WHAT CRETE-STIK IS
Butyl sealant in rope form, the ultimate solution for seamless joint sealing in a variety of construction projects.
Designed as a pre-formed rope, Crete-Stik offers unmatched convenience and efficiency, making it the ideal choice for sealing applications with butyl sealant in structures like manholes, wet wells, septic tanks, and box culverts.
Crafted with a specialized blend of butyl and bitumen, this joint sealant ensures robust durability and weather resistance, meeting the stringent standards of ASTM C 990.
Each roll is optimized for efficiency, featuring an improved starter strip that significantly reduces waste during application.
HOW OUR BUTYL SEALANT WORKS
The Crete-Stik butyl sealant should be sized so that the joint is filled to a minimum of 50% of its annular volume when fully assembled, and Crete-Stik should have the ends kneaded together at the overlap. See instructions below:
- Dry joint surface if wet. (Joint surface must be dry.)
- Clean all dirt, sand, mud, etc. from joint.
- Remove roll from carton. (Keep away from dirt, etc.)
- Place exposed surface down/ place against vertical surface/ press against concrete.
- Apply sealant in continuous ring around the joint (DO NOT STRETCH!)
- To complete sealant ring cut off excess sealant with knife or sharp object.
- Cut sealant so that when cut, the ends form a butt joint. (DO NOT OVERLAP!)
- Knead the ends together to finish sealant ring.
- Remove protective release paper from the sealant ring.
- Assemble the joint.
- Align structure section as straight as possible for proper entry of the tongue into the receiving groove and home the structure section. When the structure section is correctly joined, and a compression pressure obtained, Crete-Stik will flow into a solid-pack and
uniformly fill the annular space between the tongue and groove.
