Product Details:
Tremco Vulkem 116 One-Part, High-Performance
Polyurethane Sealant
One-Part Grainy Textured Finish
Primerless Adhesion on Most Common Construction Surfaces
Durable and Flexible Seal
Features and Benefits:
Tremco Vulkem 116 has demonstrated superior
primerless adhesion to porous substrates for 30 years, and is the
choice for sealing expansion joints in commercial construction
applications. It can be used exterior or interior with adequate
ventilation. Vulkem 116 is also suitable for
certain water immersion applications. Tremco Vulkem
116 is also rated for 25% movement capability.
Tremco Vulkem® 116
Sealant is a one-part moisture curing, gun grade
polyurethane sealant. Vulkem®
116 is durable, flexible, and offers excellent
performance in moving joints. No primer is required on most
construction materials, and it applies with conventional caulking
guns. It is an excellent general purpose sealant designed for use
in precast, masonry, glazing, window frame perimeters and similar
types of construction joints. Suitable for continual immersion in
water with the appropriate primer. Designed for exterior and
interior use. The light grainy texture has proven very popular for
matching textured substrates like stucco and masonry, and for
smooth metal storefront joints the light texture blends and hides
tooling marks and the wavy effect that is inevitable when tooling
sealants.

Joint Design: Vulkem 116 may be used in any
vertical or horizontal joint designed in accordance with accepted
architectural/engineering practices. Joint width should be 4 times
anticipated movement, but not less than 1/4” (6.4mm).
Joint Backing: Closed cell or reticulated
polyethylene backer rod is recommended as joint backing to
control sealant depth and to ensure intimate contact of sealant
with joint walls when tooling. Where depth of joint will prevent
the use of backer rod, an adhesive backed polyethylene tape (bond
breaker tape) should be used to prevent three-sided adhesion. All
backing should be dry at time of sealant application.
Technical Data: Conforms to U.S. Federal
Specification TT-S-00230C, Type II, Class A; ASTM C920-94, Type S,

Limitations: Do not apply Vulkem 116 over damp
