POLEPOX-AQUA PROOF
High quality, neutral, elastic, crystal clear adhesive based on premium AST polymer.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Crystal clear permanently elastic formulation.
- High bond strength nearly on all surfaces even if slightly humid.
- Very good mechanical properties.
- Do not contain solvent, silicone, isocyanate, halogens or acids.
- Good extrudability even at low temperatures.
- Over-paintable with water based paints.
- Primerless adhesion to numerous porous and non-porous substrates.
- No shrinkage.
- Does not crack or discolor.
APPLICATION AREAS
- It has a good adhesive strength without primer on most common materials such as aluminum, zinc, galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, natural stone, concrete, brick, etc.
- For crystal clear elastic bonding in construction and building applications.
- Invisible bonding and sealing of glass and other transparent materials in indoor applications.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Before the application, the tip of the cartridges is cut and a plastic cap is fixed.
- The tip of the cap is cut according to the width of the surface and fixed to the cartridge gun.
- For bonding application: Apply the adhesive in strips or dots to the base or on the element to be bonded. The strips must be applied in vertical rows. Bring together the parts to be joined as quickly as possible, at least within 5 minutes (this depends on the temperature and relative humidity level).
- For sealing application: The surface of the product applied in the joints should be smoothened with a dampened spatula, glazing tool, joint iron or by hand immediately.
- If used, the adhesive tape should be removed afterwards.
- The contaminated areas and used tools should be cleaned with white spirit or alcohol. It is cleaned only mechanically after cured.

SURFACE PREPARATION - STANDARDS
| Substrate | Recommended Cleaning Procedure |
|---|---|
| Glass | Degrease with alcohol or MEK |
| Aluminium, light alloys and stainless steel | Degrease with alcohol or MEK |
| Other Metals | Lightly abrade then degrease as above |
| Wood | Lightly abrade surface then remove dust |
| Plastics | Degrease using an agent recommended by plastics manufacturer |
| Concrete and other alkaline surfaces | Brush and remove dust |
- Meets or exceeds the requirements of VOC content specifications in LEED credit EQc4.1.
- "Low-emitting products" of SCAQMD rule 1168.
- The French VOC requirements for class A+.
- CE marked for EN 15651 for façade & glazing applications (DOP NO: 2016-0004).
RESTRICTIONS
- It must not be used in totally confined spaces where sealant cannot cure due to lack of atmospheric moisture.
- Cannot be used on natural stone. Because the adhesion surface will discolor under influence of the sealant (looks wet) and also this is visible through the sealant due to its clear look.
- Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloring.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
- They should be protected from water, frost and adverse air conditions.
- They should be kept dry and cool on wooden pallets at between +10°C and +25°C in moisture free conditions.
- The opened products should be consumed immediately.
- Shelf life is maximum 9 months conditional to complying with the aforementioned storage conditions.
