Choosing one

Pick by movement first. A façade joint that opens 25% needs the softer KA340A at 615% elongation and 75% recovery; a below-grade or drainage joint that resists water pressure needs KA340B and its higher modulus. Movement class decides, then substrate condition, then primer.

Send joint width, expected movement and substrate and we will return the class and the grade. ryan@pu-karmind.net
