Technical Data Sheet – PRIME FLEX – Revised 17 February 2023

Prime Flex is suitable for bonding expanded polystyrene on absorbent substrates. Examples include:

❑ Sealing & jointing of window sills & ledges

❑ Door frames

❑ Roller shutter boxes

❑ Lightweight walls

❑ Ceiling joints

❑ Filling cracks

NOTE: Prime Flex must not be used in the sanitary sector, on marble or natural stone of any kind, in underground applications, on bituminous substrates or on substrates that contain tar or release plasticizers, on untreated (unprimed) metal substrates or for joints that have on-going contact with moisture, such as, for example, concrete surfaces in direct contact with the soil.

YIELD

One 10.5 ounce (310 ml) tube of sealant is sufficient for about 42 running feet (13 meters) of joints measuring .2 inch x .2 inch (5 mm x 5 mm) or about 10 running feet (3 meters) of joints measuring .4 inch x .4 inch (10 mm x 10 mm).

COLORS & PACKAGING

Prime Flex is available in white. Other colors are available by request on a special order basis. Prime Flex is packaged in 10.5 ounce (310 ml) cartridges packed 20 tubes to a carton. Other package sizes are available by request on a special order basis.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

SUBSTRATE PRETREATMENT: The substrate must be dry, firm and free of dust and grease. Clean the substrate with isopropanol, if necessary, prior to application. Porous substrates, such as, for example, concrete, plasterboard and untreated wood, must be pretreated with diluted sealant (4 parts of water added to 1 part of sealant equals 1 part of primer). Before primer application, remove any cement slurry, mold release agents or impregnations. In renovation projects, old sealants and all remains of paint and loose material must be fully removed. The joint must always be provided with a suitable, correctly dimensioned backing,such as, for

Technical Data Sheet – PRIME FLEX – Revised 17 February 2023

for example, PE cord or mineral wool, to prevent adhesion on three faces. To avoid contamination and to achieve a precise joint, we recommend masking the joint edges with adhesive tape before primer application and filling.

JOINT DIMENSIONS: Joint dimensions should be at least .2 inch x .2 inch (5 mm x 5 mm) for indoor applications and .4 inch x .3 inches 10 mm x 8 mm [width x depth] for outdoor applications. With increasing joint width of up to 1.2 inches (30 mm), joint depth should be roughly half the joint width. Make sure that triangular bevels have uniform sides of equal length with at least ¼ inch (7 mm) bonding surface on each side.

APPLICATION: After applying the sealant with a suitable manual, battery-powered or pneumatic gun, the sealant can be smoothed in the joint with water or with a neutral, nonstaining water-based smoothing agent and a suitable tool, such as, for example, a jointing trowel. Smoothing is not only recommended for optical reasons, but also guarantees close contact and good adhesion to the substrate. Remove any adhesive tape used immediately after smoothing to avoid rupture of freshly cured surface.

Depending on the bond thickness, heavyweight parts may require additional securing until the initial strength is reached, normally in about 24 hours.

If adhesive tape is used, it can be removed immediately after bonding.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The product must be protected from leaching, such as, for instance, leaching caused by condensed moisture or rainwater, until a solid skin has formed. Fresh product may be removed with a damp cloth. Clean tools with water immediately after use. Cured product must be removed mechanically. Remaining residues may be softened with water and then wiped off.

Outdoors, the joint must be protected from driving rain and constant exposure to moisture.

The product cures by means of desiccation. High humidity, low temperature and joint depth above .6 inch (15 mm) can delay skin formation and curing significantly. During drying, the color will slightly change.

The product is compatible with most paint systems. Owing to the large number of different coating systems on the market, we nevertheless recommend own tests concerning compatibility and adhesion prior to application.

Technical Data Sheet – PRIME FLEX – Revised 17 February 2023

Joints subject to expansion must not be painted over, since most paint systems will crack due to their lower elasticity when compared to the sealant. If joints with low movement are painted over, the sealant must be allowed to dry for at least seven days.

The function of the product can only be guaranteed if correctly applied in accordance with the technical recommendations given in this data sheet and in related standards. Sealant application in situations with strongly fluctuating temperatures that result in premature stressing of the sealant should be avoided.

TECHNICAL DATA (METRIC)

Rate of curing depends on temperature, humidity and substrate absorbency. The data given refer to tests at standard conditions (73° F / 50% relative humidity). Under these conditions, a 10 x 10 mm joint will cure in approximately 14 days (with at least one substrate being absorbent). Low temperature, high humidity, and joint depth above 15 mm will retard skin formation and curing significantly.

Data given were determined shortly after production, and may slightly vary with increasing age of product and for different colors. They are not meant for specification purposes.
