DESCRIPTION
ALCO GUARD Crack Sealant
is a high performance, polymer modified, asphalt emulsion horizontal joint
and crack sealant. It is one component, which can be applied directly from
its shipping container without heating or mixing into an opening
1/8" to 1" wide. After fully cured, the product will remain
flexible at cold temperatures and will not flow at high
temperatures.
USE
ALCO GUARD is great for small, medium or large scale
sealing projects on parking lots, highways, street maintenance, driveways,
airport aprons and runways. It can be used in sealing asphalt or concrete
surfaces.
ADVANTAGES
» Meets ASTM 3405 high performance
characteristics » Ready to use from the container »
Can be applied to damp cracks: Saves time....no need for joint to be fully
dry » Can be capped and saved for later use » VOC
Compliant/Environmentally friendly » No expensive equipment
needed » Develops a skin quickly » Compatible
with coal tar and asphalt sealers
PREPARATION
The joints and cracks to be sealed must be
clean. Dust, dirt and laitance should be removed prior to application.
Routing should be slightly larger than existing crack/joint to ensure
proper adhesion to side walls. For ideal sealing with maximum
effectiveness, it is suggested that cracks or joints should be routed out
to provide a sealant reservoir 1/2" wide x 1/2" deep, providing
a 1:1 ratio of width and depth. To control and maintain suggested joint
depth and width, a backer rod may be installed in the joint opening.
APPLICATION
Stir ALCO GUARD to a uniform consistency.
ALCO GUARD should be applied into joint/crack, slightly overfilling.
Product may be poured from the container or a commercial sealing pot
equipped with a narrow pouring spout and shut-off valve. At 75 ° F. and
50% humidity, a typical joint of 1/2" x 1/2" becomes tack-free
in two hours or less. Color is black when cured.
