Areas of application: • ESCOSIL®-2000-ST is used for the discolouration free elastic jointing of natural stone (e.g. marble, granite, gneiss, sandstone etc.) as well as around wash basins, baths, shower trays, door and window frames in dry, damp and wet duty rooms. • ESCOSIL®-2000-ST does give rise to migration of plasticizers or other components, which can lead to picture framing.

Product application: Once any applied primer has dried (see technical data sheet), filling can be undertaken with ESCOSIL®-2000-ST. Using a caulking gun, extrude ESCOSIL®-2000-ST into the prepared joint. Then, before it forms a skin, smoothen the surface of the applied sealant using a proprietary smoothing agent and a suitable tool. Due to the sensitivity of some natural stones, it is categorically recommended that a special proprietary smoothing agent is used. This process ensures the material is pressed into the joint and at the same time pressed against the contact surfaces. Follow the general rules for producing elastic joints.
Properties: • 1 component • Acetic cross-linking • Elastic • Contains a fungicide • Resistant to chemicals • Weather-, UV- and ageing-resistant • Watertight • For walls and floors

Please take supplementary advice from the current valid technical data sheet. Application: The surfaces with which the sealant will be in contact must be dry (concrete < 4% moisture), clean, dust free as well as free from all substances, which act as separating agents (e.g. oil, paint residues, sealants, cement slurries, grout residues etc.). Whilst ESCOSIL®-2000-ST hardens, no moisture may be allowed to penetrate from the edges or the base of the joint.
