PFC Corofil High Expansion Intumescent Sealant
Description
PFC Corofil HE Intumescent Sealant is an easy to apply waterborne acrylic emulsion sealant containing graphite which expands
at temperatures above 135ºC sealing around various penetrations and services to prevent the passage of smoke and flames.
Application Procedure
Application Temperature Range
+ 4°C to + 35°C
Service Temperature Range
- 15°C to 70°C
All surfaces must be clean and sound, free from dirt, grease and other contamination. Wood plaster and brick may be damp but
not running wet. Use mechanical abrasion to clean porous surfaces before application. For extra performance in movement
situations, a primer can be prepared by diluting 1 part sealant with 2 parts of water and mixing thoroughly. The primer should be
brush applied and allowed to dry for 2 to 3 hours before applying sealant. Alternatively a standard PVA sealer may be used on
the surface.
Prepare joint by cleaning and priming if necessary, as previously detailed. Cut nozzle to the desired angle and gun firmly into
the joint to give a good solid fill. Strike off the sealant flush with the joint sides within five minutes of application, before surface
skinning occurs. A small amount of shrinkage will occur on curing. If a flush finish is required, fill the joint slightly proud of the
surface to allow for shrinkage.
Limitations

The sealant is not intended for application on bituminous substrates or substrates that can exude certain oils and
plasticizers or solvents.

The sealant is not recommended for submerged joints or areas exposed to high abrasion.

The sealant is not suitable for food contact or medical applications.
