FAQs

Can this sealant be used underwater?

While it is waterproof, it is not specifically designed for continuous underwater immersion applications. It is best suited for sealing joints that may be exposed to moisture or weather.

How long does it take to cure?

Curing time varies depending on temperature, humidity, and bead size, but typically it skins over in about 30-60 minutes and fully cures within 24-48 hours.

Is it suitable for sealing around windows?

Yes, it is suitable for sealing joints around windows and doors in building construction, providing a durable and weatherproof seal.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Unopened cartridges typically have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Can I use this on plastics?

It adheres to many common building plastics, but it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and adhesion.

How do I remove uncured sealant?

Uncured sealant can be wiped away with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a solvent recommended for polyurethane might be necessary, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the difference between Polyflex HM and other sealants?

Polyflex HM is a polyurethane-based sealant known for its strong adhesion, durability, and flexibility, making it suitable for structural joints and applications where painting over is desired.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not dispensing

Ensure the cartridge is properly seated in the sealant gun and the nozzle tip has been cut open sufficiently. Check if the internal seal of the cartridge has been broken.

Poor adhesion to surface

Verify that the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or other contaminants. Lightly abrading the surface may improve adhesion on smooth materials.

Uneven sealant bead

Maintain a consistent speed and angle while applying the sealant. Practice on a scrap piece of material. Use a smoothing tool to create a uniform finish immediately after application.

Sealant remains tacky after application

This can occur in very humid conditions or if the sealant was applied too thickly. Ensure adequate ventilation and refer to the product's specified curing time, which can vary with temperature and humidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile for a wide range of applications and substrates.
  • Excellent waterproofing capabilities for joints.
  • Can be painted over for aesthetic integration.
  • Durable performance in various weather conditions.
  • Low odour makes application more pleasant.

Cons

  • Requires a sealant gun for application.
  • Polyurethane-based, which might have specific curing requirements.
  • Can be messier to clean up than silicone sealants if not wiped immediately.
  • May require surface preparation (cleaning, priming) for optimal adhesion.
  • Not suitable for all flexible joints where extreme movement is expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Siroflex Polyflex HM Polyurethane Sealant, you will need a standard sealant gun. Cut the nozzle tip at an angle to achieve the desired bead size. Puncture the inner seal before loading the cartridge into the gun. Apply consistent pressure to the trigger to dispense the sealant.

Compatibility: This sealant is compatible with a wide range of building materials including most metals, wood, concrete, and some plastics. It is recommended to test adhesion on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on sensitive materials or painted surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant.

Care: For best results, apply in temperatures between 5°C and 30°C. Smooth the applied bead immediately after application using a wet tool or finger. For cleanup of excess uncured sealant, use a damp cloth or appropriate solvent (refer to product-specific recommendations). Once cured, the sealant can be painted over with most water-based and solvent-based paints. Cured sealant can be removed mechanically.
