Description
Nitoseal 215(I) is a two-part, gungrade polysulphide sealant for filling and sealing joints in building construction. It is elastic, weather-resistant, non-sagging and water-tight with outstanding adhesion to practically all surfaces when used with the correct primer. Supplied in a composite pack containing the Base sealant and Hardener in pre-measured quantities. Colour : Grey
The minimum width and depth of weather exposed expansion joints should be 10mm.
Preparation
Deep joints should be back filled with a non-rotting backup material to which the sealant does not adhere e.g., Nitoseal foam backing, or closed cell polyethylene foam, which should be tamped into the joint to the required depth. Remove all grease dust and other foreign matter and clean joint faces with Nitoflor Sol. Bonding surfaces must be DRY and SOUND. In order to obtain neat straight-edged seals, joint edges should be masked with self-adhesive tape. Brush on primer where required. Nitoseal Primer : Apply liberally and leave 1/2 - 1 hour before applying Nitoseal 215(I).
Standards compliance
Nitoseal 215(I) conforms to BS 4254.

Mixing
2-3 hours 2 weeks - 300C to + 800C Nitoseal 215(I) is supplied in a single pack, the base and hardener being contained in the same tin. Remove the lid and carefully scrape all the hardener and add to the base tin. Using mixing paddle fitted to a low speed ( 400 / 500 rpm) electric drill, mix the two components together for atleast 2 minutes. The inside of the tin should then be scraped with a flat-bladed tool, to ensure that unmixed components do not remain around the sides. Mixing should then be continued for a further 2 minutes.

Application instructions
Using the single hole follower plate provided, fill the mixed material into a barrel gun or catridges and install in the prepared joint. The exposed surface of the installed Nitoseal 215(I) should be tooled with a joint shaping tool wetted with water to force the sealant into the joint to ensure full contact with the bonding faces and to provide the correct contour. Strip off masking tape immediately after tooling. Note : In view of widely varying site conditions, it is
