    Dr. Fixit Pidiseal PS 41G and 42P are two-part polysulphide sealants. PS 41G is a gun-grade sealant for vertical joints while PS 42P is pourable for horizontal joints. The sealants cure to form a tough, flexible and elastic seal that adheres strongly to building materials and accommodates continuous movements. They are resistant to UV light, ozone, chemicals and have low toxicity. The document provides application instructions, joint design guidelines, technical specifications and other product details.

    SEALANTS

    Dr. Fixit Pidiseal PS 41G (Gun Grade)


    and 42 P (Pouring Grade)

    Description
    Dr. Fixit Pidiseal PS is a two-part elastomeric sealant based on a liquid polysulphide polymer, which when mixed
    with accelerator (curing agent) cures by chemical reaction to form a tough, flexible rubber seal. It is used for
    construction, expansion & contraction joint application to seal the joint hermatically as it has excellent tensile
    modulus, elongation, bonding, UV & ozone resistance and weathering durability.

    Specification
    Meets the requirement of BS 4254 - 1983, BS EN ISO11600 : 2003 Type F & G, Class 25 LM standard.

    Areas of Application
    Sealing of moving and construction joints as well as joints between different construction materials in high
    rise buildings, roof terraces & ceilings, structural expansion joints running through the ceiling.
    Internal and external wall claddings.
    Sealing of joints in water retaining structures such as Reservoirs, Dams, Canals, and Culverts.
    Vehicular and pedestrian traffic pavements of concrete.

    Features & Benefits


    Vertical sagging PS 41G is used for vertical sealing joints.
    Pourable & self-levelling PS 42P is used for horizontal joint sealing.
    Curing Cures at ambient temperature.
    Elasticity High elasticity and forms tough seal.
    Adhesion/Bonding - Bonds strongly to a wide range of building materials.
    Cyclic Movements - Accommodates continuous and pronounced cyclic movements.
    Shrinkage - Negligible.
    UV & Ozone resistance - Resistant to sunlight (UV rays) and ozone.
    Biodegradation - Good resistance to bio-degradation
    Chemical resistance - Resistant to occasional spillage of dilute acids, alkalis, petrol, aviation fuels, diesel,
    kerosene, lubricating oils etc.
    Toxicity - It is Non-toxic.

    Joint Design
    For various reasons, different types of joints are provided with width / depth ratios, depending on the horizontal or vertical movements. The cured sealant should retain its original shape after the deformation due to
    expansion/contraction. So width depth ratio is very important.
    JOINT WIDTH (MM)

    WIDTH /DEPTH RATIO

    For 6 to 12 mm joint width

    Depth shall be 1 : 1 (equal)

    For 12 to 25 mm joint width

    Depth shall be 2:1 (half)

    For 25 to 50 mm joint width

    Depth shall be half or less than half

    Method of Application
    1 S U R FACE P R E PA R ATI O N

    Joint edges should be sound and free from grease or oil contaminations. If spalled, it should be rectified properly by using polymer mortar or epoxy mortar.
    Use a closed cell polyethylene foam sheet or 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 P R I M I N G

    Prime only on two sides of the properly prepared joint surface with Dr. Fixit Pidiprime A by brush and allow it
    to cure for minimum 20 minutes. Apply two coats of primer at an interval of 30 minutes. After priming is over,
    sealants should be filled after 30 minutes and before 90 minutes. If 90 minutes is exceeded a fresh coat of
    primer should be applied.

    3 M IXI N G

    The curing agent is to be poured in the tin with the base and mixed thoroughly with a slow speed electric
    mixer (300 to 450 rpm) for approx. 5-6 minutes until a homogeneous and uniformly grey coloured material is
    obtained.

    4 A P P L I C ATI O N

    After mixing fill the sealant in the joint using spatula. First, apply the sealant at both the bottom corners till
    top then fill in the center and level it off. PS 41G is a thixotropic material, applied directly by spatula or can be
    filled in plastic cartridges using filling device. Sealant filled cartridge to be inserted in to a hand-operated gun.
    By applying nominal hand pressure sealant can be extruded and filled in the joint. PS 42P being a pourable
    sealant, it is directly poured through the container in to joint, which self levels itself.

    5 F I N IS H I N G

    Tool PS 41G sealant immediately with tooling knife to ensure 100% contact and adhesion with the surface.
    This also helps in removing any entrapped air. Finishing can be done by using soap solution (around 5% concentrated) by tooling sealant surface with soap solution wetted finger.

    6 C L E A N I N G

    After sealing the joint the tools and equipments should be cleaned immediately with kerosene or any other
    cleaning solvents/thinners.

    7 C U R I N G

    Allow sealant to cure for minimum 7 days before carrying out any testing. Prevent the joints from water after
    application at least for 24 hrs (best for 7 days).

    Precautions & Limitations


    Maximum width for application in a joint is 50 mm.
    Do not expose the sealant to high temperatures.
    Sealant will not adhere to substrates with contamination and traces of bitumen.
    Adhesion of the sealant must only be on two opposite joint faces.
    Do not carry out sealing operations during hot temperature conditions.
    Use of shalitex board as a back up material should be avoided.
    Pouring Grade version must only be applied in horizontal joints.
    Application to be started only after 30 minutes of priming the substrate.
