FOSROC Thioflex 600 Gun Grade – 2.5Litre

Ideal for heavily trafficked floor joints, sealing movement joints in building and civil engineering structures, including superstructures, basements and subways.

APPLICATION

Joint preparation

The joint surfaces must be dry, clean and free of frost. Remove any dust by rigorous wire brushing, grinding or grit blasting. Also, all rust, scale and protective lacquers must be removed from metal surfaces. Also, any expansion joint filler must be checked to ensure it is tightly packed, and no gaps or voids exist at the base of the sealing slot before positioning a bond breaker.

Note: The use of a bond breaker is not required in expansion joints containing Hydrocell XL or Expandafoam cellular polyethylene expansion joint fillers.

Priming

Priming should be achieved by applying one thin coat, using a clean, dry brush, ensuring complete coverage, then applying sealant once the primer is tack-free. If left for 3 hours, the surfaces must be reprimed before applying the sealant. Iron and steel must be protected with an anti-corrosion primer before sealing.

Mixing

Mix thoroughly using a slow speed drill fitted with a mixing paddle for at least 5 minutes. Thoroughly mixing all contents, including material right at the bottom of the tin. Immediately after mixing, load the sealant into a barrel Gun using the Follower Plate, and apply to the joint.
