Application instructions
a) Melting the joint sealant
BIGUMA®-N10 has to be heated carefully to the application temperature of 150–180 °C in a boiler with mechanical agitation, indirect heating and thermometer. The sealant temperature must be thermostatically regulated and controllable at all times. Overheating must be avoided — it damages the polymers and leads to loss of guaranteed properties.
b) Requirements to the subsoil
Joints must be blown out with high-pressure air or cleaned with a brushing machine if needed, with strict separation of cleaning and application. Hot compressed-air lances may be used for dry-out or pre-heating.
Primer is generally not required. For natural stone with a very dense surface, primer may be necessary to improve bonding — use COLZUMIX®-Haftgrund or COLZUMIX®-IVS. The primer must cover the joint flanks completely as a film. Before filling, the primer must be touch-dry.

c) Filling of the joint
For new paving, joints may only be sealed once setting under traffic load is complete. The sealant can be poured by hand or with an application lance at the specified temperature. Too low a temperature reduces flowability and can leave voids that sink under traffic. Shrinkage may require a second pour immediately after the first. Pour under flushing.
Weather conditions
Prepared joints may only be sealed in dry weather and at a surface temperature of at least 0 °C.
Material consumption
BIGUMA®-N10: joint length (cm) × joint width (cm) × joint depth (cm) × specific gravity of the sealant (g/cm³) = consumption (g).
Primer (when used): COLZUMIX®-Haftgrund approx. 3 % of the sealant quantity required.

Cleaning agents
Equipment: petrol or common solvents
Skin contact: hand cleansing paste

Storage
Store cool and dry; shelf life at least 24 months.
