  • Best Practices for Dow NS Parking Structure Sealant

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      surface must be clean, dry and frost-free at the time of sealant application.

    2. Application

      Dow Corning NS Parking Structure Sealant is not a self-leveling sealant. It must be tooled to ensure good contact and adhesion as well as to control sealant depth and provide a recessed surface. Several devices can be used for tooling. Dow Corning NS Parking Structure Sealant is part of a system that must include the proper backer rod and proper installation procedures. The backer rod must be expanded, closed cell polyethylene foam. Where irregularly shaped joints exist, backer rod that is open-cell with an impervious skin is acceptable to ensure a tight fit against the irregular joint wall faces. Several other back-up materials (paper, fibrous ropes and open-cell foams) are available, but have proven to be unacceptable. There are several manufacturers of closed-cell polyethylene foam and any may be used. When using Dow Corning NS Parking Structure Sealant with other Dow Corning products carrying the Parking Structure Sealant name, please note that these materials are all compatible with one another in either the cured or uncured state, may come in contact with one another, and will bond to one another provided no debris or other contaminants interfere with the bond.
