Frequently Asked Questions About Sikaflex® PRO

Q: How do I prepare the surface before applying Sikaflex® PRO?

A: The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles. For porous substrates, use Sika® Primer-3 N. For non-porous substrates, use Sika® Aktivator-205 and/or Sika® Primer-215 as needed.

Q: What is the movement capability of Sikaflex® PRO?

A: Sikaflex® PRO has a movement capability of ±25%, allowing it to accommodate structural movements without cracking or losing adhesion. This ensures long-term performance and durability.

Q: Can Sikaflex® PRO be used on different types of substrates?

A: Yes, Sikaflex® PRO is versatile and can be used on various substrates, including concrete, masonry, brick, and some metals with appropriate priming. Always refer to the product data sheet for specific substrate preparation.

Q: How do I clean up uncured Sikaflex® PRO?

A: Use Sika® Remover-208 or Sika® TopClean T to clean uncured sealant from tools and surfaces. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically.

Q: What safety precautions should I take when using Sikaflex® PRO?

A: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.

Q: Can Sikaflex® PRO be painted over?

A: Yes, Sikaflex® PRO can be over-painted with most conventional facade coating paint systems. However, paints must first be tested to ensure compatibility. Flexible paints are recommended. Allow sealant to fully cure first.

Q: What is the ideal joint design for Sikaflex® PRO?

A: The joint width should be designed to suit the required movement, with a width-to-depth ratio of 2:1. Joint widths should be between 10 mm and 40 mm. Use backing rods to maintain correct depth.

Use Sikaflex® PRO for:

  • Sealing movement joints in concrete and masonry facades.
  • Connecting joints between different construction materials.
  • General sealing applications in both indoor and outdoor environments.
  • Weatherproofing joints around windows and doors.
  • Sealing joints in precast concrete elements.

Why Use Sikaflex® PRO:

  • Provides durable, elastic seals that accommodate movement.

How to apply Sikaflex® PRO:

  1. Prepare the substrate: Clean and prime as necessary.
  2. Insert backing rod: Place a suitable backing rod at the required depth.
  3. Apply sealant: Extrude Sikaflex® PRO into the joint, ensuring full contact with the sides.
  4. Tool the joint: Firmly tool the sealant against the joint sides for proper adhesion.
  5. Remove masking tape: If used, remove tape before skin formation.
  6. Smooth the surface: Use a compatible tooling agent for a smooth finish.

Sikaflex® PRO limitations:

  • Do not use on natural stone, bituminous substrates, or EPDM rubber.
  • Not suitable for joints in or around swimming pools or for permanent water immersion.
  • Avoid exposing uncured sealant to alcohol-containing products.
  • Colour variations may occur due to UV exposure or chemical contact.

Sikaflex® PRO can be used on the following substrates:

  • Concrete: Requires Sika® Primer-3 N for optimal adhesion.
  • Masonry: Ensure surfaces are clean and primed with Sika® Primer-3 N.
  • Brick: Clean thoroughly and prime with Sika® Primer-3 N for best results.
  • Aluminium: Clean and pre-treat with Sika® Aktivator-205.
