Key specifications

Technopol's Adhesives & Sealants line is a two-product EPS-bonding accessory range: DB Acrylic Sealant — a one-part, white, paintable acrylic-dispersion sealant used to fix EPS cornices and seal joints — and PU6, a two-component, solvent-free polyurethane (MDI) adhesive for laminating polystyrene sandwich panels; neither is an insulation product, so no λ/R/U, density-grade or compressive-strength ratings apply.

PropertyValueStandard
Product build-upDB Acrylic Sealant (one-part white acrylic dispersion, cures to soft plastic-elastic rubber) + PU6 (two-part solvent-free polyurethane / MDI adhesive)
PU6 bond tensile strength8–10 MPa (at 25 °C)
PU6 component density (mass per litre, liquid)Part A 1.62; Part B 1.23 kg/L
PU6 service temperature / heat resistance−40 to +50 service; bond heat-resistant to 148 short-term; stays flexible to −45 °C
PU6 mixing ratio & spread rate6:1 by weight (4.5:1 by volume); apply 300–400 g/m² to one bonding surface
PU6 pot life & curePot life 20–30 min (20 °C, 50% RH); clamp within 20 min for min. 4 h; full cure 7 days at 25 °C
Reaction-to-fire / fire-resistance classNone — no Euroclass or REI rating of its own; mixed PU6 rated non-combustible / non-hazardous for shipping only
Pack sizes & coveragePU6 combination packs 6 / 36 / 300 kg; DB 280 ml cartridge & 5 kg pail (5 kg ≈ 50 m / 20 cornice lengths)
Applicable product standard / handlingNone cited (no SANS/EN). PU6 Part B is an MDI isocyanate — GHS 'Danger', respiratory & skin sensitiser (follow SDS)GHS

PU6 density figures are liquid-component mass per litre (uncured); no cured-solid density is published. PU6 bond tensile strength 8–10 MPa is quoted from the PU6 manufacturer's technical datasheet at 25 °C; no independent lab test report number substantiates it. Fire: neither product carries a reaction-to-fire (Euroclass) or fire-resistance (REI) classification. 'Non-combustible / non-hazardous' applies to the mixed PU6 adhesive for shipping classification only; the corpus FireTestresults reports cover EPS boards/panels, not the adhesives. DB pail net weight: the current published brochure states 5 kg; an older version lists 4 kg — the 5 kg value is used here. PU6 Part B is a diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI, 'Cosmonate M-200'); follow the SDS handling precautions (isocyanate — harmful by inhalation, potential skin/respiratory sensitiser).

The limits

Where not to use this

A material specified for the wrong job fails you, then us. We would rather lose the order.

As the structural fixing — bonding panels to the frame, or fixing cladding, with no mechanical fasteners behind the bond.
PU6 is a laminating adhesive with a manufacturer-stated bond tensile strength of 8–10 MPa at 25 °C (PROVISIONAL, datasheet) and no structural design certification, wind-uplift test or durability data for a life-safety bond line; DB Acrylic Sealant is a soft plastic-elastic sealant and carries nothing at all.
→ Engineer-designed mechanical fixings carry the load (for LiteSpan IBR: 3 valley-fixed sealed Class-4 teks per support; for Standing Seam: a 1.2 mm galvanised clip at each support with 2 screws per clip) — adhesive supplements them, never replaces them.
Bonds that will run hot — near flues, on dark roofs in sustained summer heat, in plant rooms, or on any element whose service temperature exceeds +50 °C.
PU6's stated service range is −40 to +50 °C (PROVISIONAL); above it, the bond line softens (the quoted 148 °C heat resistance is a short-term figure, not a service rating), and the EPS it is bonding softens above roughly 70–80 °C anyway.
→ A high-temperature structural adhesive with a published service curve, or mechanical fixings, in any hot zone — and a non-combustible core through the hot zone.
As a component of a fire-rated assembly, or anywhere a fire class has to be declared for the bond line or the sealant joint.
Neither product has any Euroclass reaction-to-fire class or REI fire-resistance rating (PROVISIONAL) — nothing has been tested, so nothing can be claimed.
→ A tested, certified fire-rated system in which every component (board, core, sealant, adhesive) is named in the test report — and use intumescent fire sealants at rated joints.
