3M Automotive | 06066 | Bondo® Traffic, P-606 Flexible Loop Sealer, 606, 1 Gallon (US)

Specifications

The Bondo® Traffic, P-606 Flexible Loop Sealer is a two-component polyester-based compound. This 1-gallon unit, identified by manufacturer's part number 06066, is designed for sealing applications. It offers a rapid chemical curing process, with an initial curing time of approximately 35-45 minutes. A single gallon of the mixed sealer covers approximately 51 linear feet for a 3/8" x 1" sawcut, or 35 linear feet for a 3/8" x 1-1/2" sawcut.

Key Features

• Permanent Flexibility and Durability: This loop sealant maintains its flexibility over time, even under demanding conditions.
• Rapid Curing Formula: The fast chemical cure minimizes lane closure times, allowing for quicker return to service. It cures in under one hour.
• Superior Adhesion: It exhibits strong bonding capabilities with both concrete and asphalt surfaces, whether fresh, aged, wet, or dry.
• Chemical and Weather Resistance: The sealer withstands corrosive road salts, automotive fluids, jet fuel, gasoline, and extreme weather conditions. It remains stable across a broad temperature range, resisting fracture at temperatures as low as -40°F.
• Non-Shrinking Formulation: The material does not shrink, which helps prevent the need for call-backs and additional refilling.
• Smooth Finish: It cures to a smooth surface, eliminating the need for additional finishing steps after application.
• Wire Protection: The sealer effectively encapsulates, insulates, and protects detector loop wires within the sawcut.
• Self-Leveling Application: Its pourable, self-leveling nature allows for easy and consistent application directly into sawcuts.

Applications

The Bondo® Traffic, P-606 Flexible Loop Sealer is specifically formulated for sealing sawcut openings in concrete, asphalt, and asphaltic cement. It serves to adhere and encapsulate sensitized wire loops used in various traffic control and vehicle detection systems.

Typical applications include:

• Traffic signal systems
• Parking lot gate controls
• Traffic counters
• Airport runway lighting systems
• Actuated intersections
• Automated gate systems
• Sealing and repairing spalls, cracks, and deformations in and around saw-cuts.

Benefits

• Enhanced System Reliability: By encapsulating and protecting detector loop wires from movement, contaminants, and environmental factors, this sealer helps prevent false calls and ensures consistent system operation.
• Reduced Roadway Downtime: The rapid curing feature significantly minimizes the length of time traffic lanes remain closed, improving traffic flow efficiency.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Its non-shrinking, durable, and weather-resistant properties reduce the frequency of repairs and refilling, leading to fewer maintenance call-backs.
• Extended Product Lifespan: The permanent flexibility and resistance to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures contribute to the long-term integrity of the sealed sawcuts and protected wiring.
• Simplified Installation: The pourable, self-leveling, and smooth-curing characteristics streamline the application process, saving labor time and effort as no finishing is required.
