  • Tested to: BS 476: Part 22: 1987. Test report IT 349; BS 476 Part 20: 1987.
  • WARRES Report No: C118002.
  • Fire integrity: 38 minutes.
  • Health and safety: There are no health hazards associated with normal work, however regular users are advised to wear gloves.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Painting of the sealant is not recommended.
  • The sealant is not recommended for use with laminated glass or against natural stone.
