Hand Applied
Hand Applied (Vertical Faces) A cold applied sealant specifically designed for vertical surfaces: sea walls, bridge stems, wall faces, and expansion joints on structures. At Shepherd and Sons, our primary hand-applied product is Fosroc Thioflex 600, a gun-grade, one-part polysulphide sealant engineered for vertical and overhead joints where pourable systems can’t be used. Applied by hand or gun, it delivers the same proven cold-applied chemistry our teams use across horizontal pavement work, adapted for vertical application.
Key benefits:
- No heat required, cold applied chemical compound
- Thioflex 600 gun-grade consistency holds its shape on vertical and overhead joints
- Strong adhesion to concrete, masonry, and structural faces
- Flexible and durable, accommodates structural movement
- Excellent resistance to weathering, salt water, and chemical exposure
- Ideal for marine, bridge, and port environments
- Fast and simple application by hand or skeleton gun
Applications: Sea walls, bridge stems, structural wall faces, vertical expansion joints, port infrastructure.
