General Physical Characteristics

Expansion Joint Size and Movement:  Expansion joints should be designed with a maximum of +/-25% movement. The overall movement of a joint should be measured at the temperature extremes that are normal for the structure.  Measure the opening of the joint at the coldest temperature and at the highest temperature and multiply by 4.  If a joint opens and closes 1/4 inch, the joint width should be 1 inch and the fill depth should also be approximately 1 inch.

Maximum Depth:  Areas of higher movement, standing water and deicing chemicals should have joint depth of 2 times the width. In areas of moderate movement and pneumatic tire traffic, the depth of fill may be appropriate at 1 to 1.5 times the width. Structures such as bridges, airfields or parking structures that are exposed to wide thermal cycle swings and a high movement potential may exert excessive compression and expansion (pulling) forces on the joint material. Better applications for joints in high movement structures are applications with increased depth of the fill material in the joint.  More surface area on the sides of the joint will provide better bonding on more available surface area.

Bond Breaker:  A bond breaker is often used at the bottom of an expansion joint to allow for greater movement of the product filling the joint.  Use a bond breaker on deep joint fills as needed.

Minimum Depth:  Shallow fill applications have a greater potential for loss of adhesive bond and damage.  Moving joints should not be filled less than 75% of the width.

Below Finished Grade: Keep the installation of the product slightly below the finished surface grade.  Install the product when the joint area is open and cool.

Preparation: Concrete must have a minimum 28-day cure prior to application.  Use a dry diamond saw to saw/abrade both sides of the joint walls.  Assure that the joint is properly abraded and cleaned to full depth of the product fill area. Clean saw-cut joints with a wash-down of alcohol/water mix or other fast flash solvent to remove dust prior to product application. The concrete surface must be dry.  Remove any curing agent, form release materials, oils, wax, moisture or any material that may affect bonding.  Clean, vacuum, and wash to remove dust from the walls of the joint.

Primer:  Use ASTC 6012-2F primer or Penprime 7001.  Consult ASTC for the best primer for your application.  All moving joints require a primer before application of the 3246.  Prime approximately one hour before application of the 3246. For best bonding results, apply the joint product as soon as possible over the primer.  See data sheets on above primers.

Application:  Use a 1:1 positive displacement (cylinder) application machine or ASTC LS pump.
Pre-condition 3246:  Make sure the product is over 72°F before beginning the machine application.  Warm the product in the containers as needed to proper working temperature for this product.  Use ONLY the ASTC recommended static mixing units for this product.  Important:  Monitor the static mixing wand during the application and change static mixers when product build-up is observed. Failure to do the above may result in improper product mixing.

Filling:  Fill the joint from the bottom of the joint, fill depth, and fill to below grade.  The product is self-leveling and quick to set; avoid overfilling. **Always mix part  B before using.

Limitations:  Do not use on wet surfaces or expose part A to moisture.  Store out of direct sunlight and store ten gallon kits on wood pallets at room temperature.  Warm or pre-condition product kits on pallets before using in cool conditions below 70°F.  3246 Polyurea exhibits good chemical resistance to motor pool fluids, aviation fluids, i.e. hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel and JP4 and cleaning solutions for short periods of time.  To maintain proper joint integrity, clean up chemical spills quickly.  Submersion of product or continued water ponding over product may result in a low skid resistance condition, hazardous working condition, or slip hazard.  Chemicals, oils, soaps, etc. should be removed from the surface as a normal part of cleaning and maintenance.

Note:  Part A is moisture sensitive – keep away from compressed air units that may dispense moisture near part A and avoid exposing the pail/container to humidity.  Observe appearance of part A in humid conditions.  Store product under nitrogen and seal container thoroughly after adding nitrogen.

Product Description

Penatron 5500 is a unique 100% solids, two-component, Aliphatic MDI and multifunctional polyurea/aspartic amine blend specifically designed as an 85% or 100% polyurea slow system roll-down.  This product is not based on old standard aspartic formulations but was formulated as a result of application requirements for a flexible and chemical resistant industrial product that included Aliphatic properties.

The polymer structure is very clear or may be pigmented.  5500 is non-yellowing, very tough with flexibility, excellent color retention, high chemical resistance and excellent adhesive properties.  

The Penatron 5500 "roll-down" polyurea is used as a clear elastomeric finish coat with good elongation and it is part of the ASTC flooring systems.  

The 5500 aliphatic product conforms to the requirements of the USDA for incidental food contact and is formulated to be non-color changing, clear or pigmented, tough, abrasive resistant, non-brittle, flexible, and quick set with impact resistance.

