ES Elastomeric Firestop Sealant - 29 oz. - Red ES129

SpecSeal^® ES Sealant is a latex-based gun grade elastomeric firestop sealant designed for construction joint applications. Once cured, ES Sealant forms a flexible shield against the passage fire and smoke. In dynamic joint conditions, ES Sealant is tested to accommodate up to 25% compression/extension of the installed joint width.

• Highly elastomeric gun grade sealant
• Tested for up to 4 Hour fire resistance rating when tested to ASTM E1966/UL 2079.
• Can be sanded and painted to match its surroundings
• Listed in over 45 UL^® Tested Construction Joint Systems

Features & Benefits

• Elastomeric – allows movement.
• Water-based – easy installation, clean up and disposal.
• Auto-bonding – fresh material adheres to previously installed product
• Compatible with AS Spray for applications or repairs.
• Safe – low VOCs, no solvents, non-halogenated.
• Water-resistant – will not re-emulsify when dry.
• Acoustically tested – reduces noise transmission.

Applications

• Control/expansion joints.
• Slab edge conditions.
• Head of wall – concrete fluted and slab.
• Bottom of wall-deck to gypsum wall.
• Joints and gaps in sound barriers.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
SpecSeal® Elastomeric Sealant is designed
primarily for the protection of construction joints.
SpecSeal® Elastomeric Sealant is a non-halogenated latex-based, highly elastomeric caulk
designed to provide passive smoke and fire protection in construction joints. This material is also
designed to restore sound attenuation properties to sound-rated ceilings and partitions.
SpecSeal® Elastomeric Sealant is engineered to adhere to virtually all construction surfaces
and may be applied using standard caulking equipment or by troweling. SpecSeal® Elastomeric
Sealant dries to form a flexible shield against the propagation of fire. Its premium latex binder
system is totally resistant to water and will not re-emulsify after drying. SpecSeal® Elastomeric
Sealant contains no inorganic fibers, asbestos, or solvents.
When applied to a wet film thickness of 1/4" (6.3 mm) to 1/2" (12.5 mm) over appropriate backing materials,
SpecSeal® Elastomeric Sealant has been successfully tested in one, two, three and four hour joints when
tested in accordance with UL2079 (ASTM E1966) and CAN/ULC S115. All tested systems have been cycled
500 times at total movement up to + 25%. Consult factory for individual system designs and application
requirements. LIMITATIONS: Use product as per manufacturer’s instructions. Use only in applications
per the manufacturer’s tested and published designs or per specific recommendations. End user must
ultimately determine the suitability of the product and designs to his specific requirement and assumes
responsibility for its use.

Backer Rod Bond Breaker Tape
Sealant Sealant
In the example shown above, sealant is applied (over foam
backer rod) flush with wall surface. Back rod provides a
release surface allowing sealant to contract after drying to the
recommended hour glass cross-sectional profile.
This example illustrates sealant applied to the three planes.
Bond breaker tape is applied to one surface to prevent threepoint
adhesion, eliminating stress on joint as sealant dries and
enhancing movement capabilities.
Sealant reduces sound transmission by
blocking path of sound travel

GENERAL: Areas to be protected must be clean and
free of oil, loose dirt, rust or scale. Recommended
storage and application temperatures range between
40°F (4°C) and 95°F (35°C). When applying product
at the lower end of the temperature range, warming
the material to 70°F (21°C) will enhance drying
characteristics. Drying time will vary according
to prevailing temperature and humidity. Allow to
thoroughly dry before exposure to moisture.
Consult appropriate manufacturer’s drawing for
system design requirements. Forming or packing
materials may be required as an integral part of
various system designs. See Table B for estimation
information.
Sealant is auto-bonding and may be applied in
stages. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO THIN PRODUCT
BY ADDING WATER.
THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED FOR
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ONLY. This
sealant is designed to contract while drying. Proper
joint design is critical to sealant performance. Avoid
three point adhesion through the use of appropriate
backing or bond-breaking materials.
See Figure 2 for recommended joint designs.
Consult ASTM C1193 Standard Guide for Use of
Joint Sealants for additional guidelines concerning
the proper application of sealant materials.
