Low Movement Expansion and Construction Joints
flexothane® CTW
flexothane® CTW is a semi-flexible, hard wearing expansion joint sealant based on modified epoxy, polyurethane, tar and inert fillers. Due to its unique composition it is flexible yet hard and is resistant to a wide range of acids and alkalis. flexothane® CTW will bond to a damp substrate.
USES:

Because it will bond to a damp substrate, flexothane® CTW is ideal for use in not only new construction projects but also in repair and maintenance work. Also suitable for trafficked floor joints where constant wheel contact demands a high shore A hardness sealant.
ADVANTAGES:
• High shore A hardness offers protection against
arris damage.
• Good chemical resistance, joint sealing in chemical plants, acid lining brick work and chemically resistant screeds.
• Suitable for new concrete construction.
• Good primerless adhesion.
• Will bond to damp surfaces.
• Good flexing properties with excellent adhesion to properly prepared substrates.flexothane® EPU
