Butyl-Tite™ Joint Sealant
Butyl-Tite™ Joint Sealant is an extruded tacky rubber sealant in rope form for use on manholes, storm sewer pipe, elliptical and other special shapes or concrete and metal surfaces. It is a permanently flexible non-shrinking compound and has extreme water and corrosion resistance. Excellent adhesion and ductility provide adherence to practically any clean dry surface when pressured into place.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Butyl-Tite is formulated as a ready-to-use, cold applied, preformed to size material.; It is very easy to apply and is permanently bonded.; It will not oxidize or stiffen and has an effective service life from -40° to +180° Fahrenheit.; Butyl-Tite is non-staining and contains no asbestos fiber or volatile materials.
- Application and Installation
Butyl-Tite requires no special tools.; It bonds instantly to joint surfaces and to itself forming a continuous watertight seal around the periphery of the joint.; Joint surfaces should be as clean and dry as possible before application. All surfaces should be inspected for any structural damages that might impair the sealing effectiveness of the Butyl-Tite.; Because good construction procedures are necessary to assure total performance of Butyl-Tite, be certain the units can be coupled without getting mud and other debris in the joint sealing area or on the Butyl-Tite.; The trench should be free from ground water.; The bottom should be on grade and stable.; Apply Butyl-Tite by pressing in place on the joint surface.; Suggested positioning on horizontal structures is to place the sealant close to the leading edge of the tongue.; On vertical structures, it is suggested the sealant be placed at the shoulder of the tongue or groove, whichever is in the upright position.; Pipe and manhole handling after the Butyl-Tite sealant has been applied should be carefully controlled to prevent bumping the gasket and dislodging it, or covering it with dirt or other foreign materials.; Any contaminated gasket should be removed and replaced. Always butt ends together - never overlap materials.; Leave protective film in place during application and handling.; Once the pipe is in the trench ready to couple, remove protective film from Butyl-Tite.; Couple the joint using sufficient pressure to compress the seal and complete the joint.; When the joint is coupled, backfilling can begin immediately.
