We don’t recommend applying them in 3 coats.
What are Water-Based Coatings?
This is the standard specification for joints using preformed flexible joint sealants.
What is ASTM C990?
This is the number-one mechanical action required for a preformed sealant to create a watertight joint.
What is compression?
Concrete made with ConBlock tested under 200 psi pressure showed this notable permeable result.
What is zero permeability?
This childhood toy inspires professional contests involving endurance, tricks, and the fastest spin.
What is a Yo-Yo?
As a 100% solids epoxy, it has a dry film thickness of 30 mils.
What is CS-98?
This is the correct ASTM Standard specification and type for CS-212.
What is ASTM C877 Type III, Type A?
This natural behavior of butyl rubber allows the sealant to slowly move and fill voids in the joint over time.
What is cold flow?
ConBlock CDA’s crystalline technology forms internal structures when mixed into fresh concrete. These structures are activated by this condition inside hardened concrete.
What is the presence of water or moisture?
The largest Christmas gift ever delivered was given by France to the United States in 1886 and stands 305 feet tall.
What is the Statue of Liberty?
This must be done when applying a second or third coat of an epoxy coating.
What is abrading the surface?
It is the standard specification for CS-1500.
What is ASTM C920?
A swellable waterstop is most valuable in joints where this underground force may push water into a structure.
What is hydrostatic pressure?
One purpose of ASTM C494 testing is to verify that the admixture does not negatively impact durability. ConBlock CDA passes this requirement because the admixture does not increase the occurrence of this cold-related failure mechanism.
What is freeze-thaw scaling or surface spalling?
This baseball pitch shares its name with something kids often get at the pool in summer, and it’s designed to drop sharply at the plate.
What is a sinker?
This is the nominal dry film thickness of one coat of CS-1800?
What is 30 mils?
It is the type of chemical used in the ASTM C1898 Test.
What is Sulfuric Acid?
According to ConSeal, this is the maximum recommended joint gap (in inches) for precast components to ensure effective sealing under hydrostatic conditions.
What is 3/8”?
This is the term used when featuring the benefits of ConBlock MIC. It is based on a factor of time.
What is the reduction of mass loss over time?
This U.S. state was the first to officially recognize Christmas as a legal holiday in 1836.
What is Alabama?
This is the number of gallons of CS-1200 for a single exterior coat of a 16’ x 10’ x 7’ vault, all sides, within 1.0 gallons.
What is 5.5 gallons?
This is the severe wastewater analysis test. Also known as SWAT.
What is G210?
A 100 foot deep manhole has a water table that starts 10 feet below grade. Assuming fresh water at 0.433 psi per foot of head, this is the approximate hydrostatic pressure, in psi, acting on a joint at the very bottom.
What is 39psi?
This is the lowest recommended amount of ConBlock MIC and ConBlock CDA added to a cubic yard of concrete containing 658 pounds of cementitious materials.
What are 79 ounces of ConBlock MIC and 138 ounces of ConBlock CDA? (0.62 G of MIC and 1.08 G of CDA)
In The Twelve Days of Christmas, if you add every gift given cumulatively, you receive this many total presents.
