SMART BUILDING SOLUTIONS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL
BOSTIK, SMART ADHESIVES
The new logo and the new house style with the characteristic green
gecko is more than just a visual appearance. “Smart Adhesives” is a
reflection of our positioning with regard to the development of smart
and innovative sealing and bonding solutions that are safe, flexible and
efficient.

We develop innovative sealing and bonding solutions that, whatever is


constructed, connected or built, are smarter and can adjust better to
the forces and challenges in our daily life.

THE GECKO - INSPIRING ADHESION


For centuries, scientists have been inspired by geckos because of their
unique bonding mechanism. They can stick to almost any surface, can
climb super-fast against smooth polished glass and can easily carry
their entire body weight with just one toe.

The Bostik gecko is flexible, easy to adapt to environments, is open


to new situations and is courageous. It symbolizes Bostik’s smart and
innovative sealing and bonding solutions for the challenges which
today’s market faces.

1. This guideline to be adopted as good working practice and to be read in conjunction


with the “Directions of Use” mentioned in product data sheet.

2. Store material in a temperature-controlled environment avoiding exposure to direct


sunlight.

3. Application should not be done during the hottest time of the day and necessary
temporary shading shall be arranged.

4. Keep equipment under normal temperature as it will come into direct contact with the
material.

5. Availability of required material and labor should be pre-planned and adequate for
carrying out the application continuously.

V. APPLICATION PROCEDURE

1. JOINT PREPARATION

1.1. Joint surface should be dry and cleaned to remove deleterious substances (dust,
laitance, grease, release agents, curing compounds, old sealant, etc.) which
might interfere with adhesion. To ensure thorough cleaning, wipe substrates with
BOSTIK T100 UNIVERSAL CLEANER.

Note: For BOSTIK P360, we recommend to avoid applying the sealant if the humidity is
very high, or if the difference between ambient temperature and dew point is less than
3°C.

1.2. BOSTIK P360 adheres perfectly without the use of a primer to most non-porous
substrates. Porous substrates shall be pre-treated with Bostik T300 UNIVERSAL
PRIMER. Allow the primer to dry prior application of the sealant.

1.3. Backing rod or joint filler shall be placed tightly into the joint to facilitate in
achieving the required depth of sealant. To ensure tightness, backing rod shall
be ~25% larger than the joint width. If closed-cell polyethylene foam is used,
avoid puncturing/damaging the foam surface, as it will cause the foam propellant
gas to escape, causing bubbles/voids in the sealant. For shallow joints,
polyethylene tape or masking tape can be used as joint backer, to avoid 3-way
adhesion.

Note: For joint depth, the general rule is to use 1:1 (joint width to depth ratio) for joints up
to 10mm wide. For joints wider than 10mm, the depth is the width divided by 3 plus 6mm.

1.4. Masking tape shall be fixed on either side of joint and care should be exercised
to place the tape precisely to the edge of the joint.

1.5. We always recommend to test adhesion prior to application, to check for


substrate compatibility.

2|Page www.bostik.com
2. SEALANT APPLICATION

2.1. Depending on sealant format (cartridge or sausage), the correct dispenser


(sealant gun) shall be used. For sausage sealants, inspect for lumps, hardened
material or poor foil seam quality prior inserting into the gun.

2.2. Cut the tip of the cartridge/sausage and insert into the gun.

2.3. Cut the provided nozzle diagonally according to the joint width dimension. Close
the lid (for closed barrel gun).

2.4. Extrude an ample amount of sealant before applying it into large linear joint to
inspect for lumps or hardened sealant.

2.5. Extrude the sealant into the joint at an angle of 45 degrees filling the joint
correctly. It is important to fill the entire joint. This can be done by applying
sufficient sealant to the back of the joint or the backer rod. This causes the
sealant to be pressed to both sides of the joint, creating a good surface for
bonding between sealant and joint.

3. TOOLING & FINISHING

3.1. Tool the exposed surface of the sealant to a smooth finish and achieve a slightly
concave profile using putty knife and metal/plastic/wooden spatula.

3.2. Remove the masking tape slowly preventing any contamination at sealant’s
surface.

3.3. For any uneven or non-contact sealant to concrete, spray Bostik T500 Finishing
Soap on sealant’s surface, then tool properly to have perfectly smooth surface.

3.4. Excess sealant if any shall be scrapped off before the sealant cures.

4. OVER-PAINTING

4.1. If sealant shall be over-painted, sealant shall be allowed to cure for at least 3
days.

4.2. For optimal adhesion, we recommend to slightly sand the sealant surface to
improve mechanical bonding.

4.3. Compatibility test shall be conducted prior application of the paint or coating over
the sealant. This can be done by applying a small strip of the paint over the cured
sealant and check adhesion and sealant migration into the coating, as well any
adverse reactions.

