Spout-Pour
Run the spout along the crack, filling slightly proud of the surface to allow for penetration.
Spray Unit
Use controlled passes to wet out crack walls and fill to surface level; avoid overspray on adjacent areas.
Timing: Traffic typically in ~15 minutes, ambient-dependent.Pro Tip: Stage in manageable runs and keep material moving to maintain a consistent bead and minimise cold joints. -
Refill After Penetration
After a few minutes, re-inspect the length just filled. Top up any draw-down voids until the crack remains filled and slightly proud.
Top-Up Pass
Refill only where required to ensure full-depth sealing without over-application.
Timing: Recheck within 2–5 minutes depending on crack depth/porosity.Pro Tip: Aim for cracks ≥2 mm width to enable reliable penetration and sealing. -
Clean-Up & Reopen
Clean tools with water while wet. Once dry, remove residues with suitable solvent (e.g., mineral turpentine/acetone). Confirm non-tacky finish before reopening to traffic.
Limitations & Safety
Product Limitations
Do not apply below 5 °C or above 35 °C surface temperature.Not for expansion/movement joints.Do not apply when rain is imminent or forecast within 24 hours.Not for areas exposed to solvent or petroleum spills.Safety & Handling Requirements
Personal Protective Equipment
Wear gloves, eye protection and suitable workwear. Avoid skin and eye contact; wash after use.
Ventilation Requirements
Use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling vapours or aerosols during application and clean-up.
Fire & Handling Precautions
Keep away from ignition sources when using solvents for dried residue removal. Store sealed pails out of direct sunlight and off concrete floors.
Emergency First Aid
Eyes:Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if easy; continue rinsing.Skin:Wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.Inhaled:Move to fresh air and rest. Seek medical attention if symptoms continue.Swallowed:Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.Refer to the most recent Safety Data Sheet and seek medical attention in serious exposure cases.
Gripset B26 Asphalt Crack Filler Application Guide
Asphalt & Bitumen Surfaces
Surface PreparationBlow or broom out dirt, dust and loose aggregate. Remove organic growth. If dew is present or in cool conditions, pass a propane torch to remove moisture and gently warm the crack. Ensure cracks are >2 mm width for optimal penetration and free of standing water.
Primer RequirementsNo primer typically requiredApply directly into the prepared crack. Recheck after initial penetration and top up to remain slightly proud of the surface.
