5. Construction Technology:
(1) Preparing Work
Expansion Joint Clearance
The expansion joint should be dry and clean with no sundries such as foam and matchwood,
etc. Clear away the quicksand and oil. If necessary, clear away the sundries and quicksand
with blower.
Note:
The clearance of the expansion joint is a factor of the good performance of the sealant. The
wet or dirty expansion joint will cause bulge or falling down of the sealant. And the oil or
dust will impact the bonding effect. Thus, there will be separation between the sealant and the
surface under the cold condition. Comens will not shoulder the responsibility if there is
quality problem due to the uncleaness of expansion joint.
Pad
According to the need, we usually suggest to use the PE pad under the joint, to avoid stress
concentration due to bonding on three sides. The diameter of the round pad should be bigger
than the 25% width of the expansion joint to avoid leakage of the sealant.
(2) Comensflex 8279L is packed with the ratio of 5:1. Mix uniformly before applying it. Put
the component B into A, then mix with the mixer (around 300rpm, cannot be mixed
manually). Mix for at least 3 minutes to assure the materials uniformly mixed. (Note:
scrape the adhering material deposited on the side or bottom of the drum). Put the
mixture into a new container according to the consumption, then mix for one more
minute.
