Sealants

When PolyDrain channels are meant only to handle rainwater surface drainage, joint sealant is not necessary. However, when the containment of corrosives or chemical solution is a concern, sealants must be used. Moreover, it is essential that the type of sealant used is appropriate for the application in order that fluid seepage be avoided.

ABT produces three sealant products under the name PolySeal. Each has particular qualities that make it best for certain drainage applications.

Note: Roughen mating surfaces of PolyDrain channels with wire brush or similar tool and clean with acetone prior to application of the sealant in order to assure proper adhesion.

PolySeal 1

This product is a flexible polyurethane sealant, ideal for dirty water (noncorrosive) applications. PolySeal 1 maintains flexibility after drying. It comes in a standard size caulking tube, immediately ready for application to PolyDrain channels.

PolySeal 2

This two-part epoxy sealant comes in twin tubes and is applied using a special caulking gun and mixing nozzle. It is intended for limited corrosive application with either regular PolyDyn or PolyChampion channels. It maintains flexibility after curing. See PolySeal Chemical Resistance for more information.

PolySeal 3

This product is a two-part vinyl ester compound intended for highly corrosive applications or with channel fabrication (e.g. miter joint) when a rigid set is required or with PolyChampion channels. See PolyDrain/PolyChampion Chemical Resistance for more information.
