Store in a cool (at 5ºC to 25ºC), dry place and keep away from all sources of heat and sunlight. In tropical or hot climates, store in air-conditioned rooms. The shelf life is up to 12 months from date of manufacture, in un-opened condition and if stored as per recommendations. Excessive exposure to sunlight, heat and humidity, will result in the deterioration of the quality of the product and reduce its shelf life.

The width of the joint should be a minimum of 4 times the anticipated movement but within the maximum width requirements. Joints with cyclic movement should have a width to depth ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 for static joints. The joint depth shall not exceed the width.

The joint width and depth should be maintained as suggested:

JOINT WIDTH 
5 mm (Minimum)
50 mm (Maximum)

JOINT DEPTH
5 mm (Minimum)
25 mm (Maximum)

Note : Wider joint widths may be applicable but check with CORKJOINT for verification. Final joint sizes/geometry should be verified and approved by the Project’s Design Engineer.

• J-Seal® PS-100 has a movement accommodation factor (MAF) of 25%. It can be applied in joints of 5mm to 60mm wide and 10mm to 25mm deep.
• Minimum sealant depth :
  5mm : Impervious substrates.
  10mm : All porous substrates.
  20mm : Traffic and hydrostatic joints.
• Movement joints should be designed to allow a sealant width to depth ratio of 2:1.
• In order to acc ommodate movement over the full width of the sealant, it must be debonded.
• Joints in concrete pavements are subject to vehicular traffic. Joint sealants should therefore always be fully supported and the sealant recessed to ensure that, at no time during the movement cycle, will
• the sealant extrude above the level of the pavement surface.
• For maximum performance, joint edges must be primed with J-Seal® PS Primer

J-Seal® PS-100 is not recommended for:

•  Overhead joints.
• Movement joints having a Movement Accomodation Factor (MAF) of > 25%.
  Over painting with enamel or rigid paints (paint compatibility with sealant shall be checked prior to painting).
• Applied in joints wider than 50mm.
  Applied in joints less than 5mm in width and depth.
• Use for glazing applications.
• High and/or sharp point loads.
  Do not apply in rain or wet conditions, or at temperatures below 5ºC.
• Do not part mix.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Corkjoint provides detailed method statements on all its products for use in various applications. These must be referred to prior to starting work. The information below is a summary intended for guidance only.

JOINT PREPARATION
Joints should be accurately formed and joint edges must be sound, dry and free from any contaminants. The joint sides must be prepared by grit blasting, grinding or by wire brushing to produce a rough clean surface. Care should be taken to ensure that the joint is formed to the required depth and any expansion joint filler is tightly packed in place.

PRIMING
Use J-Seal® PS Primer. The primer should be applied to the joint sides using a clean, dry paint brush. Work the primer well into the substrate. After application of primer, debond the joint using siliconized debonding tape over the joint filler board. J-Seal® PS-100 should be applied once the primer is touch dry. The sealant should be applied between 1 and 3 hours after priming. If the primer is left to dry longer than 3 hours, the surfaces must be re-primed prior to applying the sealan.

GUN GRADE
The curing agent and base are packed in a single pack separated by the color paste. Mix with a J-Seal mixing paddle using a slow speed drill (400 to 500 rpm). Mix for 3 to four minutes to ensure complete mixing.

POURING GRADE
Add the entire contents of Part A (curing agent) to Part B (base component) and mix with a J-Seal mixing paddle using a slow speed drill (400 to 500rpm). Mix for 3 to 4 minutes to ensure complete mixing.

GUN GRADE
Apply using a sealant gun or direct from the can using a spatula.

POURING GRADE
Apply using a sealant gun designed for pouring grade sealants, or use direct from the can. The joint sealant should be slightly recessed.

CLEANING
Clean equipment using a solvent cleaner. Remove all excess sealant with a scraper. Any spillage can be cleaned using solvent or xylene. Clean all tools and equipment using similar solvents immediately after the tooling. Hardened materials can only be removed mechanically.

LIMITATIONS

• Do not part mix.
• Do not apply in rain or wet conditions or at temperatures below 0ºC.
• Do not use in contact with asphalt.
• Do not expose to aggressive chemicals.
• Do not fully immerse the joint sealant until full cure is achieved.
• Use in swimming pools is limited to pools that pre-mix the chemical additives prior to dosing to the pool.

Do not apply primer near smoke or naked flame. In case of fire, extinguish with carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.

As with all construction chemical products caution should be exercised. Protective clothing such as gloves and goggles should be worn. Treat any splashes to the skin or eyes with fresh water immediately. Should any of the  products be accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting, but call for medical assistance immediately. 

In confined spaces or in still air conditions, the use of a ventilation fan or suitable respirator should be used, and the advice and approval of the Site Safety Supervisor is essential. For further information or advice on health and safety precautions, safe handling, storage and correct disposal of products, please refer to the most recent product Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which is available upon request.

Where shown in the drawings, the joint sealant shall be J-Seal® PS-100 high performance polysulphide joint sealant as supplied by CORKJOINT. The application/installation of the product must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, and J-Seal® PS Primer must be used in conjunction with the application of the joint sealant
