NOTE: Consumptions stated here are based on our experiences. Prior to the works, a field test should be conducted within the area in question to enable an accurate calculation of the consumption required for that specific site.

Before application, ballast must be inspected and examined by the most appropriate means, in accordance with any requirements, so the works can be suitably planned. The ballast to be bonded should be as dry, clean and free of separating components as possible. A field trial to assess bonding is recommended.

The A and B components are mixed homogeneously together in the specified mixing ratio, using a dry and clean mixing vessel of a suitable size. After mixing, due to its relatively long reaction time, the mixed product can be applied by a one-component pump. 

Recommended injection pump: ME-1 K ELECTRIC. 

The mixed product should be applied homogeneously over the prepared area of track ballast by an injection lance (using the 'flood grouting' process). To facilitate this application, we recommend the use of an appropriate distribution head (an approximately 40 cm long T-shaped discharge pipe with outlets).

It is possible to pour over the track ballast without a pump within the reaction time (i.e. 'flooding'). 

Due to its relatively low viscosity, Sika® Icosit® KC 100 Trackfix penetrates quickly into the spaces and gaps of the ballast, sealing and solidifying it with a long-lasting effect.

The application in the designated areas should be repeated in intervals upon total solidification of the ballast is achieved.

Alternatively, Sika® Icosit® KC 100 Trackfix can be injected into the ballast, or under the sleepers, by ram injection lances.

Clean equipment immediately after use with SikaInject® CL-2. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
