Foster Flextra 95-50 Sealant

Foster Flextra 95-50 Sealant

FOSTER FLEXTRA Sealant is a one component, butyl rubber based product used as a vapor barrier sealant in the joints of cellular glass, polyisocyanurate (PIR), urethane and phenolic foam board stock insulations. It remains soft and flexible, preventing damage to the insulation due to thermal cycling through a wide range of temperatures.

FLEXTRA Sealant is primarily used with low temperature insulation to prevent the migration of water and water vapor into the insulation system via butt joints.

Product Description

FLEXTRA Sealant is also recommended as a bedding compound for the installation of cellular glass insulation. In this application, it protects both the insulation from abrasion and metal surfaces from corrosion.

FLEXTRA Sealant is supplied in a special “buttery” consistency, which facilitates application to insulation surfaces without stringing or excessive drag. It may be applied at temperatures as low as 50°F (10°C) without difficulty.

FLEXTRA Sealant meets requirements for LEED IEQ 4.1 Low-Emitting Materials, Adhesives and Sealants. VOC: <420 g/l, less water and exempt solvents.

FLEXTRA Sealant contains no asbestos, lead, mercury, or mercury compounds.

COLOR:
Tan

APPLICATION CONSISTENCY:
Trowel, Power Extrusion

AVERAGE WEIGHT/U.S. GALLON (ASTM D 1475):
11.6 lbs. (1.39 kg/l)

AVERAGE NON-VOLATILE (In use)
82% by volume (89% by weight)
73% by weight (ASTM D 2369, 110oC)

COVERAGE RANGE (FSTM 71):
Trowel:
12 to 25 sq. ft./gal. (0.29 to 0.61 m2/l)
1/8 in. to 1/16 in. wet film thickness (3.2 mm to 1.6 mm)

DRYING TIME:
Skins over in 2 to 3 hours, essentially non-drying.

SERVICE TEMPERATURE LIMITS (FSTM 202):
(Temperature at coated surface)
PIR / Urethane Foam
Minus 261°F to 200°F (-163°C to 93°C)
Cellular Glass
Minus 150°F to 200°F (-100°C to 93°C)

WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION RATE (ASTM E 96):
The water vapor transmission through 1 in. of impermeable insulation in 12 x 18 in. blocks with 1/8 in. joints of 95-50 is too small to measure.

WET FLAMMABILITY (ASTM D 93):
Flash point 145°F (63°C)

COMBUSTIBILITY, DRY:
Combustible. Flame spread and fuel contribution negligible when used as sealant in 1/8 in. wide joints of incombustible insulation.
