Consumption
Depending on crack width and crack depth, the kit yields approximately 2-4 metres of crack length.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
- Concrete must be at least 21 – 28 days old, depending on curing and drying conditions.
- Substrate surfaces along the line of the crack required for the Sikadur® Crack Sealer, must be sound, clean and dry. Free from standing water, ice, dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, efflorescence, old surface treatments, all loose particles and any other surface contaminants that could affect adhesion of the injection ports.
- Cracks must be clean. Horizontal cracks, which are filled by the 'gravity feed' technique, should be v-notched along the entire crack length with grinding equipment.
MIXING
Preparing the Sikadur® Crack Sealer Cartridge
1. Unscrew and remove the cap. |
2. Cut the end off the protective film. |
3. Screw on the square mixing nozzle. |
4. Place the cartridge into the application gun ready for use. Pump gun until both resin parts are extruded as one mixed consistent colour. Do not use unmixed material. |
5. After bonding on the injection ports, remove the tip from the static mixing nozzle. |
6. Fit the applicator fan onto the square mixing nozzle then start the crack sealing application. |
Note: When the work is interrupted, the square mixing nozzle can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been released. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new square mixing nozzle must be attached.
Preparing the Sikadur® Injection Resin Cartridge
1. Unscrew the screwcap (do not throw away) and remove the plug from the cartridge outlet. |
2. Fit the cartridge outlet plug into the cartridge then place injection resin mixer nozzle onto the cartridge. |
3. Slide the screwcap over the injection resin mixer nozzle and screw onto the cartridge. |
4. Place the Sikadur® Injection Resin cartridge into the application gun ready for use. |
5. Fit the flexible extension hose onto the injection resin mixer nozzle. |
6. Fit push fit connector onto the hose. Pump gun until both resin parts are extruded as one mixed consistent colour. Do not use unmixed material. Place connector over an injection port and start the injection application. |
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
