MEGAFLEX PU25 1
One-part polyurethane construction sealant
DIN 18540/F – BS - ISO 11600/F/25LM - BS 6920-1:2000 CERTIFIED

Description
MEGAFLEX PU25 is a permanently elastic, one component, gun grade polyurethane construction
sealant. It cures under the influence of atmospheric moisture to form a low modulus sealant with
excellent adhesive properties and resistance to ageing and weathering.

Certified according to: ISO 11600/F/25LM and DIN 18540/F

Certified according to BS 6920-1:2000 - Suitability for use in contact with water for
human consumption
Conform to: ASTM 920, ASTM 793-91 and DIN 11431

Areas of Application
 Sealing expansion and construction joints in vertical and horizontal applications
 Joints in precast elements
 External walling and cladding joints.
 Weatherproofing of joints between brickwork, block-work, masonry, wood and concrete or metal
frames.
 Joints in walls, floors, balconies, around window or door frames
 Joints in water channels and suitable for hydraulic general sealing with contact with water.
 Bridge and balcony parapets.
 Retaining walls
 Roofing

Advantages
 Permanently elastic over a wide range of temperatures
 Non-sag consistency
 Non-sticky / does not pick up dirt
 Short cut-off string
 Easy to gun, can be easily smoothed and levelled out
 Good adhesion on all typical construction materials
 Good resistance to ageing, weathering and immersion in clensing agents, sea water, lime water and
diluite caustic solutions
 Over-paintable with many water and solvent based paints (preliminary tests recommended)

Application

Surface preparation 3
Surfaces must be clean, dry, free of water, oil, grease or rust and of sound quality. Remove all loose
particles or residues with a jet of compressed air, sandpaper or hard brush. Glass, metal and other
non-porous surfaces must be free of any coatings and wiped clean with solvent. Pre-cast panels
using form-release agents other than polyethylene film must be sandblasted or mechanically
abraded and dust free.
MEGAFLEX PU25 has very good adhesion properties without the use of primer on most
common building materials. Consequently, the use of the primer is not necessary if the support to
be sealed is properly prepared and consolidated.
However, varieties of brick, natural stone, plastics, paints, coatings and other treatments of
surfaces often presents a difficult surface to which to adhere. Due to the number of unpredictable
natures of these substrates, a preliminary test is recommended. If necessary, apply a coating of
primer on the joint walls (U-PRIMER 110 for porous surfaces).

Sealing
Recommended application temperatures: 15°-25°C. For easier use or cold weather application we
recommend the material to be stored at approximately 25°C prior to use.
In order to guarantee free movement of sealant in joints, it is imperative that the sealant does not
adhere to the bottom of the joint, therefore for correct joint making a closed-cell polyethylene
bead (joint backing rod) is to be placed at the proper depth.
Apply appropriate primer to joint sides and observe waiting time to avoid that trapped solvent, in
condition of rising temperature, can blow bubbles in the uncured sealant. For best performance,
sealant should be gunned into joint when the joint slot is at mid-point of its designed
expansion and contraction. Firmly extrude sealant into the joint making sure that it is in full
contact with the sides of the joint and with the backing rod at the bottom. Keep the nozzle in the
sealant, continue on with a steady flow of sealant preceding the nozzle to avoid air entrapment.
Avoid overlapping of sealant to eliminate entrapment of air.
For the successful sealing of joints it is essential that the following guidelines on joint configuration
are observed:
For joints up to 12 mm wide, width to depth ratio = 1 : 1
For joints over 12 mm wide, width to depth ratio = 2 : 1

Finishing indications and limitations

Sealant should be tooled to a smooth finish ensuring a full contact to the sides and back up
material into the joint, this will also contribute in breaking the air bubbles which may be formed
inside the sealant. Masking tape should be used where sharp exact joint lines or exceptionally neat
lines are required. Remove the tape whilst the sealant is still soft.
MEGAFLEX PU25 may be painted. However some coatings may crack if movement occurs,
preliminary tests recommended.
Avoid exposure to high levels of chlorine (avoid to seal joints in chlorinated swimming pools).
Do not cure in the presence of curing silicone sealants.
Avoid contact with alcohol and other solvent cleaners during cure.

Application

Finishing indications and limitations 4

Do not apply when moisture or vapour transmission condition exists from the substrate as this can
cause bubbling within the sealant.
White colour tends to yellow slightly when exposed to ultraviolet rays.
The ultimate performance of MEGAFLEX PU25 depends on good joint design and proper
application with joint surfaces properly prepared.

Cleaning of equipment
Clean tools with acetone or alcohol immediately after use. Cured material can only be removed
mechanically.

Personal protective measures

Keep out of reach of children. If skin contact occurs, remove immediately and wash with soap and
water

Packaging
Alu-cartridge 310ml: 12 cartridges per box
Alu-PE bags 600 ml.: 20 bags per box

Storage
MEGAFLEX PU25 can be stored for 12 months in its original packaging (unopened container) at 10°-
25°C in a cool, dry place. The storage temperature should not exceed 25°C for extended periods of
time. Keep away from wet areas, direct sunlight and heat sources.
