Ambient Air Temperature
40 to 100 °F (4 to 38 °C). Sealant should be installed when joint is at midrange
of its anticipated movement.
Substrate Temperature
40 to 100 °F (4 to 38 °C). Sealant should be installed when joint is at midrange
of its anticipated movement.
Cure Time
Final cure: 5–7 days
Tack Free Time
3–6 hrs
Lower temperatue and humidity will extend the tack free and cure rates.
BASIS OF PRODUCT DATA
Results may differ based upon statistical variations
depending upon mixing methods and equipment,
temperature, application methods, test methods, actual
site conditions and curing conditions.
LIMITATIONS
Allow 1 week cure at standard conditions when using
Sikaflex® + Construction Sealant in total water
immersion and prior to painting.
▪
Avoid exposure to high levels of chlorine. (Maximum
continuous level is 5 ppm of chlorine.)
▪
Maximum depth of sealant must not exceed 1/2 in.
(12.7 mm); minimum depth is 1/4 in. (6.3 mm).
▪
Maximum width of sealant must not exceed 1 in. (25.4
mm).
▪
Maximum expansion and contraction should not
exceed 35 % of average joint width.
▪
Do not cure in the presence of curing silicone sealants.▪
Avoid contact with alcohol and other solvent cleaners
during cure.
▪
When using on green/new concrete, concrete must be
good quality and strength, sealing poor or low strength
concrete 24 hours after may impact the ability of the
sealant to gain proper adhesion.
▪
On wet concrete, water source must be stopped 1 hour
before application and concrete must be free of
standing water.
▪
Do not apply when moisture-vapor-transmission
condition exists from the substrate as this can cause
bubbling within the sealant.
▪
To avoid bubbling, do not apply when ambient air and
substrate temperatures exceed 100
o
F (38
o
C). In
extreme summertime conditions, preferably install
sealant when ambient air and substrate temperatures
are falling.
▪
Use opened cartridges the same day.▪
When applying sealant, avoid air-entrapment.▪
Since system is moisture-cured, permit sufficient
exposure to air.
