Technical Data Sheet
ESCOSIL®-2000-UW
Art.-No. 2 05591
Silicone for underwater use
• Non slump. • Smooth paste consistency. • Oxime-interlacing. • High level of fungicide. • Elastic. • Resistant to weathering and ageing. • Watertight. • Resistant to chemicals and chlorine. • For interiors and exteriors. • For walls and floors. • MEKO-free
Storage: dry and cool, 12 months in the original unopened packaging. Use opened packaging promptly. Packaging: polyethylene cartridges, 310 ml contents (310 ml x 12 tubes per box) Cleaner: ASO-R001 when in the fresh state Substrate preparation: The areas of contact must be dry (concrete < 4% moisture), clean, dust free as well as free from constituents that work as separating agents (e.g. oil, grease, paint residues, sealers, cement slurries etc.). Also no moisture should penetrate the ESCOSIL-2000-UW from the edges or from the joint base during the curing process. • With mineral-based substrates, such as for example ceramic tiles, concrete etc. and zinc, treat the joint edges with a suitable primer e.g. Primer 1218 from OTTO-CHEMIE. • When using with metal such as cast iron, aluminium, galvanised metal etc., the joints edges should be primed with AG70. • For application on painted and plastic surfaces individual site trials should be carried out! Oil, tar and bitumen containing backing strips are not suitable nor are natural rubber, chloroprene or EPDM based materials.
Areas of application: ESCOSIL-2000-UW is used for the elastic jointing of expansion and construction joints in swimming pools, water features etc. or where an especially high fungicidal performance is desired. Not suitable for potable water or fish tanks. Technical Data: Basis: pure, unmodified, neutral curing silicone sealant, silicone oils Colours: medium grey, cement grey Consistency: paste, non slump Specific gravity: approx. 1.05 g/cm3 Application temp: +5 °C to +35 °C Skin formation: approx. 6 minutes at +23°C and 50% relative humidity Curing after 1 day: approx. 2 – 3 mm at +23 °C and 50% relative humidity Shore-A-hardness: approx. 24 acc. to DIN 53505 E module: approx. 0.35 N/mm2, 100% to DIN 53 504 Movement accommodation: 25% Tensile strength: approx. 2.6 N/mm2 to DIN 53 504 Elongation at break: approx. 450%, to DIN 53504 Temperature resistance: - 40 °C to +180 °C
Product application: Filling of the joint with ESCOSIL-2000-UW may be carried out once the primer has dried. The general jointing technology regulations must be followed. The surface of the applied sealant can be subsequently smoothed, i.e. before it has formed a skin, with soapy water and a suitable tool. Hereby the material is pressed in the joint and onto the contact surfaces. The surface should not be exposed to water until at least 4 days have elapsed.

Advice: Priming table: • When using in swimming pools sufficient chlorine disinfection measures must be in place to effectively Substrates prevent mildew and/or algae. Alternative measures such as UV-radiation or ozone do not have sustained Acrylic (bath tubs) disinfecting efficiency. This is however indispensible to Aluminium untreated avoid the formation of mildew and/or algae. Aluminium, anodised • Constant water circulation has always to be in use and Concrete must never be interrupted, even for a short time. The chlorine concentration must not fall below 0.3 mg/l, not Lead Chrome even in places. Iron, abraded • When using acid cleaners ensure that subsequently an alkaline environment is produced as the danger of Stainless steel, rust free mould/mildew is increased with their application. Glass • Protect areas, which are not to be treated from the Wood, glazed effects of ESCOSIL-2000-UW. Wood, varnished • Avoid skin contamination and remove with soap and Synthetic stone water as necessary. Copper • Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes with the Plastic (profiles) uncured silicone sealant ESCOSIL-2000-UW. Melamine resin • Thoroughly rinse eyes with plenty of water and seek Brass medical attention. • Avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact. Natural stone • Contains a blend of butanone oxime silanes and Polyester butanone oxime. May cause allergic reactions. Must Aerated concrete not be continuously inhaled as this may effect the health. PVC • Strictly adhere to all safety measures for handling Soft PVC (membranes) solvent-based lacquers and solvents when using primer Sandstone AG70. Thinplate • AG70: For an improved adhesion of silicone systems to metal, concrete slabs and to natural stone. In combination with metals such as e.g. iron which corrode × = not suitable – = not required on contact with acetic acid use ESCOSIL-2000-ST or ESCOSIL-2000-UW. In combination with concrete blocks and natural stone use ESCOSIL-2000-ST.
