Penetrating primer/sealer for use on concrete substrates and Carboline Pyrocrete Fireproofing products. It performs extremely well in sealing cementitious surfaces and is designed to receive a variety of different generic types of finish coats. Some recommended uses of 1340 include the use as a curing compound or form release agent. When applied to “green” concrete it will retard the escape of moisture during the cure period. It is also excellent for use as a form release coating on plywood or steel forms.

FEATURES:

• Exceptional wetting characteristics
• Low stress, highly flexible film
• Very high solids
• Low odour
• Approved for use in food & dairy processing plants (refer to "Approvals NZ/AU" section)
• Compatibility with other coatings & membranes makes 1340 ideal for use as a curing membrane in concrete tanks & bunds
• Also used as moisture barrier coating over Thermo-Lag EPFP systems
• User-friendly brush & roller application

A single pack sealer designed for use as part of an approved Altex Coatings Ltd single pack, solvent borne intumescent coating system. It is applied to cured approved intumescent coatings to protect it from moisture ingress, so that steel may be stored outside with enhanced weathering properties.
It can minimise solvents in the subsequent finish coats from re-entering the approved intumescent film.
When correctly applied to partially cured approved intumescent, Pro~Seal allows residual solvents, retained within the approved intumescent to transpire through the film. Full cure (hardness at Shore D-50) may then be achieved for the intumescent film.

Pro~Seal is the first intumescent seal coat that significantly reduces those risks that can be encountered with approved single pack, solvent borne intumescent coatings:

• Solvent entrapment & resulting blistering
• Rain damage
• Solvent softening from finish coats
• Finish coat incompatibility

FEATURES:

• Rapid dry – dust free typically within 30 minutes
• Extended time to finish coat. May be left through the entire construction phase for finish coating (with suitable preparation) at project completion
• Easy to use – single component coating
• Brush, roller, or spray application
• Excellent resistance to solvents (once cured) permitting application of a wide range of two component polyurethanes for both interior and exterior exposure
• Cures well at low temperatures
• Promotes the cure of the approved intumescent coating, thus ensuring cure can be achieved with minimal risk of moisture damage
• May be finish coated with a wide range of solvent borne or water borne finish coats
