Urochem 280
SEMI-RIGID PU JOINT FILLER (FLOW & GUN GRADE)
DESCRIPTION
Urochem 280 is a twin pack pourable or gunable PU compound designed to be used as a joint filler in floors where movement is limited. Due to its good compressive properties, it helps reinforce the joint arises against the effect of wheeled traffic. It exhibits good resistance to cleaning solutions, mild acids, alkalis, and oils.
APPLICATION
- The joint depth should be a minimum of 50mm.
- The depth of the joint should be controlled by using a compacted layer of dry 5mm silica sand and the joint is then filled with the thoroughly blended Urochem 280 to the full depth of the joint by either pouring or gunning using a long barrel gun.
- As a flush finish is required overfill with the compound to create a raised surface Check an hour or so after the original application to ensure that some of the jointing material has not seeped away and top up as required.
- The excess material should be shaved or ground flush the next day.
- Staining of the areas adjacent to the joint can occur and should be allowed for.
- Important – The sealant MUST be supported from below.
- No priming is required
PRODUCT APPLICATION
- As reinforcing joint filler for low movement joints in floors designed to handle heavy wheeled traffic.
- In new floors, installation should only commence after a minimum of 28 days of curing.
NB. before shrinkage of the concrete has ceased or temperatures have stabilised, the use of a temporary sealant is highly recommended..
