SEALTIGHT® 3405-M

POLYMERIC COMPOUND

Technical Description
SEALTIGHT 3405-Modified Low-Modulus Polymeric Compound is a quality, hot-applied, single-component sealer designated to effectively seal cracks and joints in both Portland Cement and asphaltic concrete surfaces. Provides a soft, flexible crack and joint sealer that remains pliable. Will not become brittle and crack in cold weather nor track in warm weather.

APPLICATION
SEALTIGHT 3405-M should be melted in an oil-jacketed melter/applicator equipped with an agitator and separate temperature thermometers for oil bath and melting vat. Sealing may be done at air temperatures of 40ºF (4ºC) or higher. (NOTE: Application of sealant into frozen or wet pavement will result in loss of bond and premature failure of the sealant.)

Surface Preparation
The joints and cracks to be sealed must be clean and dry. Dust, dirt and laitance should be removed prior to application.

ASPHALTIC PAVEMENT and MAINTENANCE SEALING: For ideal sealing, with maximum effectiveness, it is suggested that cracks or joints should be routed out to provide a sealant reservoir 1/2" (12.7mm) wide with a minimum depth of 1/2" (12.7mm). This provides for a 1:1 width-to-depth ratio. For joints 1" (25.4mm) wide, the suggested depth is 1/2" (12.7mm) minimum.

Proper routing should be slightly larger than existing crack/joint to ensure proper adhesion to sidewalls. The sealant should be applied into the crack/joint from the bottom up, slightly overfilling. Once applied, a follow-up should be done with a soft rubber, U-shaped squeege to form a wipe zone of approximately 3-4 inches (76.2-101.6mm) wide along the crack/joint and flush with the highway or pavement surface. To control and maintain the suggested joint depth and sealant usage, SEALTIGHT CERA-ROD Heat-Resistant Backer Rod may be installed in the joint opening.

NEW CONCRETE PAVEMENT SEALING: Typical joint configuration should be 3/8" (9.54mm) wide with a minimum 1/2" (12.7mm) depth for an approximate 1:1 width-to-depth ratio. Designated joint width and depth is determined by the appropriate highway or pavement authority. SEALTIGHT CERA-ROD Heat-Resistant Backer Rod may be installed in the joint opening to control depth and sealant usage.

Packaging
55 lb. cartons containing two 27.5 pound blocks individually wrapped in poly bag liners.

Precautions
Do not heat material to over 390ºF or polymer degradation and gelation may occur. Reheating or prolonged heating (in excess of 6 hours) without the addition of fresh material could cause the material to gel in the application equipment. A rapid increase in viscosity or stringiness signals the approach of gelation and the material should be promptly discarded.
