Torggler’s closed-cell polyethylene synthetic plugging cords are suitable for use as a joint bottom. They are used to adjust the joint depth and avoid the risk of adhesion on three sides, as the sealants do not adhere to them. Their round shape guarantees the correct joint geometry.
Insert the Synthetic plugging cord into the clean joint, using a sealant bead that is approx. 25-30% larger than the joint width.
Make sure there is no visible moisture or any other residues on any surface before applying the sealant.
Synthetic plugging cords do not undergo significant ageing processes, but must be stored dry and protected from extreme temperatures.
