flexothane 45 – Single component hybrid construction sealant and adhesive

• One-component, easy to gun
• Oxidation resistant
• VOC free
• Non-tack/does not pick up dirt
• Crack filler on cementitious substrates
• Good adhesion on the most common construction materials
• Good weathering and ageing properties
• Medium chemical and wear resistance

All surfaces are to be clean sound and free of moisture, dust, laitance and oil.

If applied to natural stone, we recommend the use of flexoprime^® 105.

Suitable back-up materials must be used to adjust sealant depth in the joint duracord^® is self-releasing material, but if durasheet^®, soft-board or cork has been used as the joint filler and the sealant is going to applied without duracord^® a plastic strip bond breaker (polyethylene) must be placed on the filler surface before sealant is applied.

Masking tape applied to areas adjacent to the joint will protect them from contamination and enable the joints to be finished to a neat line. The
masking tape should be applied after the joint has been prepared, prior to any priming or sealing operation and removed after all finishing and tooling
operations have been completed, but before the sealant has cured.

Place sausage in the barrel gun, cut end off of sausage and fit the nozzle; trim the tip to suit the joint spacing to be filled. Insert backing rod to the
correct depth. Gun the product into clean joints that are free of loose material and laitance, then smooth with a dry spatula. The joint width should be designed to accommodate the expected movement, a width to depth ratio of 2:1 should be respected and a minimum width of 6 mm and a maximum of 20 mm should be adhered to (10 mm in depth).

Tooling of sealants is necessary to avoid air entrapment and to assist in wetting out the surfaces to which the sealant is applied. The surfaces of the
joint should be smoothed with a clean knife or spatula. A mild solution of liquid soap and water can be sprayed onto the tooling spatula if required.

The sealant will be flexothane^® 45, a single-component, hybrid moisture curing sealant/adhesive that is VOC free applied in accordance with the recommendations of a.b.e.^®

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use, and before the material has set, with abe^® super brush cleaner followed by washing with
soap and water.
