- Basic Uses
- ElastiSeal® 6098 is used to seal and waterproof steel joints.
- It has been used on passenger rail cars for more than fifty years.
- In service, this sealant remains permanently flexible and gives corrosion protection for the life of the vehicle.
- Typical Applications
ElastiSeal® 6098 can be applied as a bead or spread as a paste. Welds may be made through the sealer from 10 minutes to 72 hours after application. (“Spitting” may occur if welding is performed before solvent escapes). This sealer is unaffected by conventional industrial paint bakes. Excess material may be wiped off with mineral spirits; use mineral spirits to clean tools and equipment.
