Bitumen Sealant
Shell Tixophalte Wet
Shell Tixophalte Wet is a high-performance, ready to use a bituminous compound that can be used as a filler, joint sealer or adhesive in a wide range of applications.
It adheres to many surfaces (brick, hydraulic concrete, blocks, PVC, PP, PE, PUR, EPS, metals, glass, bituminous concretes, waterproofing layer) even when it is applied underwater.
Shell Tixophalte can be used as a sealant, adhesive, or filler with many domestic and commercial applications including infrastructure applications, hydraulic applications, and buildings.

Technical info
Density at 25°C: 1,27 g/cm
Elastic recovery at 23°C: <40%
Consistency: Thixotropic paste
Dripping Point (after evaporation of the solvent): 200°C
Extension to Break On Dry Support at 23°C: >100%
Skin Formation: About 2 hours
Complete Curing: About 4 weeks (depending on the surface)
Shelf life: 36 months
Volume: 310 ml
Application methods
At temperatures lower than +5°C, pre-heating (e.g. in warm water) is advised.
A clean, dry, and dust-free substrate are recommended.
For special applications and/or on wet substrates an adhesion test is advised.
For certain circumstances, a (bituminous) primer is recommended.
For adequate adhesion on a wet substrate, the distance between substrate and nozzle must be as small as possible
Tixophalte must be applied in thin strips or single spots so that the solvent is able to evaporate easily
Any residue can be cleaned by dissolving in a hydrocarbon solvent (white spirit).
Warnings!!
Tixophalte hardens as solvent inside evaporates, therefore, ensure that there is adequate ventilation during and after use.
The hardening rate is influenced by temperature, type of substrate, and the applied layer-thickness.
It cannot be applied to a new concrete structure with a high level of residual humidity.
Contact with hydrocarbon solvents, mineral oils, greases and fuels soften the product.
