Joint design
The joint width must be designed to suit the movement capability of the sealant. The joint width shall be ≥ 6 mm and ≤ 20 mm. A width to depth ratio of 2:1 must be maintained.
Joints ≤ 10 mm in width are for crack control and therefore non-movement joints.
For larger joints contact Sika Technical Services for additional information.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, cement laitance, old sealants and poorly bonded paint coatings which could affect adhesion of the adhesive / sealant. The substrate should be of sufficient strength to resist with the stresses induced by the sealant during movement.
Removal techniques such as wire brushing, grinding, sanding or other suitable mechanical tools can be used.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of any activators, primers or adhesive / sealant.
Sikaflex®-111 Stick & Seal adheres without primers and/or activators. However, for optimum adhesion, joint durability and critical, high performance applications the following priming and/or pre-treatment procedures shall be followed:
Non-porous substrates
Aluminium, anodised aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel, powder coated metals, glazed tiles or PVC: slightly roughen surface with a fine abrasive pad. Clean and pre-treat using Sika® Aktivator-205 applied with a clean cloth. Before bonding / sealing, allow a waiting time of > 15 minutes (< 6 hours).
Other metals, such as copper, brass and titanium-zinc: clean and pre-treat using Sika® Cleaner P or Sika® Aktivator-205 applied with a clean cloth. After a waiting time of > 15 minutes (< 6 hours). Apply Sika® Primer-3 N applied by brush. Allow a further waiting time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours) before bonding / sealing.
Porous substrates
Concrete, aerated concrete and cement-based renders, mortars and bricks: prime surface using Sika® Primer-3 N applied by brush. Before bonding / sealing, allow a waiting time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours).
For more detailed advice and instructions contact Sika Technical Services.
Note: Primers are adhesion promoters and not an alternative to improve poor preparation / cleaning of joint surfaces. Primers also improve the long-term adhesion performance of the sealed joint.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Remover-208. Once cured, hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
For cleaning skin use Sika® Cleaning Wipes.