VI. CLEANING

Uncured material and tools can be cleaned by using BOSTIK T100 UNIVERSAL CLEANER.
Cured material can only be mechanically removed. Hands can be cleaned with BOSTIK T150
CLEANING WIPES.

The formaldehyde result is based on chamber testing and DNPH sampling according to ISO 16000. The result is therefore not directly
according to the EN 717-1, and there are a few small deviations from EN 717-1 (see section on general deviations). The testing is in
accordance with conclusions presented in CEN TC351 WG2 N174 where the difference and compatibility between EN 717-1 and ISO
16000 are empirically and theoretically analysed. For results close to the limit value it is recommended to perform an EN 717-1 test for
verification.

7.6 Description of VOC Emission Test
7.6.1 Test Chamber
The test chamber is made of stainless steel. A multi-step air clean-up is performed before loading the
chamber, and a blank check of the empty chamber is performed.
The chamber operation parameters are as described in the test method section. (CEN/TS 16516, ISO
16000-9, internal method no.: 71M549811).

7.6.2 Expression of the Test Results


All test results are calculated as specific emission rate, and as extrapolated air concentration in the
European Reference Room (CEN/TS 16516, AgBB, EMICODE, M1 and Indoor Air Comfort).

7.6.3 Testing of Carcinogenic VOCs


The emission of carcinogens (EU Categories C1A and C1B, as per European law) is tested by drawing
sample air from the test chamber outlet through Tenax TA tubes after the specified duration of storage in the
ventilated test chamber. Analysis is performed by ATD-GC/MS (automated thermal desorption coupled with
gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy using 30 m HP-5 (slightly polar) column with 0.25 mm ID and
0.25 µm film, Agilent) (CEN/TS 16516, ISO 16000-6, internal methods no.: 71M549812 / 71M542808B).

All identified carcinogenic VOCs are listed; if a carcinogenic VOC is not listed then it has not been detected.
Quantification is performed using the TIC signal and authentic response factors, or the relative response
factors relative to toluene for the individual compounds.

This test only covers substances that can be adsorbed on Tenax TA and can be thermally desorbed. If other
emissions occur, then these substances cannot be detected (or with limited reliability only).

7.6.4 Testing of VOC, SVOC and VVOC


The emissions of volatile organic compounds are tested by drawing sample air from the test chamber outlet
through Tenax TA tubes after the specified duration of storage in the ventilated test chamber. Analysis is
performed by ATD-GC/MS using HP-5 column (30 m, 0.25mm ID, 0.25µm film) (CEN/TS 16516, ISO 16000-
6, internal methods no.: 71M549812 / 71M542808B).

All single substances that are listed with a LCI/NIK value in the latest publications (hereafter referred to as
target compounds) are identified if present. All other appearing VOCs are identified as far as possible.
Quantification of target compounds is done using the TIC signal and authentic response factors, or the
relative response factors relative to toluene. For certain compound groups, which differ significantly in
chemistry from toluene, quantification is performed relative to a representative member of the group for more
accurate and precise results. This can include quantification of for example glycols and acids. In addition to
that, all results are also expressed in toluene equivalents. All non-target compounds, as well as all non-
identified substances, are quantified in toluene equivalents.

The results of the individual substances are calculated in three groups depending on their retention time
when analyzing using a non-polar column (HP-1):

- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are defined as: All substances eluting between and including
n-hexane (n-C6) and n-hexadecane (n-C16)
- Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC) are defined as: All substances eluting after
n-hexadecane (n-C16) and before and including n-docosane (n-C22)
- Very Volatile Organic Compounds (VVOC) are defined as: All substances eluting before
n-hexane (n-C6).

The results are only valid for the tested sample(s).


This report may only be copied or reprinted in its entity, parts of it only with a written acceptance by Eurofins.
392-2017-00227701_A_EN_03_rev1 Page 16 of 18
Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) is calculated by summation of all individual VOCs with a
concentration ≥ 5 µg/m³. The TVOC can be expressed either in toluene equivalents as defined in CEN/TS
16516 and similar to ISO 16000-6, or as the sum of concentrations using specific or relative response
factors. In the case of summation of concentrations using authentic or relative response factors, the toluene
equivalent is applied to all non-target and non-identified VOCs before summing up. Compounds regarded as
VOC in line with the above definition but elute before n-C6 or after n-C16 on the HP-5 column are treated as
VOC, and are thus added to the TVOC.

Total Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (TSVOC) is calculated by the summation of all individual SVOCs
expressed in toluene equivalents with a concentration ≥ 5 µg/m³, as defined in CEN/TS 16516. VOCs that
are regarded as VOC in line with the above definition, but elute after n-C16 in this test, are not added to the
TSVOC.

Total Very Volatile Organic Compounds (TVVOC) is calculated by the summation of all individual VVOCs
with a concentration ≥ 5 µg/m³ and expressed in toluene equivalents. VOCs that are regarded as VOC in line
with the above definition, but elute before n-C6 in this test, are not added to the TVVOC.

