Application
Consumption
Mixed as indicated below:
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) will yield approx 0.6 L (0.02 ft3) of mortar or 5 plugs;
- 5 kg (11 lb) will yield approx. 2.9 L (0.1 ft3) of mortar or 25 plugs;
- 22.7 kg (50 lb) will yield approx 13 L (0.45 ft3) of mortar or 113 plugs.
MIXING
Add 1 part by volume of potable water to 3 parts of SikaSet® Plug and mix to consistency of stiff putty. Use mixing water with temperature of 21 °C (70 °F). Set is slowed slightly at lower temperatures.
CLEAN UP
Remove SikaSet® Plug from tools and mixing equipment with water. Cured product can only be removed mechanically.
FAQ
SikaSet® Plug sets rapidly, even when mixed water temperature is at +4 °C (39 °F) and ambient temperature is at +2 °C (35 °F).
Add 1 part (by volume) of potable water to 3 parts of SikaSet® Plug and mix to consistency of stiff putty. Use mixing water at a temperature of +21 °C (70 °F). Set is slowed slightly at lower temperatures.
Sikaset® Plug is a ready-to-use powder that only requires the addition of water.
Prepare leaking areas by chipping away unsound concrete and forming a V shaped hole or slot. Use SikaSet® Plug to seal all adjacent seepage and slight leaks before plugging the largest leaks. For large leaks, form carrot-shaped plugs and wait until nearly hard before pushing into leak.
Trowel SikaSet® Plug on damaged precast members; knead into honeycombs with rubber-gloved hand. Seal container tightly after use.
For best results, condition the product to +18 to +29 °C (65 to 84 °F) prior to mixing and installation. Lower temperatures may result in slower strength development and longer cure times.
