|
| How to Use Sikaflex-11 FC |
| Surface Preparation |
Clean all surfaces. Joint walls must be sound, clean, dry, frost-free, and free of oil and grease. Curing compound residues and any other foreign matter must be thoroughly removed. |
 |
|
|
|
| Priming |
Priming is not usually necessary for anodized aluminum, steel, non-absorbent materials such as glass, ceramics, stoneware and tiles. Most substrates only require priming if testing indicates a need or where sealant will be subjected to water immersion after cure. Consult Technical Service for additional information on priming. |
|
|
|
|
| Sikaflex-11 FC Application |
|
Recommended application temperatures: 40°-100°F. For cold weather application, condition material
to 65°-75°F before using.
Place nozzle of gun into bottom of the joint and fill entire joint. Keep the nozzle in the sealant; continue
on with a steady flow of sealant preceding the nozzle to avoid air entrapment. Avoid overlapping of
sealant to eliminate entrapment of air. Tool as required. Joint dimension should allow for 1/4 inch
minimum and 1/2 inch maximum thickness for sealant. Proper design is 2:1 width to depth ratio. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Storage |
Store in dry warehouse conditions between 40°F and 80°F. Shelf life under these conditions is 9 months. |
|
|
|
|
| Sikaflex-11 FC Limitations |
|
* Allow 3-day cure at standard conditions when using Sikaflex-11 FC in total water immersion situations and prior to painting.
* Avoid exposure to high levels of chlorine. (Maximum level is 5ppm).
* Maximum depth of sealant must not exceed 1/2 in.; minimum depth is 1/4 in.
* Maximum expansion and contraction should not exceed 12.5% of average joint width.
* Avoid contact with alcohol and other solvent cleaners during cure.
* Do not apply when moisture-vapor-transmission condition exists from the substrate as this can cause bubbling within the sealant.
* Use opened cartridges the same day.
* When applying sealant, avoid air-entrapment.
* Since system is moisture-cured, permit sufficient exposure to air.
* White color tends to yellow slightly when exposed to ultraviolet rays.
* The ultimate performance of Sikaflex-11 FC depends on proper application, good design and proper preparation of joint surfaces.
* Not for use in expansion joints.
* Heavier substrates may require additional support during the cure period. |
