Application Steps
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Mortar and concrete must be at the required design strength. Substrate tensile / compressive strengths (concrete, masonry, natural stone) must be confirmed by testing. The anchor hole must always be clean, dry, free from oil and grease etc. Loose particles must be removed from the holes. Threaded rods and rebar’s must be cleaned thoroughly and free from dirt, oil, grease, corrosion products or any other substances and particles which could affect adhesion.
MIXING
preparaing cartridge 300ml
- Unscrew and remove the cap
- Cut the end off the protective film
- Screw on the static mixer
- Place the cartridge into the application gun ready for use
preparing cartridge 385 & 585 ml
- Unscrew the cap
- Remove the cap
- Screw on the static mixer
- Place the cartridge into the application gun ready for use
- When the work is interrupted the static mixer nozzle can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been released. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.
Cleaning of Equipment
Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika Colma Cleaner. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
Colour Accuracy Disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
