- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Characteristics
- AAMA approved (see below)
- excellent adhesion and extrudability, even in adverse conditions
- high bond strength on nearly all surfaces
- high performance mechanical properties
- flexible elastic rubber - movement accommodation up to +/-50
- low modulus - can handle extreme joint movement
- no bubble formation within sealant even in high temperature and humidity applications
- very easy to tool and finish color stable and UV resistant
- ecological advantages - free of isocyanates, solvents, halogens and acids
- minimal health and safety considerations
- can be painted with water based paints and many other systems (to be tested)
- excellent weather resistance in all climates
- primerless adhesion on many different substrates (except where water pressure may occur) almost odorless
- Direction for use
Recommended Surfaces: EIFS, Stucco, Aluminum, Concrete, Masonry, Wood, Stone, Glass, Vinyl, Fiber Cement Siding, Metals, PVC, Kynar 500.
Surface Preparation: clean, dry, free of dust and grease, free of chipping paint.
Priming: Porous surfaces in water loaded applications should be primed with Primer 150. Surface Activator may be used to pretreat non-porous surfaces.Resistance to chemical agents:
Good resistance to water, aliphatic solvents, mineral oils, grease, diluted inorganic acids and alkalis. Poor resistance to aromatic solvents, concentrated acids, chlorinated hydrocarbons.Joint dimensions:
- Minimal Width: 1/4”
- Maximum Width: 1 1/2”
- Minimum Depth: 1/5”
- Recommendation: width = 2 x depth
Application
- Method: Manual- or pneumatic caulking gun. Application
- temperature: -35°F to 140°F. Cleaning: with IPA
- immediately after use and before curing. Repair with:
- Soudaseal 50 LM.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Application Method
- Cure Method
- Applications
- expansion and connection joints in the building industry
- sealing of joints in prefabricated buildings
- movement joints in high rise construction
- sealing between window and door frames
- flexible joints in automotive applications
- applications that should be painted with water-based paints
- Remarks
- Should not be used as a structural sealant.
- May be painted, however due to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly suggest a compatibility test before application. The drying time of alkyd resin based paints may increase.
- Should not be used as a glazing sealant.
- Should not be used for continuous immersion in water.
- Do not apply to freshly treated wood; treated wood must have been weathered for at least 6 months.
- Lower temperatures and humidity will extend curing time.
- Contact with plasticizer containing plastics (e.g. flexible
- PVC, butyl rubber, EPDM,…) can lead to incompatibilities, such as discoloration or loss of adhesion. We recommend a preliminary compatibility test.
- We recommend a preliminary adhesion test on every surface.
