Packaging: 310 ml cartridge

Shelf life
At least 12 months in unopened packaging in a dry storage place at temperatures between +5 °C and +25 °C. Protect against frost.

Substrates
Substrates: On most porous building surfaces, on aluminium.
Nature: clean, free of dust and grease.
Surface preparation: Highly porous surfaces should be primed with diluted Soudal Fill and Paint Gap Filler ( 1 part Soudal Fill and Paint Gap Filler + 2 parts water).
We recommend a preliminary adhesion test on every surface.

Joint dimensions
Min. width for joints: 1 mm
Max. width for joints: 10 mm
Min. depth for joints: 5 mm
Recommendation sealing jobs: joint width = joint depth. Use PE backer rods before applying the sealant in large joints to avoid 3- point adhesion.

Application method: With manual- or pneumatic caulking gun. Finish with spatula or filling knife.
Cleaning: Before curing, Soudal Fill and Paint Gap Filler can be removed with water from tiles and tools. Cured sealant must be removed mechanically.

Remarks

• 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.
