- Limitations
Use product as per manufacturer's instructions. Use only in applications per the manufacturer's published designs or specific recommendations. End user must ultimately determine the suitability of the product and/or design to his or her specific requirements and assumes responsibility for its use. Product Contains Water and Is Conductive Until Dry. Do Not Apply in the Presence of Exposed or Energized Electrical Conductors. This product has been designed to be safe with plastics. It has been used extensively and successfully with various types of plastic pipes, tubes, and plastic cable insulations. Variations in these materials, however, make it impossible to guarantee compatibility. STI strongly recommends that the user consults with the pipe, tubing, or cable manufacturer in question regarding any known sensitivities or potential restrictions before applying this product.
- Maintenance
Inspection : Installations should be inspected periodically for subsequent damage. Any damage should be repaired using SpecSeal® LC Sealant as per the original approved design. Retrofit: When adding or removing penetrants, care should be taken to minimize damage to the seal. Reseal using SpecSeal® LC Sealant as per the approved design. NOTE: New penetrants of a different nature than the original design may require a totally new firestop design or extensive modifications to the existing design. Reseal openings as per the requirements of the modified design.
- Performance
SpecSeal® LC Sealant is the basis for systems that meet the exact criteria of ASTM E1966 (UL2079) and CAN/ULC-S115 as well as the time-temperature requirements of ASTM E119. Tested systems will provide up to a 3 hour rating utilizing as little as 1/4" (6 mm) of sealant depth (1/2" (13 mm) for 4 hours). All tested systems have been cycled 500 times at total movement up to +/- 12.5% or 25% in compression only.
