Performance Characteristics:
• Meets the requirements of ASTM C920 standard specification for Elastomeric joint sealants, Type S, Grade
NS, Class 25. Use NT, G, A and M.
• Meets the performance specifications of Federal Spec TT-S-00230c (COMNBS0), Type II, Class A.
• Exceeds ASTM Spec C834 Standard Specification for Latex Sealants.
• Tack free in 30 minutes.
• Paintable with latex or oil-based paints.
• Easy water clean-up.
Surface Preparation & Application:
1. Surface must be clean, dry and free of all old caulk, dirt, dust and grease.
2. Remove cap (from squeeze tube). Cut nozzle at a 45° angle to desired bead size.
3. Load into caulking gun if using the cartridge.
4. Fill gap with sealant, pushing sealant ahead of nozzle.
5. For a neat finish, smooth bead of sealant with a finishing tool.
6. Clean up excess uncured sealant with a damp cloth before it skins over (15 minutes). Cured sealant must be
cut or scraped away.
7. Allow sealant to dry 2-4 hours before painting with latex or oil-based paints. Cool or humid conditions or
type of paint used may require longer dry time.
8. Reseal squeeze tube/cartridge for storage and reuse.
For Best Results:
•
Apply in temperatures above 40°F (4.44 °C).
•
Do not apply if rain or freezing temperatures are forecasted before full cure can occur. Cold weather and
high humidity will slow down cure time.
•
Do not use below waterline or for marine or automobile applications, or filling surface defects.
•
Joint size should not exceed 1” (2.54 cm) wide by 1/2” (1.30 cm) deep. If joint depth exceeds 1/2” (1.30
cm), use foam backer rod.
•
Store sealant away from extreme heat or cold.
