• a cubic meter of substance weighs about 800-1100 kg;
• temperature range of operation ranges from -50 to +80 degrees Celsius;
• conditional tensile strength is 0.2 MPa;
• relative elongation at break - 100%;
• dry matter content - 50%;
• adhesive strength to concrete - 0.2 MPa;
• dries out "on a touch" in 1 hour.

The connection width of 1 cm and a depth of 5 mm will take about 45 grams per running meter, and on the seal of a seam width of 6 cm and a depth of 2 cm, the composition will be about 1 kg per meter.

When construction work is carried out in the offseason or in winter (at temperatures below +5), the composition must be kept in a warm room for at least 24 hours before use. During precipitation (snow, rain) it is prohibited to use a sealant if there is a chance that moisture will penetrate into the sealing area.
