High performance join and crack sealing system.

---

Uses:

For sealing construction joints, expansion joints, connection joints, cracks and fissures on concrete and masonry for:

• Tunnels, culverts and ventilation ducts.
• Reservoirs and water retaining protection.
• Swimming pools.
• Silos.
• Waste water treatment plants.
• Industrial floors.
• Basements and cellars.
• Failed joint sealants.
• Roof connections.

Advantages:

• Resists water pressure.
• Easy to install.
• Applicable on dry and damp (not wet) surfaces.
• For large expansion joints or cracks.
• Permanent elasticity even at low temperatures.
• Weather resistant.
• Resistant to chemicals.
• No need to remove existing failed sealant.
• Suitable for contact with potable water.
• Suitable for new and existing joints.
• High joint movement capacity.
• Can be internally or externally applied.
• Accommodates variation in joint width.
• Accommodates movement in more than one dimension.
• Also suitable for crack repair and sealing around penetrations.

Handling Precautions:

Sika products are generally harmless provided that certain precautions normally taken when handling chemicals are observed. The materials must not, for instance, be allowed to come in contact with foodstuffs or food utensils and measures should also be taken to prevent the uncured materials from coming in contact with the skin, since people with particularly sensitive skin may be affected. The use of protective clothing, goggles, barrier creams and rubber gloves is required. The skin should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each working period either by washing with soap and warm water or by using a resin-removing cream - the use of powerful solvents is to be avoided.

Disposable paper towels - not cloth towels - should be used to dry the skin. Adequate ventilation of the working area is recommended. In case of accidental eye or mouth contact, flush with water - consult a doctor immediately. Health and Safety information on Sika Products is available and we strongly advise that this is read prior to their use. Sika products are for professional use and should be stored in sealed containers away from the reach of children.
