Joint Design

For maximum movement accommodation, it is recommended that:
1. The sealant joint width should be no less than 5 mm.
2. Joint depth should be half joint width e.g. 20 mm wide and 10 mm deep.
Joint depth may be adjusted to the correct size; use EVERBUILD® JOINT
BACKER ROD.
Max Joint Width - 50 mm.
Joint Width Calculation - Joint widths are calculated as in BS6213:
Width = (M x 100 / F) + M
Where M = movement and F = movement accommodation Factor.

Application

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application.

Mortar: Use Primer 3N.
Improve adhesion on non-porous surfaces by using Sika® Aktivator-205.