Unique Characteristics:  Penatron 5500 is a unique Aliphatic provided in a fast set version, a medium set version and a slow set version.  5500 slow set version is intended for use in environmental conditions of high humidity while the medium set and fast set products are used in environments with less humidity and where speed of applications is important.

The 5500 is a polyurea, reactive, two-component, elastomeric system and is highly resistant to staining and tire marking.  Unlike products composed only of Polyaspartic with the potential for brittleness, the 5500 is a combination using components of polyurea and aspartic without embitterment and without hazardous components.

The product sets quickly and has good working time as well as an excellent finished appearance as a surface top of finish coat.  This product is designed as a very tough, thin coat system with high UV resistance and about forty minutes to two-hour set time.  This product does not contain urethane.

Set Time 
The 5500 has a fast set time and can be used in cool conditions.  This product is for professional use only.  Consult ASTC for application suggestions.

Preparation: Concrete must have a minimum 28-day cure prior to application.  Remove any curing agent, form release materials, oils, wax, moisture or any material that may affect bonding.  Clean and wash to remove contaminants and maintain pH 8.0-11.0.  *Perform a Moisture Vapor Test before making the coating application on concrete.  Provide rough profile minimum 2 mils.  Review ASTM D4259 Abrading Concrete and ASTM F1869 Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission.  Seal/repair all bug-holes, cracks and spalls; see ASTC data sheets on 830, 4034 and 3004 (joints). Steel – near white sand blast per SSPC-SP10/NACE 2.  Welds, seams, edges, etc. –   grind/blast smooth and provide 2 mil profile.  Wood, Fiberglass – water-blast and dry. Fill wood and fiberglass cracks, splits, voids or holidays using a compatible filler (ASTC 830).

Priming:  Penatron 5500 is self-priming on properly prepared concrete surfaces.  Other applications may require a primer.  For applications needing a primer use Penprime 7001, allow a set time of about one to two hours before coating with 5500.  Do not exceed 4 to 6 hours before primer is coated.  Use approximately three mils of Penprime 7001 as a primer coat before making the top coat application, (depending on the substrate requirements and chemical exposure of the coated surface).  

Note:  Clear coats over decorative floor base coats and areas where consistent clear color appearance is required may not need a primer.   Always test the primer and top coat for your application and before proceeding with the application.

Moisture Vapor Reduction:  Penatron 5500 may be applied over other ASTC coatings or epoxy base coats.  For the best applications over concrete surfaces, a moisture vapor barrier like ASTC’s CMW may be used as part of a "systems approach."

Mixing:  Use a jiffy mixer and 650 rpm drill motor to mix product.  Mix at slow speed, adding part B into part A while mixing.  Do not change the proportions. Mix completely for approximately one to two minutes maximum.  Avoid mixing air into the blend.   Mix at 1:1 ratio in a separate clean pail, pour out on surface, squeegee and back- roll.  Fast set product:  Do not let the mixed product remain in the mixing container.

Applications: Application range 55°F to 100°F.  Apply the product using a notched squeegee or similar squeegee to move the product over the application area. Hot surfaces will accelerate get time of the product. Product should be back-rolled using a short nap roller, about 1/8-1/4 inch depending on the profile of the surface to be coated/sealed.

**Apply in thin films from 5, 8 or 10 mils per coat.  Do not apply thicker than 10-12 mils at one time.

**Test the coating on the application area to assure that your film thickness will not trap bubbles or cause a haze from being too thick in one application. Recoat time window:  2-4 hours.
Do not exceed 4 hours before recoating additional coats as needed.  If recoat window is exceeded, sand lightly to produce a profile, wipe with acetone and re-coat.

Curing Time:  Approximately two to four hours for low foot traffic volume.  Cure 5 to 8 hours for more foot traffic.  Test surface cure to be sure surface is ready for vehicles before allowing access.  Cure is dependent on environmental temperature and humidity.  

General Physical Characteristics

Note:  Test the product on the area to be coated before making an application.   

Color:  Clear 

Packaging:   Two gallon kits, ten gallon kits.

Limitations:  Best results over vapor barrier—use compatible surface repair products.

Note:   Product may set faster in hot or warm conditions and slower in cool or cold conditions.  Pot life is affected by environmental temperatures and humidity.  High environmental temperature and high humidity will speed the set time and the pot life, and also the spread time will be shorter. 

Surface access time is affected by substrate temperature for final cure and property development.

Do not use on wet surfaces or expose part A to moisture.  Damp areas are primed using Penatron 6012-F moisture tolerant, epoxy fast set primer.   

**Do not use product that is hot or has been stored over 85°F.  Keep out of direct sunlight and store the product kits on wood pallets at room temperature.  If using product that is excessively warm, mix a small amount first to determine the effect of heat on the pot life and set time, cool product as needed.
