  • Best Practices for Dow Contractors Weatherproofing Sealant

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      The joint interface must be clean, dry and free from oils, loose mortar, laitance, form release agents, waterproofings, dampproofings and other contaminants. A thorough wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting or solvent cleaning may be required to expose clean, sound, virgin surface.

    2. Application

      Install backer material or joint filler, setting blocks, spacer shims and tapes as specified. Apply sealant in a continuous operation, using a positive pressure adequate to properly fill and seal the joint.

    3. Clean-Up

      Immediately remove all excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint with Xylol or Toluol as work progresses.

      Follow solvent manufacturer’s recommended safe handling instructions and applicable federal, state and local regulations.
