These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
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.
For optimum adhesion and critical, high performance applications the following priming and/or pre-treatment procedures must be followed:
Non-porous substrates
Aluminium, anodised aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel, powder coated metals or glazed tiles, 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® 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.
PVC has to be cleaned and pre-treated using Sika® Primer-215 applied with a brush. Allow a waiting time of > 15 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 a 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.
