Packaging
- Colour: white
- Packaging: 310 ml cartridge
Shelf life
- At least 12 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +5 °C and +25 °C. Protect against frost.
Substrates
Substrates:
- All usual porous building substrates, including timber, MDF, particle board, plywood, fibre cement sheet, plasterboard, concrete, masonry including brick and block work, cement render, tiles, ceramics, aluminium, etc.
Nature:
- Rigid, clean, free of dust and grease, dry
Surface preparation:
- For optimal adhesion and in critical applications, we recommend to follow a pretreatment procedure.
- Prepare highly porous surfaces with a diluted Soudal Pro Gaps Fill & Paint.
- Add 1 part Soudal Pro Gaps Fill & Paint with 2 parts water.
- We recommend a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on every surface.
Joint dimensions
- Min. width for joints: 1 mm
- Max. width for joints: 10 mm
- Min. depth for joints: 5 mm
- Max. depth for joints: 10 mm
- Recommendation for sealing jobs: joint width = joint depth.
- Use PE backer rods before applying the sealant in large joints to avoid 3- point adhesion.
Application method
- Refer to the current Technical Data Sheet on our
website prior to use. - Do not apply when rain or frost is imminent during curing process.
Application method:
- With manual or pneumatic caulking gun.
- Finish with spatula or filling knife.

Health and Safety Recommendations
- Take the usual labour hygiene into account.
- Consult label and material safety data sheet for more information.
Remarks
- Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.
- Paintable with most paints.
- The paint must be sufficiently elastic to allow application on a plasto-elastic sealant.
- Given the great diversity in available paints it is recommended to do a compatibility test prior to application.
- When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be completely hardened before the next one is applied.
