Description
Our newly developed BIGUMA®- Connect joint sealant is perfectly suited for filling joints on road surfaces made from concrete. Thanks to its composition, it offers excellent adhesion to mineral substrates and can be used to fill joints on road surfaces made from concrete, even without primer, which cuts out an entire stage of the work process.
Approvals: TL Fug-StB, DIN EN 14188-1, Typ N2, Performance testing by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) (test report BAM 7.1/17038499)
Advantages
- Primer not required on concrete
- Excellent adhesion to mineral substrates
- Excellent stress relaxation, even at low temperatures
- Excellent performance properties at hot and cold temperatures
- High ageing-resistance of joint
Available packaging
Metal containers: 28 kg

Technical info
Application instructions
a) Melting the joint sealant
b) Requirements for the substrate
In concrete traffic areas form the joint gap (chamber) as late as possible (min. 14 days) after the kerb section. Concrete moisture in the sealant zone must be below 4 %.
Component temperature must be between +5 °C and +40 °C. Surface temperature in the joint area must be at least 3 K above dew point when pouring.
Blow out joints with oil-free compressed air or clean with a brushing machine if needed, with clear separation between cleaning and pouring.
Carry out other construction that could foul joint flanks only after pouring. Use pressurised hot-air devices for artificial drying or heating of the filing space if necessary.
Thanks to its formulation, BIGUMA®-Connect bonds permanently to mineral surfaces without primer. If primer is required, COLZUMIX® adhesive primer may be used—compatibility is ensured.
c) Filling the joints
For concrete joints, apply a suitable priming filler first to set sealant height in the joint. The filler must cover the entire joint base, prevent escape into voids and avoid three-flank adhesion—which can cause tension failure.
After pouring, volume reduction may require a second step; apply the next layer immediately after the first. On traffic areas pour from concrete flush downward.
Weather conditions
Pour only in dry weather with component surface temperature above 5 °C.
Material consumption
Optional primer: COLZUMIX® adhesive primer approx. 3 % of sealant applied.
Cleaning agents
At skin contact: hand cleansing paste
Storage
At least 24 months when stored cool and dry.
