Dr.
Fixit PU Sealant
ONE-PART NON-SAG POLYURETHANE SEALANT
Description:
Dr. Fixit PU Sealant is a one-part Polyurethane Sealant composed of polyurethane
polymer, pigment, filler & additives. It is used for filling and sealing joints in buildings & structures.
Technical data sheet: PU Sealant
It is highly elastic & resilient; weather durable, none sagging, watertight with excellent adhesion to
almost all building construction materials.
Standard
ASTM C-920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 25, Use; NT, T, A, and M
DIN EN ISO 11600 – Type F – Classification 25 LM
Area of Application
Sealing of expansion and construction joints as well as joints between different construction
materials in high-rise buildings, basements, Floorings etc.
Sealing joints in between precast concrete panels.
Sealing Joints in between tiles, bricks, and marble etc.
Sealing joints of metal container finishing.
Repairing of non-moving concrete Cracks and control widths.
Perimeter pointing & curtain wall ceiling.
Features & Benefits
Single Component & Ready to use
Excellent Elasticity
Excellent adhesion to concrete & most of construction material
No sagging & staining
Excellent Weathering durability
Movement accommodation - Accommodates continuous and pronounced cyclic movements.
Can be over coated
Joint design
For various reasons, different types of joints are provided with width depth ratios in
different proportions. Depending on the horizontal or vertical movements, the cured sealant
should retain its original shape after the deformation of expansion/contraction. So width
depth ratio is important.
Width: Depth Ratio
Joint Width (mm.) Width : Depth Ratio
For 6 to 12 mm. joint width Depth shall be 1:1 (equal)
For 12 to 50 mm. joint width Depth shall be 2:1 (half)

Method of Application
Technical data sheet: PU Sealant
1. Joint Preparation:
Joint edges should be sound and free from grease or oil contaminations. if spelled, it should
be rectified properly by using polymer mortar or epoxy mortar.
Use a closed cell Dr.Fixit Backing Rod as a back up material. Back up material is used to
adjust width to depth ratio and falling of sealant while application. Ex: thermocol sheet can
be used as a back up material.
Fix a bond breaker tape over the backup material to prevent third surface adhesion.
Fix a masking tape on both sides of joint surface to get neat & clean appearance of joints
after application of sealant.
2. Application
Dr.Fixit PU Sealant is available in 600 ml sausages & 300 ml cartridge. Insert the sausage
in hand operated application gun. Apply nominal pressure over the trigger of the gun so that
sealant starts extruding out of the nozzle & fill the sealant in joints. Apply slightly in excess
for tooling & finishing purpose.
3. Finishing
Tool the sealant immediately with tooling knife by pressing against the joint to remove air
pockets & to ensure 100% contact and adhesion with the surface.
4. Cleaning
After sealing the joint the tools and equipments should be cleaned immediately with
kerosene or any other cleaning solvents.
Precautions & Limitations
Maximum width for application in a joint is 50 mm.
Minimum depth of seal is 6 mm.
Do not expose the sealant to high temperatures.
Avoid application on damp and moist substrates and at Temperature below 5°C.
Sealant will not adhere to substrates with contamination and traces of bitumen.
Adhesion of the sealant must only be on two opposite faces.
Do not carry out sealing operations during hot weather conditions.
Use of shalitex board as a back up material should be avoided.
Application to be started only after 30 minutes of priming the substrate.
White grade, May slightly yellow on exposure to UV light.
