SikaFix® HH+

1 year in original, resealable packaging.

Store in dry, heated area at temperatures between 4 °C and 32 °C (40 °F and 90 °F). Do not allow product to freeze. Once opened, and depending on humidity level, shelf life may be reduced. Precondition material for at least 24 hours at temperatures ranging between 16 °C and 32 °C (60 °F and 90 °F) before use.

1 L (33.8 US fl. oz) grout = approx. 30 L (7.9 US gal.) foam (typical free expansion)
Note: Yield will be dependent upon quantity of Accelerator used, variation in crack/void configuration, injection conditions and end use.

Drill appropriate diameter holes based on packer type/diameter being used along the side of the crack at a 45° angle to intersect the crack midway through the substrate. These holes should be drilled alternately on opposite sides of the crack at approximately 150 - 900 mm (6 - 36 in) centres depending upon the crack width. This spacing can be adjusted to suit specific applications where necessary. Install injection packers into the drilled holes and tighten or position and secure injection ports. It is always necessary to flush the drilled holes with water to remove debris and drill dust from the holes and crack. This will also insure that the crack is wet enough to react with the grout when it is injected into the crack. When the crack is contaminated on the outside, it will be necessary to clean the surface so that the crack can be located exactly. If the crack is wide or high water flows are encountered, it will be necessary to seal the surface of the crack with a surface sealing material (SikaSet® Plug, Sikadur®-31 Hi Mod Gel^CA or a preformed open cell polyurethane foam cord saturated with SikaFix® HH+). The surface sealing can be carried out before or after drilling injection holes, depending on the particular situation.

Prior to injection, SikaFix® HH+ should be thoroughly agitated by either vigorously shaking the 18.9 L (5 US gal.) pail or by mixing with a low-speed drill (200 - 300 rpm) fitted with a Jiffy or Bung type paddle until a uniform consistency is produced. If mixing, scrape the sides and bottom of the pail to ensure a complete mix is achieved.

Prior to using SikaFix^® Accelerator, the container should be shaken vigorously as the contents may settle during storage. For regular use, each 18.9 L (5 US gal.) unit of SikaFix® HH+ should be used with 473 mL (1 US pint) container of SikaFix^® HH Accelerator, a dosage of 2.5 %. The grout should never be used without SikaFix^® HH Accelerator, but never with dosage exceeding the 2.5 % maximum. Excess acceleration will cause uncontrolled expansion which is prone to shrinkage.

Pour the desired quantity of SikaFix® HH+ into a clean, suitably sized mixing vessel and measure the amount of accelerator required and add into the SikaFix® HH+ and stir until adequately mixed. It is advisable to mix and inject just a part of the prepared material initially (1L [2 pints] would be approximate) to determine the rate of resin travel and confirm how much product can be used within its pot life.

Use SikaFix^® Pump Flush, a non-flammable solvent, to clean tools, lines and equipment of uncured product. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
