Product description
Vulkem
®
116 is a one-part, moisture-curing, gun-grade
polyurethane sealant. It is durable, flexible, and offers excellent
performance in dynamic joints.
Features and benefits
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.
Vulkem 116 is also suitable for certain water immersion
applications and is rated for 25% movement capability. The
cure of the sealant can be accelerated with the addition of the
Vulkem Catalyst 45/116.
Uses
Vulkem 116 is an excellent general-purpose sealant designed
for use on poured and precast concrete, masonry work, window
and door perimeters, and similar types of construction joints. It
is designed for use on exterior applications but can be used on
interior applications with proper ventilation.
Colors
Almond, Aluminum, Black, Bronze, Buff, Gray, Dark Bronze, Ivory,
Limestone, Redwood Tan, Beige, Stone, White, Natural Clay
Packaging
10.1 oz. (300ml) cartridges, 20 oz. (600ml) sausages, 2 and 5
gallon (7.6 and 18.9 L) pails, and 55 gallon (208 L) drums.
Coverage rates
308 linear feet of joint per gallon for a 1/4” X 1/4” joint.

efficiencies, visit our website usage calculator
Applicable standards
Vulkem 116 meets or exceeds the requirements of the following
specifications:
• ASTM C 920 Type S, Grade NS, Class 25, Use T, NT, M, A, I
class II, and O
• U.S. Federal Specification TT-S-00230C, Class A, Type II
• CAN/CGSB-19.13-M87
• USDA regulation for indirect food contact
• Canadian Food Inspection Agency
• City of Los Angeles (COLA) approval standards
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.

Sealant dimensions
W = Sealant width, D = Sealant depth, C = Contact area.
EXPANSION JOINTS - The minimum width and depth of any
sealant application should be 1/4” by 1/4” (6mm by 6mm).
The depth (D) of sealant may be equal to the width (W) of
joints that are less than 1/2” wide. For joints ranging from
1/2” to 1” (13mm to 25mm) wide, the sealant depth should be
approximately one-half of the joint width.
The maximum depth (D) of any sealant application should be
1/2” (13mm). For joints that are wider than 1” (25 mm) contact
Tremco’s Technical Service Department, or your local Tremco
field representative.
WINDOW PERIMETERS – For fillet beads, or angle beads around
windows and doors, the sealant should exhibit a minimum
surface contact area (C) of 1/4” onto each substrate.
Surface preparations
Surfaces must be sound, clean, and dry. All release agents,
existing waterproofing, dust, loose mortar, laitance, paints, or
other finishes must be removed. This can be accomplished with
a thorough wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting, or solvent
washing, depending on the contamination.
Tremco recommends that surface temperatures be 40˚F (5˚C)
or above at the time the sealant is applied. If sealant must be
applied in temperatures below 40˚F, please refer to the Tremco
Guide for Applying Sealants in Cold Weather that can be found
on our website.
Priming
Where deemed necessary, use Vulkem Primer #171 for porous
substrates and TREMprime Non-Porous Primer for metals and
plastics. Vulkem 116 typically adheres to common construction
substrates without primers; however, Tremco always
recommends that mock-up or field adhesion test be performed
on the actual materials being used on the job to verify the need
for a primer. The field adhesion test can be found in appendixes
X1 of ASTM C 1193, Standard Guide for Use of Joint Sealants.
Application
Vulkem 116 is easy to apply with conventional caulking
equipment. Ensure that the backer rod is friction fitted properly
and any primers have been applied. Fill the joint completely
with a proper width-to-depth ratio and tool to insure intimate
contact of sealant with joint walls. Dry tooling is always
preferred, although xylene can be used in limited amounts to
slick the spatula if needed.
For a cleaner finish, mask the sides of the joint with tape prior
to filling.
Cure time
Vulkem 116 generally cures at a rate of 1/16” per day at
75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity. It will skin in 5 hours
and be tack free in 30 hours. The cure time will increase as
temperatures and/or humidity decrease. A good rule of thumb is
one additional day for every 10°F decrease in temperature.
Clean up
Excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint interface can
be carefully removed with xylene or mineral spirits before the
sealant cures. Any utensils used for tooling can also be cleaned
with xylene or mineral spirits.
Limitations
• Do not apply Vulkem 116 over damp or contaminated
surfaces.
• Always utilize the sealant’s MSDS found on our website
for information on proper
ventilation, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other
health concerns
