Recommendations for use
Correct use of the interlock sheeting Melavill®
Preparation
The sheet pile interlocks have to be dry, clean, free of loose parts, free of grease, oil and dust. Otherwise, for Melavill® to stick in the interlocks, a cleaning with compressed air, wire brush or high pressure water jet is recommended.
The steel sheets must be laid out in a perfectly horizontal position. In order to prevent the liquid Melavill® from flowing out of the interlocks at the ends, they must be sealed with putty or similar.
Processing temperature from: +5 °C.
At cold temperatures, we recommend the special additive Melavill Plus® to improve the viscosity of Melavill®.
Storage instructions
The material must be protected from heat during storage.
