Application

Description
A high durability, one part polysulphide sealant, suitable for perimeter sealing of timber windows.
Features and benefits:
- Relatively slow initial cure means that this sealant is not recommended for joints wider than 25 mm or for use in public areas/ schools, or areas liable to vandalism.
- It is compatible with both paint and stain finishes including water-borne products, but excessive movement may cause the paint to crack and induce tears in the sealant.
- Resistant to most alkalis and dilute acids, petrol, diesel, jet fuel and many solvents and vegetable oils. Should not cause migratory staining on concrete or masonry.
- Very good UV resistance.
- Available in six standard colours.
- Burns, but will not readily ignite, so does not constitute a fire hazard.
- Correctly applied, the sealant should not require maintenance, and has an anticipated life in excess of 20 years.
- Health and safety: The product is labelled as harmful; its use should be recorded in the Project Health and Safety Plan.
