S-48 EXPANSION JOINT SEALANT

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

S-48 is a two part component system consisting of a base compound and an accelerator, which when mixed together form a pourable joint sealant. The base compound is a combination of liquid epoxy resins, pigments and inert filler. The accelerator when added to the base compound will cure the epoxy resins at room temperature. The cured compound excellent impact resistance and adhesion to steel, aluminum, glass, ceramics, concrete and wood.

S-48 is resistant to attack by mild acids, alkalies, corrosive salts, alcohols and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

USES:

S-48 is not recommended for use in joints greater than 3/8" wide.
