GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 

Pruett-Schaffer’s #59-1  is an air drying, solvent based, (NON-ASBESTOS) fibre reinforced asphaltic mastic.  It may be applied by trowel, putty knife or squeegee.  It exhibits good surface wetting properties for difficult to clean substrates and corrosion & water resistance. It can be used as a water-proof sealant for concrete or ceramic piping (between the joints) or as a repair compound for holes in asphalt shingled or metal roofs.

 

RECOMMENDED USES

 

This product is recommended for general maintenance on steel or concrete structures wherever normal interior or exterior atmospheric conditions exist. It is designed for use as a corrosion preventative & waterproofing compound over concrete & metal substrates, both above & below grade, exposed to humidity, salt water, oil, weak acids & alkali. The coating is not normally topcoated & is not recommended for exposure to solvents, gasoline or other fuels.  If topcoat is required for aesthetic reasons use 25-Series ceramic acrylic.
