| This list includes sealants which have been tested as compatitble with Sto EIF Systems, based on evaluations performed by | ||||
| the sealant manufacturer. Priming the sealant joint prior to installing the caulk is recommended by most manufacturers. | ||||
| Other sealants may be suitable for Sto EIFS. Please refer to EIMA guideline specifications for sealants, document 300.01. | ||||
| Sealant must comply with ASTM C-1382 tensile adhesion properties, and be approved by the sealant manufacturer for use | ||||
| with EIFS. | ||||
| Closed cell backer rod of the appropriate size is required to prevent three sided adhesion of the sealant. | ||||
