Design Criteria
Nitoseal 125/130

Application instructions Joint preparation

Joint surface must be sound, clean, dry and frost free. Excessive dirt, laitance and other contamination must be removed by wire brushing. Where necessary to achieve the correct joint profile a foam back up strip should be used in

Joint should be designed so that movement due to shrinkage and thermal changes does not exceed Movement Accommodation factor, related to joint width

Nitoseal 125/130
joints not using foam backing, debonding tape should be placed in the base of the joint.

Storage
Atleast 9 months shelf life in original unopened cartridges when stored in dry conditions below 250C.

Application
Nitoseal 125/130 can be applied by hand or air operated caulking gun. Ensure that the sealant is pushed firmly into the joint to give complete wetting of the surface. Any tooling of the sealant surface must be carried out immediately using a joint shaping tool soaked in detergent solution. If required the edges of the joints can be protected with masking tape. If this is done ensure that the tape is removed immediately after tooling.
