Application

Suitable for use in heavily trafficked floor joints, or joints requiring a high degree of chemical resistance.

Description

A two part polysulphide sealant for structural floor joints.


Features and benefits:

  • It is not recommended for joints subject to large and frequent movement or for use with potable water.
  • The sealant is resistant to most alkalis and dilute acids, petrol, diesel, jet fuel and many solvents and vegetable oils.
  • Arbokol 2150 burns, but will not readily ignite, so does not constitute a fire hazard.
  • It can be painted, but excessive joint movement may cause the paint to crack and could induce tears in the sealant.
  • Correctly applied, the sealant should not require maintenance, and has an anticipated life in excess of 20 years.
  • When used in trafficked areas, or in special environments such as swimming pools, life may be reduced.
  • Has good UV resistance.
  • Health and safety: Some components are labelled as toxic. Use of this product should be recorded in the Project Health and Safety Plan.

Manufacturer guidance

  • Primers are available to suit other substrates, refer to technical literature for details.

Backing

Where the joint has been packed out with fibre-board, bond breaker tape should be used.
