EpoxySystems' Product #916 Two-Component Low Modulus Polyurea Joint Sealant
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Composition: The PRODUCT #916 is a two-component, low modulus, polyurea based joint sealant designed to tolerate significant joint movement, up to + 25%. Unlike conventional polyurethane sealants, both components are insensitive to moisture, therefore, the containers may be opened and re-sealed without the material setting up. The PRODUCT #916 contains no solvents, therefore, contains no strong odors. PRODUCT #916 sealant consists of an "A" Component (Base), "B" Component (Catalyst), and a Product #904 color pack. Basic Uses: The PRODUCT #916 is a general purpose sealant providing a flexible, durable, weather-tight seal for all types of building joints, such as expansion joints in masonry and metal curtain walls, perimeter joints of sashes, panels and doors, water reservoirs, etc. Limitations: For Optimum Performance:
INSTALLATION Joint Design: A. The spacing and number of joints, as well as the joint width, should be designed to limit total joint movement to + 25%. B. The depth of the sealant, including its shape, should be controlled by using acceptable joint fillers or backing rod materials. Polyethylene rod or polyurethane foam is recommended as a joint-filler and back up material. Fillers treated with bituminous products, grease or oil, must not be used. Where present, contaminants must be completely removed or separated by vinyl tape or polyethylene film. C. A bond breaker tape, or polyethylene strip, should be used in shallow joints, which do not allow the use of a backerrod. Either a backer-rod or bond breaker tape must be used to prevent three-sided adhesion. D. Suitable for all properly designed joints following accepted engineering practices. Joint width must be a minimum of 4 times the anticipated movement. Surface Preparation: A. All joints must be absolutely clean and dry. For concrete joints, sandblasting is recommended. All curing compounds, old caulks, grease, waterproofing compounds, wax, rust, paint, curing compounds, loose debris, etc. must be removed. B. For non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, etc., cleaning with M.E.K is recommended. Do not use Toluene, as it leaves an oily surface. Priming: A. The PRODUCT #916 is a self-priming sealant, therefore, a primer is not normally required. B. However, for submerged applications or damp joints, prime all joints with the Product #888 Primer prior to installation. The Product #888 Primer must dry for approximately 1 hour at 77F and 50% R.H. before installing the PRODUCT #916. C. The contractor should test the adhesion of the sealant at the job site in order to verify that proper adhesion is being obtained. Mixing: A. The PRODUCT #916 is a two-component material, plus the separate Product #904 color pack, and must be mechanically mixed prior to use. B. The "A" Component, "B" Component, and The Product # 904 color pack are all pre-proportioned, at the factory, which eliminates the need for job site measuring. Mix complete kits only. C. Empty entire contents of "B" Component and Product #904 color-pack into the "A" Component pail. Mix thoroughly for 5 minutes, using a low speed drill and Jiffy mixing blade. Avoid whipping air into the material. D. During the mixing procedure, scrape the bottom and the sides of the container to ensure that the "A" Component, "B" Component, and the #904 color pack are thoroughly mixed, and that the color is uniform. Application: A. After the PRODUCT #916 has been completely mixed, the sealant must be drawn into a bulk caulking gun, or the bulk caulking gun may be filled using a "follower plate" device. B. Apply PRODUCT #916 continuously using sufficient pressure to fill the entire width and depth of the joint, from the bottom up. C. The tooling device may be wiped with a solvent, such as Xylene, to achieve a smooth, properly tooled joint. For Horizontal Joints: The PRODUCT #916 Type I, Pourable may be used on horizontal joints where the slope does not exceed 2%. A firm backing material is required beneath horizontal joints in order to help the sealant resist puncturing from high heel traffic.
