Product Description
FOX PURSEAL PS600 is a single-component, permanently elastic, waterproof, low-modulus polyurethane-based adhesive and joint sealant. Manufactured with the latest polyurethane technology, it is suitable for interior and exterior applications. It cures by atmospheric moisture. Meets EN 15651-1 F-EXT-INT-CC and EN 15651-4 PW-EXT-INT-CC classifications.
The product is used as a joint sealant and adhesive in horizontal and vertical structural joints, roof gutters, prefabricated panels, water tanks and swimming pools, metal frame joints, aluminium windows and panels, as well as on glass, wood, plasterboard, granite and marble surfaces.
Advantages
- Adheres to almost any surface with or without primer.
- Resistant to water, seawater, dilute alkalis, concrete grout and water-based detergents.
- Resistant to ageing and weathering.
- Permanently elastic.
- Can be painted after curing. (A compatibility test with the paint is recommended before application.)
- Waterproof, resistant to bacteria and mould.
- Retains elasticity even at -30°C.
Usage Areas
- For sealing horizontal and vertical structural joints
- In roof gutters
- In prefabricated panels
- In water tanks and swimming pools
- In metal frame joints, aluminium windows and panels
- As a joint sealant and adhesive in glass, wood, plasterboard, granite and marble applications
Application Steps
- 1
Surface Preparation
Surfaces to be treated must be sound, dry, load-bearing, dust-free and clean. They must be thoroughly cleaned of oil, grease, rust and paraffin residues. Metal surfaces should be sanded if necessary. After degreasing, the surface must be allowed to dry completely. It is recommended to clean concrete surfaces with a wire brush. Surfaces that have absorbed large amounts of oil must be renewed and repaired with FOX EPOMORTAR FC510. If the application surface is concrete, it must be at minimum C25 class, the relative ambient humidity must be below 85%, and the ambient temperature must be between +15°C and +30°C.

Filling Pores and Voids
On cracked, weak or highly porous concrete surfaces, pores and voids on the surface must be filled prior to application to prevent air escaping due to temperature increases from causing bubbles in the uncured sealant. Direct application onto unsound substrates is not recommended; in such cases, an appropriate primer should be selected and the substrate primed.
- 3
Installing the Backing Rod
A backing rod of appropriate diameter should be inserted into the joint to set the application depth and prevent the sealant from bonding to the base of the joint. This ensures that the sealant bonds only to the side faces of the joint.

Application
The 600 ml sausage pack is loaded into a suitable sealant gun. The tip of the pack is opened, the nozzle is fitted and cut at a 45° angle according to the desired application width. FOX PURSEAL PS600 should be applied using a manual or pneumatic sealant gun in a continuous and steady flow, ensuring no air voids remain in the joint and full contact is achieved with the joint side faces. Minimum joint depth is 6 mm and maximum joint width is 25 mm. For joints up to 12 mm wide, a minimum depth of 6 mm must be maintained; for wider joints, a width-to-depth ratio of approximately 2:1 should be applied.

Surface Finishing and Cleaning
Immediately after application, the sealant surface should be smoothed with a suitable spatula. Uncured sealant that has overflowed outside the joint must be cleaned immediately using a clean cloth lightly dampened with mineral spirits. Cured material can only be removed by mechanical means. Tools and equipment used must be cleaned with solvent immediately after application.
Critical
FOX PURSEAL PS600 should not be applied at temperatures below +5°C or above +35°C.
Important
In cold weather, packaging should be kept at approximately +20°C before application.
Critical
Must not be used on bituminous surfaces, natural rubber, EPDM, PE, HDPE, PTFE (Teflon), polysulphide, or surfaces that may release oils, plasticisers or solvents.
Important
Moisture and vapour transmission from the substrate may cause bubbling in the sealant. Care must be taken to avoid air voids during application.
Critical
The product must be protected from rain, water, alcohol, solvents and similar chemicals during the curing period.
Important
It has no resistance to alcohol, organic acids, concentrated alkalis and acids, or chlorinated (hydrocarbon) fuels.
Important
It is recommended that opened sausage packaging be used on the same day.
Important
The product must be stored in its original unopened packaging in a dry and cool environment (between +5°C and +25°C), protected from sunlight and frost. Shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
Critical
It is dangerous to approach storage and application areas with open flames. Storage and application areas must be ventilated.
Critical
Protective clothing, gloves, goggles and a mask must be worn during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; in case of contact, wash thoroughly with water and soap. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
Information
Pallets must never be stacked on top of each other during storage. Shipment must follow a first-in, first-out system.
Information
The technical values above are given at +23°C and 50% relative humidity. Higher temperatures shorten the time; lower temperatures extend it.
