ShaliTex® Sealing Compound
Single component Bitumen Based Joint Sealing Compound
Description:
ShaliTex® Sealing Compound is bitumen based hot applied sealing compound for waterproofing
concrete joints and has the ability to withstand extension without cracking. It has low susceptibility
to flow during hot weather conditions. It is durable and plastic and at the same time offer resistance
to ingress of solid foreign matter. ShaliTex® Sealing Compound is suitable for use in concrete
constructions other than those which are subjected to spillage of kerosene or other petroleum oils.

The material must be stored in a shaded area with minimum exposure to sunlight
and UV.
The containers should be protected from all sources of heat, ignition & extreme
cold.
Available in 20 kg and 200 kg capacity drums.
12 months when stored in unopened sealed conditions at 5°C to 35°C.
As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to
avoid contact
with eyes mouth, skin and foodstuffs. Treat splashes to eyes and skin
immediately. If
accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep away from
children and
animals. Reseal containers after use.

Application Methodology:
• Remove dust, flakes, oil, grease or other foreign particles by jet or dry air and clean the
surface to make it smooth before applying ShaliTex® Sealing Compound.
• Spray or brush, by ShaliTex® Primer evenly throughout the joints and allow it to dry
completely. 24 hours is enough to dry the primer during normal weather condition.
• Cover the joint by plastic film if rain is expected after primer application.
• Cut ShaliTex® Sealing Compound drum and heat it to 170 - 190°C while slowly stirring
the material for uniformity. A 20 kg drum will take 2 - 3 hrs. at 190 - 200°C for complete
melting using hand stirrer. Do not overheat as this may cause frothing. If for any reason
bubble appears during melting, keep the temperature around 180°C for a longer time with
slow manual stirring till the bubble disappears.
• Upon primer drying completely, pour molten ShaliTex® Sealing Compound from one side
of the joint allowing it to travel through the joint as much as practicable. While pouring,
ensure that temperature of material is in the range of 180 - 200°C.
• During the pouring process, to avoid spillage, place wooden boards on both sides of jointand
pour from can with extended spout.
Precautions• Heat the Joint Sealing Compound to a temperature which will permit easy pouring into the
expansion joint above the ShaliTex® Expansion Joint Board.
• This temperature should be well below that at which the Joint Sealing Compound undergoes
decomposition, and should not exceed temperatures as, specified.
• Primers are inflammable and should not be placed near a named flame.
Health and Safety information
When using ShaliTex® Sealing Compound, it’s important to follow these safety precautions to
ensure safe handling and application:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Wear goggles, gumboots, nose covers, and hand gloves during application to protect against
splashes and fumes
1.Handling Precautions:
As with all chemical products, avoid contact with eyes, mouth, skin, and foodstuffs.
Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately.
If accidentally ingested, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention
Keep the product away from children and animals.
Reseal containers after use to prevent contamination
2.Storage:
Store in a shaded area with minimal exposure to sunlight and UV.
Protect containers from all sources of heat, ignition, and extreme cold.
Keep in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area.
Store away from oxidizing agents, peroxides, and foodstuffs.
3.Fire Safety:
ShaliTex® Sealing Compound is inflammable.
In case of fire, use dry powder, CO2, earth, sand, or foam as extinguishing media. Do not use
water.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing during firefighting.
4. Environmental Precautions:
Prevent the compound from entering water courses.
In case of spills, absorb onto inert material like sand or earth and put into suitable containers.
5. First-Aid Measures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and give oxygen/artificial respiration if needed.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, use a proprietary skin cleaner, then wash with
soap and water. Apply skin cream.
Eye Contact: Flush with clean water for a minimum of 15 minutes.
6. Clean-Up:
Clean hands with warm soap water after application.
NOTE: Always ensure adequate ventilation, especially in enclosed spaces, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for safe use. If you’re unsure or need further guidance, consult
with a safety professional or the product manufacturer. Stay safe!

For all tasks involving bitumen handling,
a task Risk Assessment should be
performed detailing the required PPE
for the associated task.

3
PPE should be used when working with
bitumen and should cover all parts of
exposed skin to avoid direct contact.
1. Loading and unloading
4
Always use:
• a safety helmet 1 and visor 2 .
Eye goggles do not give full face protection
• a neck apron to protect the back of the neck 3
• coveralls with additional high visibility 4
• heat resistant gauntlets/gloves 5 .
Ensure that no bitumen can run into the gloves (see latest Eurobitume
documentation)
5
• one piece protective coveralls 6 with 7
long sleeves and legs worn over rigger-style boots
• safety footwear, calf length 8 .
No shoes, sandals, clogs or trainers.

NOTES:
During loading and discharging
it is recommended to wear well fitting
long sleeved gauntlets (see picture).
7
In general, there may be additional
PPE requirements from local sites, e.g. Personal
Dose Monitor (PDM) for hydrogen sulphide (H2S)
during loading operations and lone worker alarm.
