When Speed Matters
There are many applications where joints need to be ready for release after just a few hours, with nature or industry often dictating the working time. Situations including the maintenance of seawalls, the installation and refurbishment of transportation or water management infrastructure, operational production facilities and warehouses all come with time constraints which only allow for a small window of opportunity in which to apply the sealant.
Applications include:
- Sea and harbour walls: Where application and curing time is limited by the tide
- Water canal and infrastructure maintenance: To minimise downtime in operational areas
- Production and warehouse facilities: To minimise production interruption
- Business facilities e.g., stores, restaurants, leisure: To minimise downtime
- Transportation infrastructure e.g., airports, railway: Where maintenance windows occur overnight
- Cool and freezer rooms: Where regular sealants do not cure
To relieve the pressure faced in these application situations, Sika now offers Sikaflex®-423 PowerCure, a one-component, non-sag, high-performance sealant and booster for vertical and horizontal joints. Mixed by the unique Sika PowerCure dispenser, correct ratios of sealant and booster are applied directly to the joint for a quick and convenient application.
As a system primer we recommend using Sika Primer 115.
