For the optimal elastic characteristics of the sealant, a correct width/depth ratio is important (2:1) or a maximum of 1:1. The sealant must not grip the bottom of the joint, but only its sides. We can achieve this with the use of underlying materials, onto which the sealant has no adhesion (PEF Rod, foamed polyethylene, polyurethane). The minimum joint width is 3 mm, the maximum 20 mm.
