SEALANTS

All the join lines (85 metres) are sealed to prevent the penetration of corrosive agents.

In Service conditions it is advisable to use polyurethane sealants (NI Epox 354210 or an equivalent product) to renew the sealant lines. These products dry in depth even if applied very thickly and can be painted soon after (about 20 minutes later).

The diagram below shows all the sealant lines to facilitate the search for air, water or dust penetration.
