Sikadur-53

Fillerised Injection Resin

ProductDescription

Sikadur-53 is a solvent-free, two component moisture insensitive liquid based on

epoxy resin containing special fillers.

Uses Sikadur -53 is used as an injectable resin to seal damp and wet cracks by high

pressure injection (width of the cracks > 0.5 mm). As a grouting liquid for theadhesion of concrete and steel under water (by water displacement).

Advantages Cures without shrinkage.High resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals.Excellent adhesion to salt - water immersed, cement bound substrates.High density ensures complete water displacement.High mechanical strengths even after hardening under water.

Appl icat ionMix ratio Comp. A : B = 8 : 1 parts by weight

Comp. A : B = 3.6 : 1 parts by volume.Appl ication Add comp. (B) to comp. (A) and stir with a mixing paddle attached to an electric

hand-drill (max. 400 RPM to avoid entrapping air). Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutesuntil an even green colour of the mixture is obtained. Clean all tools immediatelyafter use with Colma-Cleaner or another suitable solvent (e.g. toluene, xylene).

Pot li fe (20 kg) C minutes20 ~ 3030 ~ 1540 ~ 7.5

Important After having mixed comp. (A) with comp. (B) observe a waiting time of 15 minutes(at 20C) in order to allow the mixture to pre-react for an optimal adhesion underwater.
