Description
Dymonic FC is a one-part moisture curing, caulk-gun applied polyurethane sealant. Dymonic FC is low modulus, durable, flexible, and offers excellent performance in seams and moving joints. Dymonic FC does not require a primer on most materials, but it adheres very well to cured epoxy-coated surfaces and fiberglass laminates.

Basic Uses
Dymonic FC is an excellent general purpose sealant designed for use on bare wood, epoxy-treated wood, fiberglass laminates, concrete and masonry construction joints, and vinyl siding. Dymonic FC is suitable for continual immersion in water. Dymonic FC is designed for interior and exterior use.

Limitations
Do not apply over damp or contaminated surfaces. Substances that will contaminate a surface include glycols or products suspended in glycol, waxes or products with a wax base, substances that contain or contained silicones. Surfaces should be dry and clean to the base substrate. Penetrating epoxy coatings on the substrate should be fully cured before Dymonic FC is applied. Use with adequate ventilation.

Applicable Standards
Conforms to U.S. Federal Specification TT-S-00230C, Type II, Class A; ASTM C 920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 100/50, Use NT, M, A, and O; and CAN/CGSB 19.13-M87, Type MCG-2-25-A-N with QLP #81050.

Application Recommendations
May be used in any vertical or horizontal joint, seam or crack. Application tube should be cut to the width of the joint and Dymonic FC applied to a depth at least equal to the width of the joint. Closed cell polyethylene rods or adhesive-backed polyethylene tape can be used to control the depth of the sealant bead on very deep seams.

Surface Preparation
For best adhesion, the joint interface must be clean and dry. The joint surface may require a thorough wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting, or solvent washing. A primer such as CPES™ (Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer) can be used if desired. Primed surfaces should be cured before Dymonic FC is applied.

Application
Dymonic FC is easy to apply with conventional caulking equipment. Fill joint completely and tool. At 75°F (23.9°C), 50% R.H. a durable skin forms within 24 hours. Curing continues at the rate of 1/16 inch (1.6mm) depth per day. The cure rate is lengthened at lower temperatures and less humidity. Dymonic FC can be painted after it has cured.

Tooling & Cleaning
Tooling is recommended immediately after application to insure firm, intimate contact with the joint or seam interface. Dry tooling is preferred, although tooling agents (such as soapy water) can be used. Excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint can be removed with xylene or toluene before sealant cures. After sealant cures excess compound can be cut away with a blade.
