LOGISCELL

|
The
Logiscell Kit
is composed of dry oakum with an
hydrophilic polymer solution. When wet and caulk in a
joint or crack, the resin will foam to form a flexible & tight
joint. It reacts with water and becomes a watertight
rubberlike non-toxic composite. The oakum cord gives
strength and density to the composite and makes the
application of the resin easier.
The kit includes a 1.5 liters bottle of Logiscell and one bag
of dry oakum. |

ACTIVATED OAKUM TECHNIQUE:
1) When mixed with water the resin forms a spongy foam which
could expand up to ten times its volume if not restrained.
However a non controlled expansion could create a low density
foam less watertight and resistant. If the oakum is well
inserted and uniform within the area a good density and
expansion is obtained to fill the void.
2) After approximately 40 seconds the reinforced foam resin
forms a rubbery gasket which becomes hard, watertight and
adheres to the surface.
Note: If there is significant flow within the joint or crack,
it is preferable to soak the oakum and let it partially react
before the insertion in the crack or joint. By holding it
tightly within the crack or joint, the resin will not be
washed away by the gushing water. This technique can also be
used for underwater applications.
CAUTION:
Prevent any contact with eyes and skin. Always wear PPE (gloves, goggles
disposable suit and mask or respirator depending on the
environment). Certain people may be affected by the vapours
during the reaction of the resin. To prevent irritation of
throat or eyes always ventilate the working area. If it is
impossible to ventilate use a mask with appropriate cartridge.
Wash hands and face thoroughly after installation
