PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT is a urethane based low viscosity prepolymer jointing sand stabiliser of exceptional effectiveness with a high order of UV resistance. Its penetration comes about by solvent evaporation, polymerisation being effected by atmospheric moisture. It incorporates a completely unique moisture curing system. It’s function is to bring about enhancement to coloured concrete products, similar to that found after rainfall.

FEATURES

•	Single component - fast cure, ensures rapid re-use of the facility
•	Provides significant colour enhancement
•	Polymerisation effected by atmospheric and residual moisture
•	Can be applied all year round (see application information).
•	Allows pavement to retain its normal flexural qualities
•	Manufactured under ISO 9002
•	Greatly exceeds ASTM D 2370 (elongation test) - fully elastomeric
•	Easy application by Resiblock Squeegee.
•	Proven to withstand temperature in excess of 200o C
•	High degree of resistance to chemicals.
•	PROVIDES EXCEPTIONAL COLOUR ENHANCEMENT TO CONCRETE PRODUCTS
•	Can be easily removed so as to allow easy access to services below pavement.

HIGH QUALITY AESTHETICS ENHANCED

JOINTING SAND REMAINS IN PLACE UNDER THE MOST ARDUOUS CONDITIONS, INCLUDING HIGH VELOCITY WATER FLOWS, VACUUM SWEEPING AND JET-THRUST. RENDERS THE JOINTS TOTALLY IMPERMEABLE TO WATER AND HYDROCARBONS. PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PAVER DESTABILISATION AND RUTTING VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED.

RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT

APPLICATION INFORMATION

1 Make sure the surface and jointing sand is THOROUGHLY DRY and free from dirt.

2 Ensure that RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT is only applied when there is no risk of rain within the next 8 hours.

3 Do not apply in extremes of temperature (below 3o C or above 30o C). For temperatures above this range please consult our Technical Dept for specific application procedures

4 Ensure paving is thoroughly swept and that no jointing sand remains in the chamfers of the pavers

5 Apply to surface using a watering can (with the rose) and remove all surplus with the RESIBLOCK SQUEEGEE.

6 Accurate application rates are critical to ensure full joint stabilisation (typically 1 litre/2m2 100 x 200 CBP).

7 In aesthetically sensitive areas wet-cast paving slabs must be pre-treated with RESIBLOCK E.R. and allowed to thoroughly dry (2 weeks recommended).

8 A MINIMUM of 3 hours and a MAXIMUM of 24 hours between the first and second coats. Two coats are recommended to prevent fuel/water infiltration. ONE COAT ONLY on clay pavers.

9 Avoid walking on the sealed area for 3 hours after application and do not drive motor vehicles on the surface for 24 hours.

10 ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND GOGGLES. NO SMOKING. WEAR A MASK WHEN WORKING IN CONFINED AREAS. Please refer to current MSDS.

11 ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND GOGGLES. NO SMOKING. WEAR A MASK WHEN WORKING CLOSE TO THE SURFACE. Please refer to current MSDS.

12 All uncured sealant and tools should be cleaned immediately using RESICLEAN.

HEALTH & SAFETY

PVC gloves and protective clothing/face shield must be worn, plus use of a barrier cream on exposed areas of skin, as uncured RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT may be considered a hazardous material.

No smoking or naked flames to be allowed, as RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT is FLAMMABLE. Ensure area to be treated is well ventilated. If public access is allowed, erect NO SMOKING signs and site fire extinguishers

A mask of the recommended type is essential when using a paintbrush, working close to the surface or internally. Sabre or Martindale is recommended.

Do not apply RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT in the presence of foodstuffs. Once fully cured RESIBLOCK ULTRA MATT can be considered innocuous. Do not clean hands with RESICLEAN as solvents may de-fat skin leading to dermatological problems.

Do not return unused material to original containers. DO NOT RESEAL or store partly used kegs. Material so stored may have poor adhesion, Carbon Dioxide may generate and put the drum under pressure, which might rupture the drum. Furthermore partial or total solidification of the sealant may occur.
