THE SWELLING TEST
To show the effect of our product, we carried out a swelling test in the laboratory.
We divided a plate into two parts. One half was sealed with our STOPGAP FLUID and the other half was left untreated. Then both parts were placed in a water bath for 24 hours. The result is clear: the sealed half almost remained unchanged. In contrast, the untreated half absorbed the water and swelled on the edge.
