1. Rationale
It has come to the attention of some members of C24 that some cleaning practices have been found to be occurring in the construction industry that can be detrimental to developing adequate sealant adhesion. In general it has been understood in the industry that sealant application should occur promptly after substrate cleaning. However, based on some cleaning practices observed we believe it is important to add text to C1193 that identifies the importance of time related to substrate cleaning and sealant application.
