Neutral cure silicone

12 months from date of production

The Product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +25 °C. Always refer to the packaging.

Refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for information on safe handling and storage.

Refer to the section 'Certificates and test reports' or contact Sika Technical Services for specific information.

Rw(C;C_tr) = 38(-2;-9)

Use closed cell, polyethylene foam backing rod.

The substrate temperature must be +3 °C above dew point temperature and free from frost and ice.

IMPORTANT

Poor adhesion due to incorrect priming procedure

Incorrectly defined or uncontrolled priming procedures may lead to a variation in Product performance.

1. Test adhesion on project-specific substrates and agree on procedures with all parties before full project application. For more information contact Sika Technical Services.

Poor adhesion due to inadequate surface preparation

Note: Primers are adhesion promoters. Primers cannot replace proper surface preparation and surface cleaning.

1. Do not use primers for improving poorly prepared or poorly cleaned joint surfaces.

The substrate must be sound, clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, cement laitance, sealant residues and poorly bonded coatings which could affect adhesion of the primer and sealant.

The substrate must be of sufficient strength to withstand the stress induced by the sealant during movement.

1. Use techniques such as wire brushing, grinding, grit blasting or other suitable mechanical methods to remove all weak substrate material.
2. Repair all damaged joint edges with suitable Sika repair products.
3. Remove dust, loose and friable material from all surfaces before applying the sealant.

If tested or supported by experience, the Product can be used without primers or activators on many substrates.

IMPORTANT

Strictly follow installation procedures

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

IMPORTANT

Staining on natural stone substrates due to plasticiser migration

Staining from plasticiser migration may occur when used on cast, reconstituted or natural stone such as granite, marble or limestone substrates.

1. Do not use on natural stone substrates

IMPORTANT

Degradation of sealant due to substrates leaching oil, plasticisers, or solvents

Bitumen, natural rubber or EPDM rubber can leach oils, plasticisers, or solvents that can degrade the sealant and cause the Product to become tacky.

1. Do not use the Product on building materials which leach oils, plasticisers, or solvents.

IMPORTANT

Degradation of sealant due to chemical attack

1. Do not use the Product to seal joints in and around swimming pools containing water treatment agents such as chlorine.

IMPORTANT

Insufficient curing due to exposure to alcohol

Exposure to alcohol during curing may interfere with the curing reaction and cause the Product to remain soft or become tacky.

1. Do not expose the Product to alcohol-containing products during the curing period.

IMPORTANT

Material failure due to insufficient air humidity

Air humidity is required for the Product to cure.

1. Do not use the Product in a totally confined space.

Delayed skin formation and curing time due to changing ambient conditions

Note: Changing ambient conditions can affect product performance. Skin formation and curing time can be significantly delayed by low humidity, low temperature and large joint dimensions.

1. Apply masking tape where neat or exact joint lines are required.
2. After the required substrate preparation, insert a backing rod to the required depth.
3. Prime the joint surfaces as recommended in substrate preparation. Note Avoid excessive application of the primer.
4. Open the seal on the top of the cartridge or open the end of the foil pack.
5. Fit the nozzle and cut it to the desired bead size.
6. Insert the Product into the application gun.
7. Apply the Product into the joint. Note Avoid air entrapment. Make sure that the Product comes into full contact with the adhesion area of the joint.
8. IMPORTANT Do not use tooling products containing solvents. As soon as possible after application, tool the Product firmly against the joint sides to ensure adequate adhesion and a smooth finish. Use a compatible tooling agent such as Sika® Tooling Agent N to smooth the joint surface.
9. Remove the masking tape within the skin formation time of the Product.

Colour variation

Note: Colour variation may occur especially with white or other light colour shades. This effect is purely aesthetic and does not adversely influence the technical performance or durability of the Product.

Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Thinner C. Once cured, hardened material can only be removed mechanically. For cleaning skin use Sika® Cleaning Wipes-100.
