Protection sealing AKILA®

for concrete structuressheetelastic

AKILA® is a brand new environmentally friendly, high performance sealing system for ArcelorMittal steel sheet piles. It is based on three sealing lips made of silane modified polymers (MS-Polymers) mechanically extruded into the free interlocks. These single component elastic sealants are resistant to humidity, weathering, and extreme temperatures, are UV-stable and offer excellent adhesion to steel. The AKILA® sealing system is environmentally certified and suitable for contact with ground water. MS-Polymers are considered environmentally friendly as they are solvent free and do not contain isocyanates. Technical information The AKILA® sealants MSP-1 (for single piles) and MSP-2 (for double piles) belong to the family of silane modified polymers (MS-Polymers). Both products resist humidity and weathering. Their main characteristics are: - Single component elastic sealants with a density of 1.41 g/cm³ for MSP-1 and 1.48 g/cm³ for MSP-2 - UV-stable - Excellent adhesion to steel - Resist temperatures between -40°C and +90°C (up to 120°C for short periods) - Elongation at break > 380% - Shore A hardness after complete polymerization: 58 for MSP-1 and 44 for MSP-2 (after 14 days) - Durable in contact with freshwater, seawater, as well as various hydrocarbons, bases, and acids Key features / Technical specifications - Environmentally certified, suitable for contact with ground water - Solvent free, no isocyanates - Three sealing lips of silane modified polymers (MS-Polymers) - Single component elastic sealants - Resistant to humidity, weathering, and extreme temperatures - UV stable - Excellent adhesion to steel - MSP-1 for single piles, MSP-2 for double piles - Density: 1.41 g/cm³ (MSP-1), 1.48 g/cm³ (MSP-2) - Temperature resistance: -40°C to +90°C (up to 120°C short term) - Elongation at break: > 380% - Shore A hardness: 58 (MSP-1), 44 (MSP-2) after 14 days - Durable in contact with freshwater, seawater, hydrocarbons, bases, acids
