Properties

Butylrubber sealant should fulfill its functions due to its properties:

  • elasticity;
  • does not require additional preparations for use;
  • deformation and strength indicators are at a fairly high level;
  • high level of adhesion to various surfaces;
  • temperature operation from -20 to +40 degrees Celsius;
  • resistance to aggressive environment and precipitation;
  • does not require special skills and tools for installation;
  • possible subsequent staining.

    Specifications:

    • the weight of one cubic meter of composition is 800-1100 kg;
    • able to withstand pressure up to two atmospheres;
    • when you try to break the frozen composition is extended twice;
    • dry matter content relative to the total mass of more than 50 percent;
    • bond strength with concrete is equal to two atmospheres;
    • consumption per 1 square. m from 0.5 to 1 kg of sealant;
    • after application withstands temperatures from -50 to +80 degrees Celsius;
    • one hour to dry to "tack free."

    • strips from 4 cm wide, there should be more than four per square meter;
    • drops are also applied with a spatula, 50-80 g each, with a frequency of 10 per square meter.

    The method of application depends on the material of the surface, as well as on how to apply sealant to you more conveniently.

    Application Tips from Professionals

    • before starting work it is recommended to mix the composition;
    • dust and humidity can impair adhesion of the sealant to the surface, so the surface must be cleaned and dried;

    • apply the composition with a rubber or metal spatula;
    • clothes, exposed skin, eyes should be protected from the mixture; gloves must be used;
    • adding a solvent to the sealant for easier application will adversely affect its properties;
    • Watch for the formation of gaps and voids during operation, they will have a negative impact on the operation;
    • Always follow the manufacturer-recommended norms, the description of which you will find on the label.

    Unlike analogs, this sealant can be used at low temperatures and high humidity.
