Technical Information Sealing Compound
DUPLI-COLOR Sealing Compound (water-tight) is a permanent elastic, fiber-reinforced, light grey sealant. It is suitable for the repair of damaged gaps, fissures and holes in the entire scope of roofs, e.g. chimneys, drain pipes, roof-lights, skylights, rain pipes etcl
Not suitable to permanent load with water (e.g. ponds or fountains).
Physical and chemical data
- Basis of the binder: Modified acrylic resins
- Colour: light grey
- Consistency: paste-like
- Efficiency:
750 ml are sufficient for approx. 0.4 m² - Drying time (at 20°C, 65% relative air humidity):
Dust-dry: after approx. 3 hours
Dry to touch: after approx. 2 days
Coatable: after 8 days
Fully dry: after approx. 14 days
The drying time depends on surrounding temperature, air humidity and absorpitivity of the ground. Excessive layer thickness and missing air movement can delay the drying process. - Storage stability:
2 years if appropriate storage provided (=10°-25°C, relative air humidity of max. 60%) in the unopened original container.
Do not store below 5°C - Size: metal tins 750 ml
Environment and labelling
Environmentally sound: European Aerosols is committed to apply formulations without restricted or critical ingredients and to achieve best possible performance. The caps and packagings are made of recyclable material.
Disposal: Only the completely emptied cans should be put into the recycling skip or appropriate container for reclaimable refuse. Cans which are not empty should be disposed off as "special refuse".
Marking/Labelling: All products made by European Aerosols comply with the actual labelling regulations according to Preparation Guideline 1999/45/EG. All aerosols correspond to TRGS 200 and TRG 300 as well as to aerosol guideline 75/324/EWG in the actually valid version.
Preparation of the ground:
- Remove food during the working and drying time from the concerned rooms.
- Possible subsoils: tar, bitumen, weldet asphalt sheeting, tar paper, fiber cement, rigid PVC, aluminium, zinc, copper, lead, stone, concrete, roof slates, shingles.
- Ground has to be bearing, dry, clean and free from dust and fat.
- Remove loose parts.
- Clean aluminium, zinc and copper with a cleaner customary in the trade.
- Clean all smooth grounds, such as rigid PVC and metals with a customary universal cleaner.
Surface coating system:
- Apply 1 - 2 times DUPLI-COLOR sealing compound undiluted approx. 2 mm thick with a brush.
- In general there is a non-recurring application sufficient. In extreme cases there can be applied a second layer after 8 days.
- For a coloured design it can be recoated with common, water-based arylic laquers.
- Working temperature: during the whole working and drying time the temperature of the material, substrate and air is min. 8°C and max. 30°C. In cases of urgency the material can be used during rain and frost up to +5°C.
Remarks:
- The use in underwater environments or against pressing water is not possible.
- Take care with plastics, the can be etched.
- Do not use on polystyrene.
- We recommend tests in case of unknown substrates.
