Adhesive / Sealant
Green Link
Adhesive / Sealant
is a moisture-curing, polyether, elastomeric joint sealant designed for application in damp, dry, or cold climates. Curing occurs in wet or dry climate conditions and at temperatures as low as 32° F (0° C).
is solvent-free and contains no isocyanates. It will not shrink upon curing, will not discolor when exposed to UV light, and will not “outgas” or bubble on damp surfaces.
has excellent adhesion to most construction materials and resilient elastomeric properties. It is formulated to bond to substrates such as PVC, Kynar®-coated metal, concrete, block, brick, stone, masonry, aluminum, galvanized metal, wood, glass, fiberglass FRP or EPS foam.
is available in gray.
Ordering
GREEN LINK ADHESIVE/SEALANT is supplied in 10.1-ounce cartridges and can be ordered individually or in cases of 12 or 24. One cartridge will cover approximately 18 to 20 linear feet with a 3/8-inch (9.53-mm) bead.

Installation
STEP ONE
Remove all dirt, oil, loose paint, frost, and other contamination from all working surfaces. Do not use petroleum solvents such as mineral spirits or xylene. Horizontal applications may require tooling.
STEP TWO
Store sealant between 60° F - 80° F (16° C - 27° C) prior to installation for easy gunning and tooling. Sealant may be applied below freezing temperatures.
STEP THREE
Apply using a standard caulking gun. Do not open the cartridge until you are ready to apply the sealant.
STEP FOUR
Apply the sealant using consistent, positive pressure to force sealant into the joint, creating a bead approximately 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) in diameter.
STEP FIVE
If tooling is needed, do so within 15 minutes of application. Tool the sealant to create a concave joint shape to shed water and ensure maximum adhesion and coverage.
STEP SIX
Sealant will skin over within 30 minutes of application. The time may vary depending on humidity and temperature at the time of application.
STEP SEVEN
Sealant is paintable (latex and/or acrylic-based paints) after 24 hours.
Cleaning
Wet sealant should be cleaned by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
If any sealant remains, then a rag dampened with denatured alcohol, or mineral spirits can be used to remove the remaining residue.
Precautions
Read Safety Data Sheets (SDS) prior to use.
Keep away from children.
Wear proper personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, per the SDS.
