ELASTOMERIC JOINT COMPOUND NO. 69 ... - Sauereisen

ELASTOMERIC JOINT COMPOUND NO. 69Sauereisen Elastomeric Joint CompoundNo. 69 is used as a flexible expansionjoint in acid pickling tanks; in concrete,brick and tile floors; for sealing joints ofducts and conduits; and for generalcaulking and sealing where permanentflexibility and adhesion are required,along with resistance to mineral acidsand alkalies.No. 69 is not resistant to oils, kerosene orpetroleum solvents.CHARACTERISTICSo Forms an impervious, flexible solid.o Nonshrinking.o Resists water, moisture, alkalies andmost corrosive acids.o For use within temperature rangeof -40 o to 250 o F.o Excellent adhesion to concrete, brick,granite, glass, styrene copolymersand metals.AREA PREPARATIONTemperature of Working AreaMaintain a temperature of 60 o - 90 o F onair, substrate, ConoWeld No. 501 Primerand Elastomeric Joint Compound No. 69during mixing, application and cure.Surface PreparationSubstrate must be free of laitance, oil,grease and other contaminants that mayinhibit the bond of the No. 501/69 systemby chemical cleaning. All surfaces mustbe dry, firm and structurally sound asspecified by the architect/engineer. Anyloose particles of dust, dirt and foreignmatter should be removed by brushing orvacuuming.APPLICATIONMixingConoWeld Primer No. 501Thoroughly remix before applying.Elastomeric Joint Compound No. 69No. 69 is supplied in two parts -Component A and Component B - whichPHYSICAL PROPERTIESColorBlackFlash point >250 o F (121 o C)Gel time, 75 o F (24 o C)45 - 70 minService temperature range -40 o F to 250 o F (-40 o C to 121 o C)Viscosity, 75 o F (24 o C), Brookfield- Component A150 - 250 cpsComponent B7,500 - 15,000 cpsVol. coef. thermal expansion 13.0 x 10 -4 cm 3 / o C/cm 3Weight per gallon - Component A8.5 lbs (3.8 kgs)Component B7.4 lbs (3.3 kgs)Physical properties were determined on specimens prepared under laboratory conditionsusing applicable ASTM procedures.

Empty contents of Component Ainto Component B and mix thoroughly fora minimum of five minutes with a slowspeed“Jiffy” type mixer. Avoid entrainingair into the mixture. Mix only completeunits - do not mix partial batches.InstallationConoWeld No. 501 PrimerApply primer to concrete or steel usingeither a short nap adhesive roller with anondegradable core, or a nylon bristlebrush. For horizontal applications, pourprimer onto the surface and spread with asqueegee before backrolling or brushing.ConoWeld may also be sprayed usingairless spray equipment. Typical applicationthickness is 5-10 mils. ConsultSauereisen for specific details.Elastomeric Joint Compound No. 69Once Primer No. 501 has dried to a tackfreecondition, the No. 69 may be applied.A bond breaker should be installed in thebottom of the joint prior to pouring No. 69.Polyethylene foam backer rods that areapproximately 50% wider than the widthof the joint should be forced to the bottomof the open joint for this purpose.The width of the No. 69 in the joint shouldbe maintained at approximately twice ofthe joint depth (W = 2 x D) to accommodatefor greater extension and to minimizethe possibility of tearing.For applications where joints are verydeep, additional layers of backer rodsshould be used.For vertical applications, tape the openjoint and then pour the No. 69 behind thetape. Do not attempt to pour the No. 69more than 12 inches behind the tape. Asthe application moves up the wall, theprocedure is repeated; applying tape andthen pouring behind the tape.The tape is left in place until the No. 69 iscured. As an alternative, approximately1/2 to 1 pound of No. 69T should beadded to each unit of mixed No. 69 andblended thoroughly. This results in amaterial that may be applied with a caulkinggun.For deteriorated joints, repair the surroundingprotective system with appropriatematerial. Consult Sauereisen for recommendations.The repair materialshould be "keyed in" by sawcuttingbeyond the spalled concrete on bothsides of the joint and mechanicallyremoving the loose concrete. The jointshould be reformed when placing therepair material by using a removablespacer; or the deteriorated joint area maybe completely sealed with the repairmaterial and a new joint sawcut after itcures. The resulting joint should then befilled with No. 69 as previously described.
