TECHNICAL INFORMATION
NUFLEX 311-SL SELF LEVELLING JOINT SEALANT


NuFlex 313 Fast-Cure Glass & Vinyl Silicone Sealant is a one-part, silicone sealant that cures to form a durable, flexible, low modulus sealant. The self-levelling property means reduced labor cost since tooling is not required.

FEATURES AND TYPICAL USES:
NuFlex 311 can be used for the following; sealing horizontal expansion and control joints in parking garages, driveways, swimming pool decks, concrete floors and sidewalks.

SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION :
All Surfaces must be dry and frost-free, free of oil, grease, rust, dirt or other contaminants that may inhibit proper adhesion. For porous substrates, such as concrete, wire brushing or air blasting (oil-free) is adequate. Most substrates do not require a primer before application of the NuFlex 311-SL sealant. It is recommended, however, that test samples of sealant be applied to the surfaces to test and verify adhesion. After the preparatory work is completed, mask where necessary to avoid spillage onto adjoining surfaces. Masking tape should be removed immediately after the sealant application is completed.
Limitations: NuFlex 311-SL should not be applied below grade, to surfaces under continuous water immersion, to substrates that bleed oils, plasticizers or solvents (e.g. impregnated wood, oilbased caulks, green or partially vulcanized rubber gaskets or tapes), to surfaces in direct contact with food, and to surfaces that will be painted over. (Do not use on vertical joints) NuFlex 313 Fast-Cure Glass & Vinyl Silicone Sealant is a one-part, Use in well ventilated areas and avoid breathing vapors. On contact, uncured sealant irritates eyes. Flush eyes with lukewarm water. Call physician. Avoid skin contact and do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children. For complete safety information consult Material Safety Data Sheet.
