Neutral cure silicone

SikaHyflex®-600 has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of production, if stored in an undamaged, original, sealed packaging and if the storage conditions are met.

SikaHyflex®-600 shall be stored in dry conditions, where it is protected from direct sunlight and at temperatures between +5 °C and +25 °C.

SikaHyflex®-600 is compatible with most SikaHyflex® and Sikasil® silicone weather sealants, Sikasil® SG adhesives and Sikasil® IG sealants. All other sealants and adhesives have to be approved by Sika before using them in direct contact with SikaHyflex®-600.

Where two or more different reactive sealants and/or adhesives are used, allow the first one to cure completely before applying the next one. For specific information regarding compatibility contact Sika technical service.

−40 °C to +150 °C

The joint width must be designed to suit the joint movement required and the movement capability of the sealant. The joint width shall be ≥ 6 mm and ≤ 45 mm. The joint depth shall be ≥  6 mm and ≤ 15 mm. A width to depth ratio of 2:1 must be maintained (for exceptions, see table below).

Typical joint dimensions

All joints must be correctly designed and dimensioned in accordance with the relevant standards, before their construction. The basis for calculation of the necessary joint widths are the type of structure and its dimensions, the technical values of the adjacent building materials and the joint sealing material, as well as the specific exposure of the building and the joints.

For larger joints please contact Sika technical service.

Use closed cell, polyethylene foam backing rods.

+5 °C to +40 °C, min. 3 °C above dew point temperature

+5 °C to +40 °C

The substrate must be clean, dry, sound and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. The following priming and/or pre-treatment procedures shall be followed:
 

Non-porous substrates
Float glass, coated glass, anodised aluminium and stainless steel have to be pre-treated using Sika® Aktivator-205, Sika® Aktivator-100 or Sika® Cleaner P. Powder coated and PVDF coated metals have to be pre-treated using Sika® Aktivator-205. For details like application and flash-off times refer to the most recent PDS of the respective pre-treatment product.
 

Porous substrates
Concrete, aerated concrete and cement based renders, mortars and bricks shall be primed using Sika® Primer-3 N or Sika® Primer-210. For details like application and flash-off times refer to the most recent PDS of the respective pre-treatment product.
 

Adhesion tests on project specific substrates must be performed prior to application. For more detailed advice and instructions please contact Sika technical service. Note: Primers are adhesion promoters. They are neither a substitute for the correct cleaning of a surface, nor do they improve the strength of the surface significantly.

Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Remover-208 and/or Sika® Cleaning Wipes-100. Once cured, residual material can only be removed mechanically.
