Expansion Joint Sealant
For Filling Cracks, Construction Joints and Expansion Joints in Concete

ELASTA GEL Flexible Joint Sealant Description

ELASTA GEL 6170 EPOXY may be used as a filler for cracks, construction joints and expansion joints. 6170 Epoxy Resin is a two compontent (no VOC), low viscosity, flexible epoxy resin. This system has been specially formulated for use in cracks, construction joints and expansion joints requiring a flexible impact resistant polymer. The material has adequate elongation to withstand thermal movements and physical properties to carry heavy wheel loading and impact. 6170 epoxy has a good chemical and water resistance.

 

ELASTA GEL Flexible Joint Sealant Uses

Elasta-Gel replaces the conventional wood presently used in expansion joints. It seals the joint and prevents surface water from damaging the sub-base. Use: as a filler for cracks, construction joints and expansion joints for repairing spalls and other floor repairs

SURFACE PREPARATION

Step One

Remove all debris from expansion joint.

MIXING PROCEDURE

Step Two

Stir or roll Elasta-Gel, both A and B, in their containers before starting mixing procedure. Resin and Hardener are manufactured with multiple viscosity products.

Pour measured one (1) part Base "A" and one (1) part Hardener "B" into mixing container. Proper measurement by volume must be adhered to completely.

Mix with slow speed drill and mixer. (Use a 5 gallon plastic pail for a mixing container.) Add pigment while mixing if desired.

APPLICATION

Step Three

Fill expansion joint with backer rod or sand to ¾" of top. Pour mixed compound into expansion joint.

Note: It may be necessary to lay strips of masonite or similar material over joint if necessary to open to traffic before material cures.
