Thioflex 600
- Chemical Family
- Polysulfides
Thioflex 600 is particularly recommended for use in high-rise buildings and other applications where access for subsequent maintenance will be difficult and the risk of early movement failure must be minimized. It is also suitable for sealing joints in brickwork, retaining walls, basements and subways. Thioflex 600 is available in gun and pouring grades. The gun grade is ideal for general application. It is packed in a ready to mix, 2.5 liter tin containing the base and curing agent in the correct proportions. The pouring grade for joints in horizontal surfaces is supplied in 5 liter packs with the base and curing agent in separate tins. Thioflex 600 pouring grade is recommended for initial sealing of expansion joints and stress relief joints in floors and sealing other horizontal surfaces.

- PACKAGING
Thioflex 600 gun grade is supplied in 2.5 liter tins in cartons of four.; Thioflex 600 pouring grade is supplied in a 5 liter tin, curing agent included in a sachet inside the tin.; Primer P7 is supplied in 0.5 and 5 liter tins.; Primer 7E is supplied in 1 liter packs.
- Advantages
Meets key international standards.; Forms a tough, elastic, rubber-like seal.; Accommodates continuous and pronounced cyclic movement.; Excellent adhesion to most common substrates, including primed concrete, glass, aluminum and stainless steel.; High resistance to aging reduces physical damage due to climatic extremes.
- Limitations
Over-painting of sealants is not recommended because of the inability of paint films to accept movement. However, if definitely required, trials should be carried out to determine compatibility. Thioflex 600 should not be used in direct contact with materials containing pitch or bitumen. Thioflex 600 is not suitable for use in contact with potable water; Nitoseal MS600 should be used.
