Product Description: ELASTOSEAL-Trowel is a ready to use fast setting, cold applied, modified asphalt emulsion system using exact formulated polymers providing unique elastomeric performance. It can be installed where solvents and heat are not allowed. Its formulation is designed for creating cants in wall/floor joints and detailing cracks prior to applying a seamless membrane using ELASTOSEAL-Roller/ Brush. Typical Applications: • Below grade, concrete or CMU exterior foundations • Primary and secondary containment tanks • Water fountains, ponds and water features • Waste water treatment tanks and reservoirs • “Sandwich slab” construction Advantages: • Zero VOC’s • No “hot pots” or trailers • Cost Efficient – reduced application times • One component, ready to use • Self-healing • Monolithic without seams • Resistant to many chemicals (contact Aquafin for complete listing) Substrate Preparation: • Substrates must be free of all dirt, dust, grease, oil, sealers, curing compounds, form release agents, laitance and loose toppings. • Only proceed with application when the temperatures remain between 40°F and 90°F (4°C and 32°C) and protect from freezing for 24 hours after application. • All surfaces to be coated should be dry (damp is acceptable with no standing water). Hot surfaces should be cooled and shaded while cold surfaces should be heated and sheltered. • For proper adhesion, concrete substrates must have a minimum CSP – 3 (concrete surface profile) per ICRI guidelines. • All loose particles and/or flaking coatings must be removed by sandblasting, water-blasting or other mechanical means. • All detail work and tape application must be completed before application of membrane can be started.
Mixing: For best results, mechanically mix at slow speed with a 3/4” drill and mixing paddle. Mix at slow speeds (not exceeding 500 rpm) to prevent entraining air for a minimum 15 minutes for a 5 gallon pail, and 5 minutes for a 1 gallon can. Application: Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation. •E nsure substrate and ambient temperatures are between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C) before application. Do not apply if freezing temperatures are exected within 24 hours. ELASTOSEAL-Trowel is applied using a trowel. Use ELASTOSEALTrowel for creating cants in wall/floor joints and for detailing properly prepared cracks. It can also be used in conjuction with Aquafin CRACK REPAIR TAPE. Curing ELASTOSEAL-Trowel will begin curing immediately upon application. Full cure occurs within 72 hours at 70°F (21°C) with a relative humidity of 50%. Humidity can significantly impact cure times. Limitations: • Do not bridge moving cracks or joints. • Do not add admixtures or extend with aggregate. • Bonding agents are recommended for large areas as well as permanently damp areas. • Protect from freezing for 24 hours after application. If product freezes before full cure it may become necessary to recoat if cracking occurs within the membrane. Clean-up Promptly wash hands with baby oil. Clean tools and equipment with Mineral Spirits before material dries. Cured material must be removed mechanically. Shelf Life: 12 months in unopened, original packaging. Safety: Refer to SDS.
