Uses
- Dilatation joints in industrial floors
- Horizontal tile joints and filling of floor cracks
- Horizontal joints in warehouses, factories, parkings, terraces, roof works, road works and tanks
Advantages
- Very easy application
- Suitable for all climates
- Bubble – free curing, no yellowing
- Resist permanent deformation
- Excellent resistance to abrasion
- Exceptional resistance to water, UV-Rays, corrosive environments
- Very good resistance to acids and petroleum-based hydrocarbons
- Stays elastic after curing.
Method of use Surface preparation
- Joint walls must be sound, clean, dry, and free from oil and grease. Curing compound residues and any other foreign matter must be thoroughly removed, install bond breaker to prevent bond at the base of joint.
- Priming is not usually necessary. Most substrates only require priming if testing indicates a need or where sealant will be subjected to water immersion after cure.
- New concrete must be minimum of 28 days old.
- Substrates must be dry; application in wet or damp joints will cause bubbling of the material
Mixing
FARCO LEVEL FLEX is a one component and requires no pre-blending. It should be used directly from the container.
Application
- For good performance, it is essential that the sealant is only bonded to the two facing sides of the joint to achieve this, install a backup material (closed cell polyethylene or open cell polyurethane foam).
- Apply the sealant in a continuous operation making sure all air pockets or voids are eliminated. Tool the sealant with light pressure to spread the material against the joint surfaces.
- This operation should be made with dry spatula before skin formation occurs.
Cleaning
Material: Immediately with solvent Hardened sealant: can only be removed mechanically Hands: soap and water
Curing FARCO LEVEL
FLEX requires no special curing.
Joint Dimensions
Joint width should be 4 times the expected joint movement, the depth of the sealant should be ½ the width of the joint material. The maximum depth is 15 mm. Installation of FARCO LEVEL FLEX deeper than what is recommended can cause bubbling or incomplete curing of the material.
Minimum depth: 6mm
Maximum depth: 15mm
Minimum width: 6mm
Maximum width: 30mm

Limitations
- Use only at temperatures above 4°c.
- Avoid exposure to high levels of chlorine.
- Avoid contact with alcohol and other solvent cleaners during cure.
- Do not cure in the presence of curing silicone sealant.
- Do not apply in or damp joints, as this can cause bubbling within the sealant.
