E.M.SEAL-S

DESCRIPTION

E.M.SEAL-S is a clear silane based water repellent sealer which upon application will penetrate into the substrate for long-term protection and provide water repellency by chemically reacting with the substrate. It has a micro particle size to achieve deep penetration inhibiting water absorption into the substrate. When cured it does not alter the appearance of surfaces and being non-film forming will allow the substrate to breathe. It may be used on old or new structures.

It meets the requirements of the following standard:

EN 1504-2, ASTM D5095, ASTM D6489, ASTM E514

Method

SURFACE PREPARATION

Before using E.M.SEAL-S, it is important to ensure that the substrate to be treated must be clean surface-dry and free from dust and loose material. All contaminants such as oil, grease or any surface contamination must be removed to ensure adequate penetration when the product is applied.

Previously painted surfaces must have all of the existing coating removed to allow penetration into the surface. Where surfaces have been water blasted or washed down to remove contamination they must be allowed to dry out completely before application is commenced otherwise impregnation will not occur.

Cracked or damaged areas must be repaired and sealed prior to application of materials.

APPLICATION

E.M. SEAL-S should be applied in 2 flood coats (wet on wet) at an application rate of 0.25 liters/m² per coat. It may be applied by roller, brush or portable knapsack spray. Do not contaminate with water. Before application, the substrate should be dry in order to achieve maximum penetration.

All equipment and containers must be clean and dry. After use they can be cleaned with any organic solvent alcohol or thinners.

Properties

Protection and Safty

HEALTH & SAFETY

Note: Care should be taken not to use E.M.SEAL-S in enclosed spaces without ensuring adequate ventilation. This material is flammable. Do not smoke or allow use of naked flames when product is in use or drying.

E.M.SEAL-S is not recommended for surfaces subjected to hydrostatic pressure.

Caution: Do not allow water to contaminate equipment or material. Do not apply if temperature is below 5^oC or over 35^o C. MSDS is available at ABADGARAN website.
