Description
Soudaseal FR is a high quality single component joint sealant with high adhesive strength and excellent elasticity. It is based on MS-Polymer®,
chemically neutral and fully elastic. For use in high movement joints in construction, automotive, marine and aerospace areas where a tough flexible rubber is required with good fire retardant characteristics.
Characteristics
- High bond strength on nearly all surfaces
- Excellent adhesion on porous substrates
- High performance mechanical properties
- Flexible elastic rubber
- Straightforward application even in adverse conditions
- No bubble formation within sealant (in high temperature and humidity applications)
- Primerless adhesion on many substrates (except where water pressure may occur)
- Very easy to tool and finish
- Colour stability and UV resistant
- Ecological advantages – free of isocyanates, solvents, and acids
- Minimal health and safety considerations
- Overpaintable with all water based paints and many other systems
- Excellent weather resistance in all climates
- No staining of porous materials such as natural stone, granite (for marble please test a small area)
Applications
- Expansion and connection joints in the building industry
- Sealing of joints in prefabricated buildings
- Movement joints in high rise constructions
- Sealing between window and door frames
- Flexible joints in marine applications
- Flexible bonding in caravans and mobile structures
- Exposed movement joints on all usual building substrates
Directions for use
Method: Manual- or pneumatic caulking gun
Application temperature: +5°C until +35°C
Cleaning: White Spirit immediately after application and before curing
Tooling: soapy solution before skin formation
Repair with: Soudaseal FR
Remarks
Soudaseal FR may be overpainted, however due to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly suggest a compability test before
application. The drying time of alkyd resin based paints may increase.
