Instructions for use Slabs Where use to form an expansion jolnt in insitu concrete, Bituoal shall be placed against the shuttering onthe concreting side before the pour begins, Copper nails may be used to prevent displacement in joints in suspended siabs, Altsmatively, Bucell may be bonded to the existing slab or previous pour using a suable contact adhesive. Care should be teken not to contaminate surfaces of the sealing slot with the adhesive, Joint sealing A Joint sealing slot can be formed by placing a removable timber former on tap ofthe Bitucell. Alternatively, Bitucsll can be installed to the full deptn ofthe slab and cut back to the required depth subsequently using 2 power brush machine, This latter method is generally used for slabs which cannot 'e cleaned and sealed until ell building construction has finished. Bitucall should be tamped down fo ensure that i fils the Joint complately and provides continuous support for the joint sealant Important note Geass Ay Heed oice Al Gurg Fosroc ‘phone: (+9714) 039089 LLe Regional offices Post Box 657, Dubsi Srv ee Unie ab Eire Sato wwwfosroc.com Foss poco are gueratee against daecive metas and Consions for he Supt of Goods abd Seon.
