avoid displacement of
the Penebar SW-45 Rapid during concrete pouring.
It may be necessary to utilize masonry nails or other
mechanical means to hold the sealant in place on
vertical surfaces.
♦ Place Penebar SW-45 Rapid so
that it is no closer than
2” (5 cm) away from the outer surface of poured structure.
If a Keyway is utilized, place the Penebar SW-45 Rapid
into the bottom of the formed Keyway area.
