About Construction Joint Treatment
The Construction joints of the floor are prone to accumulation of dust and water. This leads to growth of microbial organisms / bacteria and also cleaning is a problem. Hence, in these areas we recommend solvent free epoxy joint treatment as a clean room practice.
Superior Flexibility and AdhesionEngineered for construction joints, this product offers exceptional elongation at break and tensile strength, ensuring reliable movement accommodation in concrete structures. Its excellent adhesion provides a watertight seal, protecting joints from water ingress and chemical attack.
Resilient in Harsh EnvironmentsFormulated with chemical-resistant materials like Polyurethane, Acrylic, and Modified Bituminous compounds, this joint treatment remains effective in the presence of water, dilute acids, alkalis, and challenging weather. It's UV resistant and maintains flexibility and performance up to 80C.
Easy to Store and ApplyTo guarantee optimal results, the product must be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and contaminants. It is supplied in a convenient paste or liquid form with customizable packaging sizes and is ready for use on clean, dry, dust- and oil-free joints.
FAQ's of Construction Joint Treatment:
Q: How is Construction Joint Treatment applied to concrete joints?
A: Ensure the joint surface is clean, dry, and free from oil or dust. Apply the treatment at the recommended thickness of 3-5 mm, adjusting for joint size. Apply evenly in paste or liquid form using suitable applicators and allow it to cure for 24-48 hours.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this Construction Joint Treatment?
A: This product provides excellent adhesion, high flexibility (with elongation at break around 400%), robust water and chemical resistance, UV and weather resistance, and maintains integrity even at elevated temperatures up to 80C. It effectively seals and waterproofs construction joints.
Q: When should Construction Joint Treatment be used during a construction project?
A: Apply the treatment after completing and cleaning the concrete joint, typically following formwork removal and before any finishing or exposure to water and chemicals. This ensures a durable and effective seal right from the start.
Q: Where can Construction Joint Treatment be applied?
A: It is suitable for use on construction joints in various concrete structures, including basements, water tanks, and other civil engineering projects that require robust sealing and waterproofing.
