Water Based - Safire Mastic is virtually odourless, and tools and equipment are easily cleaned without the use of solvents.
Environmentally Friendly - Safire Mastic is Halogen free and contains no fibres, so can be used with confidence.
Smooth Finish - Safire Mastic can be easily tooled to a smooth finish using a wet spatular if required.
INSTALLATION...
Safire Mastic is extruded from a cartridge loaded into a standard skeleton cartridge gun.
- Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dust or grease.
- Use the appropriate backing material to set the depth of the seal. Joint width or depth should be not less than 6mm so that there is sufficient material to give the movement required.
- Gun in the sealant, taking care to avoid entrapping air or leaving gaps, and ensure there is a complete contact between sealant and substrate.
- Tool down using a wetted spatular. Store in cool dry conditions.
