2. Site constraints

In addition to the constraints associated with the type of caulking envisaged, the following external parameters encountered on site must also be taken into account.

Qualification of applicators

Correct application of lime mortar, joint cover, silicone sealant or polyurethane sealant according to the rules of the trade requires experience and knowledge of the products and their application [see OPQCB qualifications].

Site completion times before (re)commissioning

These delays must be taken into account when choosing products (with faster or slower setting or polymerization speeds) and their application (e.g. providing intermediate or long-term protection).
