S33900 QWIKSEAL

Crafco QWIKSEAL is a peel and stick pressure sensitive polymer modified asphalt product used as overband crack treatment for cracks in asphalt concrete or portland cement concrete pavements in cold to hot climates. 





Crafco QWIKSEAL
is supplied in a preformed continuous strip either 2 1/2" (6cm) or 4" (10 cm) wide by 50 foot (15.2m) long and is 1/16 inch (1.6mm) thick.  QWIKSEAL is sold by the pail.

QWIKSEAL can be used in highway, street, airfield and parking lot pavements.  It provides a flexible traffic resistant overband crack filling installation.  It does not require melters or pumps for installation.  Since QWIKSEAL  is pre-sized, it is always installed in the correct geometry, without over or under application.

Crafco QWIKSEAL  meets the following requirements:

TESTS                                                                                          SPECIFICATION LIMIT
Softening Point (ASTM D36)*                                                  225°F (107°C) Min
Flexibility 90° Bend, 1" (25mm) mandrel (ASTM D3111)   Pass at -30°F (-34°C)

Elongation 77°F (25°C)                                                           1000% min.
Opening to Traffic Time                                                            Immediate

* NOTE: These tests require heating QWIKSEAL to 350°F (177°C) according to ASTM D5167 to prepare the test specimens.

INSTALLATION

Prior to use, all persons involved with installation shall read the MSDS for QWIKSEAL and follow the listed safety requirements.  Each QWIKSEAL roll will treat 50 lineal feet (15.2m) of cracks.  Pavement surfaces must be clean and dry prior to installation.  Surfaces should be blown clean with high pressure clean, dry, oil free air at a minimum pressure of 90 psi (62 kpa) to remove all dust, dirt, or other surface contaminants.  Minimum pavement temperature for installation is 70°F (21°C), and minimum air temperature is 40°F (4°C).  If pavement or air temperature is less than 70°F (21°C), the pavement surface is to be warmed with a torch or heat lance.  To install, QWIKSEAL is unrolled onto the pavement surface with the adhesive side down.  When unrolling, assure the crack is centered within the strip and that QWIKSEAL extends at least 1 inch (25mm) beyond each crack edge. For meandering cracks, QWIKSEAL can be bent to follow moderate curves.  When making sharp turns, cut the QWIKSEAL strip and butt to the edge of the previous strip. 

DO NOT OVERLAP. 

DO NOT ALLOW WRINKLES OR FLAPS TO FORM.

For best performance, warm the edges to assure a long lasting bond.

Properly installed, QWIIKSEAL prevents water intrusion and the deterioration it causes to the pavement.  QWIKSEAL is compounded to perform in a wide range of climates and conditions.
