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 sealant. The substrate must be of sufficient strength to resist the stresses induced by the sealant during movement.

• Removal techniques such as wire brushing, grinding, grit blasting or other suitable mechanical tools can be used.
• Repair all damaged joint edges with suitable Sika repair products.
• New or refurbished joints must be saw-cut.
• Where joints in substrate are saw cut. After sawing, all slurry material, must be flushed away and joint surfaces allowed to dry.
• All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of any activators, primers or sealant.
• Sikaflex®-400 Fire adheres without primers and/or activators.
• For optimum adhesion, joint durability and critical, high performance applications such as joints on multi-storey buildings, highly stressed joints, extreme weather exposure or water immersion / exposure. The following priming and/or pre-treatment procedures must be followed:
• Non-porous substrates: Aluminium, anodised aluminium, stainless steel, PVC, 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 sealing, allow a waiting time of > 15 minutes (< 6 hours).
• Other metals, such as copper, brass and titanium-zinc, cleaned 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. Before sealing, allow a waiting time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours)
• Porous substrates: Concrete, aerated concrete and cement based renders, mortars and bricks surfaces must be primed using Sika® Primer-3 N or Sika® Primer-210 applied by brush.
• Before sealing, allow a waiting time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours).
• Concrete, aerated concrete and cement based renders, mortars and bricks must be primed using Sika® Primer-3 N or Sika® Primer-210. For more details such as application and flash-off times, refer to the most recent Product Data Sheet of the respective pre-treatment product.
• Adhesion tests on project specific substrates must be performed and procedures agreed with all parties before full project application.

Contact Sika Technical Services for additional information.

Note: Primers and activators are adhesion promoters and not an alternative to improve poor preparation / cleaning of the joint surface. Primers also improve the long term adhesion performance of the sealed joint.

Colour accuracy disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
