ANCHORSEAL 963
Two Part Polysulphide Sealant
Product Description:
ANCHORSEAL 963 is a two part polysulphide sealant available in self leveling and gun
grade consistencies. It effectively seals all joints subject to structural movement as well as
nonmoving joints against ingress of water and dirt.
Composition:
Polysulphide based joint sealant
Uses:
For sealing curtain wall panels, tilt up panels, window glazing, flashing and metal setting.
Also for all joint seal application where a short curing period is required, such as
expansion and contraction joints in sidewalks, shopping Centre or any traffic areas.
ANCHORSEAL 963can be used in the portable water tanks and in sewage treatment
plants. It will effectively prevent water from entering the sealed joints and thereby
eliminate erosion of the soil underneath the slabs, particularly areas which are watered
frequently, such as swimming pool decks and around planters which must be protected.
All coping joints and deck joints should be sealed. In clay soil areas, unsealed joints may
cause swelling of the soil and subsequent bucking and cracking of the concrete slab.
ANCHORSEAL 963 maintain a low modulus of extension even after prolonged exposure
to the elements. This prevents adhesive and cohesive failures which often occur when a
caulking compound hardens excessively with ageing.
Color: grey and black
Standards:
federal specification TT-S-227 and also USASI A-116.11967- class A and B, ASTM
C920, BS-4254.
Installation:
Joint design: suitable for all properly designed joints following accepted engineering
practice. Joint width must be a minimum of 4 times the anticipated movement.
ANCHORSEAL 963 is having minimum movement accommodation factor of 25%.
ANCHORSEAL Surface preparation: all joints must be absolutely clean. For concrete, sand –blasting is
963 recommended. All curing compounds, old caulks, grease, water proofing compounds, etc.
must be removed. For non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, etc. cleaning with MEK
or Toluene is recommended. Polyethylene rod or polyurethane foam is recommended as
Two Part Polysulphide Sealant a joint –filler and back-up material.
Mixing: ANCHORSEAL 963 is a two part product and required mixing. Pour all of the
hardener supplied into the bulk polysulphide base and slowly mix with a low speed
mechanical mixer and prop for 35- minutes. Make sure that the sides of the can are
scraped to assure that all of the base and hardener are thoroughly mixed.
Application: Apply by caulking gun, hand or pour from container. Bulk sealant can
be applied by pumping equipment. Press firmly into joint using a trowel or putty knife to
ensure good contact. Porous surface have to be primed with Asmaco epoxy primer.
Maintenance: If ANCHORSEAL 963 is damaged after curing, and the joint has not been
contaminated, it can be repaired by cutting out that part and resealing it with Asmaco
polysulphide.