This test only covers substances which can be adsorbed on Tenax TA and can be thermally desorbed. If
emissions of substances outside these specifications occur then these substances cannot be detected (or
with limited reliability only).

7.6.5 Calculation of R Values with LCI Lists


The concentrations of detected compounds ≥ 5 µg/m³ are divided by their respective LCI/NIK value (if
defined in the given publication). The sum of the quotients gives the R value, which can be mathematically
expressed:

This R value is calculated, depending on the purpose of this test, for the European LCI list, for the German
LCI/NIK list (RD), and/or for the Belgian LCI list (RB).

All VOCs without published LCI/NIK value and concentration ≥ 5 µg/m³ are summed up as sum of VOCs
without LCI/NIK if required by the standard or protocol.

7.6.6 Testing of Aldehydes


The presence of aldehydes is tested by drawing air samples from the test chamber outlet through DNPH-
coated silicagel tubes after the specified duration of storage in the ventilated test chamber. Analysis is
performed by solvent desorption and subsequently by HPLC and UV-/diode array detection.

The absence of formaldehyde and other aldehydes is stated if UV detector response at the specific
wavelength is lacking at the specific retention time in the chromatogram. Otherwise it is checked whether the
reporting limit is exceeded. In this case the identity is finally checked by comparing full scan sample UV
spectra with full scan standard UV spectra.

7.6.7 Testing of Phthalates


The presence of phthalates is tested by drawing air samples from the test chamber outlet through tube with
XAD-II adsorbent after the specified duration of storage in the ventilated test chamber. Analysis is performed
by solvent desorption and subsequently by GC/MS. Analysis of phthalates is not currently covered by the
accreditation (Internal methods no.: 71M549812 / 71M546060).

The results are only valid for the tested sample(s).

7.7 Quality Assurance
Before loading the test chamber, a blank check of the empty chamber is performed and compliance with
background concentrations in accordance with CEN/TS 16516 / ISO 16000-9 is determined.

Air sampling at the chamber outlet and subsequent analysis is performed in duplicate. Relative humidity,
temperature and air change rate in the chambers is logged every 5 minutes and checked daily. A double
determination is performed on random samples at a regular interval and results are registered in a control
chart to ensure the uncertainty and reproducibility of the method.

The stability of the analytical system is checked by a general function test of device and column, and by use
of control charts for monitoring the response of individual substances prior to each analytical sequence.

7.8 Accreditation
The testing methods described above are accredited on line with EN ISO/IEC 17025 by DANAK (no. 522).
This accreditation is valid worldwide due to mutual approvals of the national accreditation bodies (ILAC/IAF,
see also www.eurofins.com/galten.aspx#accreditation.

Not all parameters are covered by this accreditation. The accreditation does not cover parameters marked
with an asterisk (*), however analysis of these parameters is conducted at the same level of quality as for the
accredited parameters.

7.9 Uncertainty of the Test Method


The relative standard deviation of the overall analysis is 22%. The expanded uncertainty Um equals 2 x
RSD. For further information please visit www.eurofins.dk/uncertainty.

Use
Use classifications related to joint substrates are designat-
ed as follows:

- Use T classifies sealants designed for joints in surfaces


subject to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
- Use NT classifies sealants designed for nontraffic
exposures.
- Uses M, G, and A refer to sealants that remain adhered,
within given parameters, to various standard specimens
including, respectively, mortar (M), glass (G), and
aluminum (A) when tested for cyclic movement and
adhesion-in-peel. It is important to understand that
the specimens related to these designations are not
those specified for the Project but those that comply
with restrictive material specifications in the ASTM test
methods. Mortar is always Portland cement mortar,
glass is clear float glass, and aluminium is clear anodized
aluminium of a specific alloy. These standard substrates
are covered in ASTM C 1375, Guide of Substrates Used in
Testing Building Seals and Sealants.
- Use O refers to substrate materials other than M, G, and
A. Unless it is definitely known that the joint substrate
materials for the Project are identical to the materials
designated by M, G, and A, retain Use O.

How to calculate a
joint dimension

Joint movement can be caused by many factors: wind loading, deformation or displacement of the building
frame, vibrations and of course thermal expansion and contraction as well as subsequent movement from
moisture absorption and evaporation. It is generally recognized that the movement expected in a sealant joint
determines the design dimensions and frequency of the joints.

Joint movement, caused by thermal expansion and


contraction, can be determined by a coefficient of
linear expansion formula. The coefficient of expan-
sion is simply defined as the amount a given mate-
rial increases or decreases in size with temperature
changes. The composition of building materials, their
length, and the temperature gradient (or rate of
change) all determine the degree of expansion and
contraction. The amount of expected movement
in a substrate is one of the factors that determines Example 2: Expansion of the building materials due to
