Product Description

CORKJOINT J-SEAL® CJ-102 Butyl Rubber Sealant is a type of butyl rubber sealant that is commonly used in construction and building projects to create a water-resistant seal between two surfaces.

Butyl rubber is a synthetic elastomer that is known for its excellent impermeability to gases and liquids, making it a popular material for sealing applications.

J-SEAL® CJ-102 is specifically formulated to provide a high level of adhesion to a variety of substrates, including metal, concrete, and wood. It is also highly resistant to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors, making it a reliable choice for outdoor applications.

Overall, J-SEAL® CJ-102 is a versatile and reliable choice for anyone looking for a high-quality butyl rubber sealant that can provide a long-lasting, watertight seal in a variety of different applications.

Advantages

  • Provides permanently flexible watertight joints.
  • Low to high temperature workability: -1°C to +48°C
  • Rugged service temperature: -34°C to +93°C
    Excellent chemical and mechanical adhesion to clean dry surfaces.
  • Greater cohesive and adhesive strengths.
  • Sealed joints will not shrink, harden or oxidize upon aging.
  • Controlled flow resistance for application ease.
  • No priming normally necessary. When confronted with difficult installation conditions, such as wet concrete or temperatures below 4°C, priming the concrete will improve the bonding action. Consult
    CORKJOINT for the proper primer to meet the application.
  • More forgiving then a cured rubber gasket which requires perfectly formed joint areas. Butyl-rubber
    sealant has the ability to accommodate minor imperfections in the joint area.

Areas of Application

J-SEAL® CJ-102 used predominantly as a waterstop seal for joints in precast elements that are placed below the ground.

  • Manholes
  • Vaults
  • Septic Tanks
  • Construction Joints (Non-moving Joints)
  • Concrete Pipes
    Box Culverts
  • Vertical and Horizontal Joints in Precast Wall

Note : The product’s design and performance, its intended use, installation and final confirmation and approval for use, must be provided by the project’s Design Engineer and Project Manager.

Standards

J-Seal® CJ-102 meets or exceeds all of the requirements of Federal Specification SS-S-210 (210-A), and ASTM C-990-91.

Hydrostatic Resistance

J-Seal® CJ-102 meets the hydrostatic performance requirement as set forth in ASTM C-990 section 10.1.

(Performance requirement: 10psi for 10 minutes in straight alignment – in plant, quality control test for joint materials.)

Chemical Resistance - Immersion Testing

30-Day Immersion Testing:
No visible deterioration when tested in 5% Caustic Potash, 5% Hydrochloric Acid, 5% Sulfuric Acid, and 5%
saturated Hydrogen Sulfide.

One Year Immersion Testing:
No visible deterioration when tested in 5% Formaldehyde, 5% Formic Acid, 5% Sulfuric Acid, 5% Hydrochloric Acid, 5% Sodium Hydroxide, 5% Hydrogen Sulfide, and 5% Potassium Hydroxide.

Installation Procedures

The following procedures should be followed for optimum sealant performance.

  1. Clean the joint surface with a stiff bristle brush. Remove any dirt, debris, flashing, or concrete high points, which could keep the joint from coming together.
     • If necessary, a joint primer (CJ-200-15 Adhesive) can be applied to improve sealant adhesion.
    Refer to CORKJOINT’s CJ-200-15 Adhesive product brochure for further information.
    • When using a primer, allow the primer to dry before placing sealant. The primer will normally be tacky or dry to touch within 15 – 20 minutes.
  2. Install the sealant onto the primed surface with a firm force from the palm of your hand. Do not over press or flatten the sealant.
  3. For joins, butt join the sealant into one continuous strand by kneading the ends together where they meet. Do not stretch the sealant during installation and do not overlap the sealant at the join areas.
  4. Once the sealant is installed, do not step on or allow dirt or debris to fall on the sealant.
  5. A minimum compression of 50% is required. Greater than 50% compression is optimal. It may take 15 – 20 minutes for the sealant to fully compress. This will vary according to the ambient temperature and the
    weight of the element being applied.
