Application Guide

1. Cut nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the desired bead width, and apply to substrate with a sealant gun.
2. Tool within 5-10 minutes.
3. Uncured sealant can be cleaned up with mineral turpentine.
4. Some surfaces may need a primer; if so, allow primer to dry before applying sealant.
5. Use approved backing material for joints over 10mm deep.
6. For a neat appearance, use masking tape and remove it before the sealant skins over.

Surface Preparation

Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease, oil, rust, and water. Use white spirits or mechanical cleaning with a lint-free cloth. Do not use soap or detergent. For plastics, contact Sealants Australasia for a recommended cleaning solvent. When used on remedial work, all existing sealant must be removed before applying new material.

Limitations

• Not recommended for submerged joints where porous substrates permit water to the bond interface.
• Not for certain rubber products where bleeding of plasticiser may occur.
• Not suitable for horizontal walkways where sealant will be subject to abrasion.
• Cannot be painted, as paint will not adhere to sealant.
• Not recommended for use on polycarbonate plastic.
• Suitability for other types of plastic, including extruded gutter profiles, should be tested before application.
