Sticky Topics in Sealant Installation:
Reports from the Field
Specifier Roundtable SeriesSealant installation can be a Pandora’s box of variables and options: substrate compatibility, joint preparation, field and laboratory testing, and joint profiles are just the tip of the iceberg when considering all the choices that must be made for a successful sealant installation. For this roundtable we’ll have a sealant technical representative reviewing answers to the installation questions they most frequently receive from the field, and a specifier presenting sealant specification language that may help address those questions before they arise.
Presenters:
Matt Spelde, CSI - Dow Chemical Company
