- Direction for Use
Surface preparation and sealant aplication:
Cleaning and joint preparation
Substrates (joint flanks) must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease and other contaminant which may affect the adhesion. Non-porous surfaces (such as aluminum, glass, etc.) should be cleaned with a suitable solvent and thoroughly dried with a clean cloth. Porous substrates (such as concrete, brickwork, etc.) must be mechanically cleaned from loose particles. Mask off the joint edges.
Primer
OLIVE MP-35CR adheres to most common construction materials without primer (glass, concrete, plastics, PVC, metals, aluminum, Zinc, wood, tiles). However, a preliminary adhesion test is recommended on every surface. Sometimes, it may be necessary to treat the joint surfaces with a primer to obtain better adhesion performances. Please contact us for any technical assistance.
Slicone sealant application
After substrate preparation, apply the sealant with a professional caulking gun, evenly and without bubbles. Observe the eventually used primer's open time before filling the joint.
Tooling and finishing
The joint should be tooled and smoothed before skin formation. Press the sealant and smooth it ensuring good contact with the surfaces to seal. Use neutral soapy water as a tooling agent. Remove masking tape. Uncured product may be easily removed with solvents such isopropyl alcohol or "white spirit". Cured sealant must be removed mechanically.Remarks
- Do not use OLIVE MP-35CR as a structural glazing sealant.
- Do not use on bituminous substrates or in conjunction with silicones.
- Do not apply on building materials which might bleed oils, plasticizers or solvents. (e.g. rubber, chloroprene, EPDM).
- Preliminary compatibility tests are always recommended if any doubt regarding suitability exists.
- Do not use in joints subject to movement over 20%.
- OLIVE MP-35cr has good UV stability but may discolor after long term exposure or in extreme conditions.
- There is no adhesion to PE, PP, PTFE (Teflon®). Due to the wide variety of possible substrates, we recommend a preliminary compatibility test.
- Paintability: can be overpainted after curing with water based paint, but due to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly suggest a compatibility test before application.
- Joint Design
Expansion joints should be correctly dimensioned taking account of dimensional changes in the substrates due to thermal filuctuations. Joint's dimensions should match with the sealant movement capability, with a maximum permitted value of 25%
Use closed cell polyethylene backer foam (Olive Backer Rod) as a back-up material to
limit the sealant joint depth and avoid three-sided adhesion.
The following general rules/recommendations should be followedGeneral statement: The ideal joint has a 2:1 width: depth ratio
Minimum joint dimensions 5-6mm width x 5-6 mm depth.
Up to 12 mm wide: Width = depth From 12mm to 24mm wide Depth = ½ width Wider than 24mm Depth = 12-15mm
Expansion joints should not be wider than 50mm
