Yield
300 mL cartridge yields 3.72 lin m (12 lin ft) of 12.7 mm (1/2 in) x 6.35 mm (1/4 in) joint.
858 mL cartridge yields 10.7 lin m (35 lin ft) of 12.7 mm (1/2 in) x 6.35 mm (1/4 in) joint.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Clean all surfaces. Surface 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 non-absorbent materials such as anodized aluminum, steel, glass, ceramics, stoneware and tiles.
CLEAN UP
Clean all tools and equipment with Sika® Urethane Thinner and Cleaner. Once hardened, product can only be removed mechanically.
FAQ
Avoid contact with silicone or high solvent-based sealers/paints.
Yes, but preliminary tests are recommended prior to using on porous decorative materials such as marble and other natural stones (prevent staining).
Ne pas utiliser sur des matériaux ou surfaces à base d’asphalte ou autres substances bitumineuses. Ne pas utiliser pour les joints de dilatation.
The SikaBond® Construction Adhesive will not bond to polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene.
Do not use on PVC-based material.
Avoid exposure to high levels of chlorine. (Maximum level is 5 ppm.)
For cold weather application, condition material to +18 °C to +24 °C (65 °F to 75 °F) before using. Cut plastic tip of the nozzle to desired size and puncture airtight seal at base of tip. Force adhesive onto bonding surface. Use as spread, bead or for spot bonding. Heavier substrates may require additional support during the cure period.
Priming is not usually necessary for non-absorbent materials such as anodized aluminum, steel, glass, ceramics, stoneware, and tiles.
Allow a minimum of one (1) week cure at standard conditions when using SikaBond® Construction Adhesive in total water immersion situations, and since the system is moisture-cured, permit sufficient exposure to air.
Low temperature and humidity will slow the cure of the product. And finally, contact with alcohol and other solvent cleaners should be avoided during the cure.
Application temperatures (ambient air) are +4 to +38 °C (40 to 100 °F).
A 300 mL cartridge yields 3.72 lin m (12 lin ft) of 12.7 mm (1/2 in) x 6.35 mm (1/4 in) joint, while an 858 mL cartridge yields 10.7 lin m (35 lin ft) of 12.7 mm (1/2 in) x 6.35 mm (1/4 in) joint.
