Sealing flexible tiles

08/28/2008 4:22 PM

Does anyone know of a product that could be used to seal flexible tiles (non-grouted tiles, just butted together), that is UV resistant. I mean a coating that would be sprayed/brushed etc, over top the tiles to make the floor waterproof (i.e. so the water can't get down the joins between the tiles). The sealer would need to have the following physical properties;

Hardness ,ASTM D-2240 90 +- 5 A
Tensile Strength, ASTM412-C 3200 +-300 psi
Elongation, ASTM412-C 450+-50%
Tear, ASTM624-C 325 +- 50 pli

I believe that clear silicone rubber will meet your requirements.

Bob c,

Can you spray clear silicone rubber? We are butting the tiles up close together (maybe 1mm gap) - is it feasible to put silicone rubber into these gaps?

The only way that I have seen silicone rubber packaged is as a paste like consistency. You might try contacting Dow Corning Corporation. They were the ones that developed this product, they are the experts.
