Joint Sealant

1.01

All joints must be prepared, in accordance with the manufacturer’s current technical data sheet.

1.02

Preparation

The joint surfaces must be structurally sound and free of dirt, oil, release agents, loose materials and any contaminating foreign matter from joint faces. Remove all rust, scale and loose surface coatings from metal surfaces. Remove any grease with Solvent 10.

In moving joints, the sealant must not be allowed to bond to the back face of the joint. Prevention of 3 sided adhesions is achieved by installing either a polyethylene bond breaker tape, or placing / pressure fitting a closed cell, polyethylene backing rod or filler board into the joint to support the internal back of the sealant.

All materials used in conjunction with the new sealant system, shall be approved by the sealant manufacturer.
