Limitations
Ž Not recommended for unsound substrates.
Ž Although Flexseal PU440 is generally paintable, it is
advisable to test for the specific paint for compa bility.
Ž Long exposure to UV, will reduce surface gloss, but will
not affect sealant performance.
If these condi ons are exceeded, DCP Technical
Department should be contacted for advice.
