Izhora BP-G50 sealant — hot-pour sealant for all climatic regions

The flexibility of Izhora BP-G50 sealant is retained down to −52 °C, so the grade is used in all climatic regions, including where the coldest five-day period is below −35 °C. It is poured into expansion joints of concrete and asphalt concrete airfield pavements, joints and cracks of roads, and expansion joints and drainage systems of bridges. The material is heated to +140…+180 °C without direct heating or overheating; it softens no lower than 85 °C and at −20 °C elongates by at least 357 %. The sealant complies with GOST 30740-2000 and is supplied in 24 kg cardboard drums or 25 kg boxes.

Specifications
