VT-620/ 620S LM MS Sealant
Low Modulus One-Component MS Sealant
BASE
One-component
MS Polymer
DESCRIPTION
VT-620 LM MS Sealant is a general purpose sealant based on advanced MS
Polymer technology. It is a single-component elastomeric sealant with superior
weathering, UV, and temperature resistance. This elastomeric sealant is
permanently elastic upon curing and has a movement capability of 50%.
PHYSICAL STATE
Soft paste
Specially formulated to achieve superior performance and low VOC, VT-620 is
able to comply to the stringent requirements of ASTM C920 as well as the
SCAQMD rule #1168 (Architectural Sealant) for low VOC. It also gives good
primer-less adhesion on most substrates.
COLORS
White
Grey
Black
Teak
Unlike polyurethane sealants, VT-620 is solvent-less and isocyanate-free;
ensuring that the cured sealant will not shrink or have bubbling issues. It is also
free of silicone oil, minimising building aesthetic issues caused by oil-staining
and dirt-streaking problems often associated with silicone sealants.

FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
Recommended for sealing concrete joints like wall panel joints, expansion joints,
control joints, etc. It is also ideal for window frame perimeter sealing especially
when the sealant needs to be painted. Facade cladding designed with metal
panels or natural stones can be sealed with this product too. Other
recommended applications include sealing of anodized aluminum, masonry,
porcelain, coated metal, finished wood, epoxy and polyester panels, UPVC,
polystyrene, and stainless steel.

PREPARATION
Substrate surface must be dry and clean; free of dirt, grease, oil, or standing
water.
Use the two-cloth method to clean if surface is dirty.
For a neat finishing, use masking tapes and remove it within the working time.
620 Primer is recommended especially for porous substrates such as concrete
for excellent adhesion.
For sealant designs with depths of over 10 mm, use approved backing
materials.
APPLICATION
DIRECTION
Cartridges:
1. Cut the cartridge tip carefully.
2. Puncture the internal aluminium foil inside with the nozzle.
3. Cut the nozzle into an appropriate diameter at an angle of approximately 45
to 60.
4. Use a caulking gun and extrude the sealant with a single bead.
5. Tool the sealant bead with a clean and dry tool within the working time for a
smooth finishing.

Sausages:
1. Cut the tip of the sausage carefully and slip it into the caulking gun.
2. Cut the nozzle into an appropriate diameter at an angle of approximately 45
to 60.
3. Place the nozzle into the caulking gun and screw tight.
4. Extrude the sealant with a single bead.
5. Tool the sealant bead with a clean and dry tool within the working time for a
smooth finishing.
CLEAN UP
Wet sealants can be cleaned up with acetone or mineral spirits.
Cured sealants can only be removed mechanically.
JOINT DESIGN
The specified sealant bead size should be calculated to comply with the
compression and extension capabilities of the sealant in relation to the
anticipated joint width due to expansion and contraction.
Generally calculation of the width sealant bead should be computed on the
basis of a maximum 50% movement capability
Minimum bead size should not be less than 3 mm to accommodate movement.
Sealant design joint width-to-depth ratio should be 2:1.
LIMITATIONS
Not recommended for following applications:
Below waterline or permanent water immersion.
Outdoor glass substrates sealing.
Polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), neoprene, and
bituminous surfaces.
Not paintable with alkyd resin paint.
Not to be used on trafficable joints greater than 10 mm width. For trafficable
joint above 10 mm width, a steel cover plate is required.
CAUTION
Uncured adhesive causes skin and eye irritation upon contact.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and mouth.
Use in well-ventilated area. In case of contact with eyes, flush with water
immediately for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Keep out of reach of children.
