Cracks - Sikadur®-55 SLV

Super low-viscosity, moisture-tolerant epoxy resin, crack healer/penetrating sealer

Sikadur®-55 SLV is a 2-component, 100 % solids, moisture-tolerant, epoxy crack healer / penetrating sealer, having a fast tack-free time to minimize downtime. It is a super low-viscosity, high-strength adhesive formulated specifically for sealing both dry and damp, existing, non-dynamic cracks. It conforms to the current ASTM C-881, Types I and II, Grade-1, Class-C* and AASHTO M-235 specifications. * except for gel time

• Super low viscosity/low surface tension for excellent penetration into existing cracks.
• Seals existing cracks by gravity down to 2 mils (0.002” / 0.05 mm) in width.
• Prolongs life of cracked concrete.
• Penetrates and seals surface from water absorption, chloride-ion intrusion, and chemical attack (patent pending technology).
• Improves concrete surface by reducing water and chloride intrusion.
• Can be open to traffic in 6 hours at 73 °F (23 °C).
• High bond strength, even in damp cracks.
• U.S. Patent No. (pending) for ultra low viscosity healer/sealer to strengthen cracked concrete.

Usage

• Sikadur®-55 SLV seals cracked concrete.
• For interior slabs and exterior above-grade slabs.
• For elevated horizontal decks, parking garages and other structures exposed to foot and pneumatic tire traffic.

Application

Application Information

Component ‘A’ : Component ‘B’ = 2:1 by volume

Approximately 20 minutes

Consumption

1 gal. (3.8 liters) yields 231 cu. in. (3,785 cm³)
Typical coverage is 150-175 ft²/gal. (3.7-4.3 m2/L) for surface sealing. Coverage varies with porosity and surface profile of substrate. Higher porosity concrete will reduce coverage. For crack healing, follow Application instructions and allow to pond over cracks.

Application Steps

Substrate must be clean, sound and free of surface moisture. Remove dust, laitance, grease, oils, curing compounds, waxes, impregnations, foreign particles, coatings and disintegrated materials by mechanical means (i.e. shot blasting, sandblasting, etc.). For best results, substrate should be dry. Surfaces prepared by Low Pressure Water Cleaning or High Pressure Water Jetting methods should be allowed to dry for 24 hrs. minimum [at 73 °F (23 °C)].

Mix 1 part Component ‘B’ to 2 parts Component ‘A’ by volume into a clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with Sika paddle or jiffy mixer on a low-speed (400-600 rpm) drill until uniformly blended. Mix only that quantity which can be used within its pot life.
