Flexseal PU425
 Apply Flexseal PU425 within 10 - 30 minutes from the
applica on of Flexprime PS100 at 23oC.
Application
The recommended applica on temperature range is 5 C
to 50 C.
For cold weather applica on, store the product in a heated
area at 20 C for 24 hours prior to use. Install polyethylene
joint backing rod to control the sealant depth.
Tooling and finishing should be carried out immediately
a er the applica on of the sealant. For op mum
performance, the ra o of width to depth of the sealant
should be 2:1. Minimum sealant depth should however
be 5 mm.
Shelf Life
Flexseal PU425 has a shelf life of 12 months from date
of manufacture if stored under the recommended
condi ons.
If these condi ons are exceeded, DCP Technical
Department should be contacted for advice.
Cautions
Health and Safety
If Flexseal PU425 comes into contact with the eyes, flush
with copious amounts of cold water and obtain medical
a en on.
Product is non-hazardous once cured.
