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 shall 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.

Bonding Procedure

After the necessary substrate preparation, prepare the end of the cartridge before or after inserting into the sealant gun then fit the nozzle.

Apply in triangular beads, strips or spots at intervals of a few centimetres each. Use hand pressure only to fix the components to be bonded into position before skinning of the adhesive occurs. Incorrectly positioned components can easily be unbonded and repositioned during the first few minutes after application. If necessary, use temporary adhesive tapes, wedges, or supports to hold the assembled components together during the initial curing time.

Fresh, uncured adhesive remaining on the surface must be removed immediately. Final strength will be reached after complete curing of Sikaflex®-113 Rapid Cure, i.e. after 24 to 48 hours at +23 °C, depending on the environmental conditions and adhesive layer thickness

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-100.
