Sikadur-41CF (ABC) | MCTCHEMICALS | SIKA PAKISTAN

Usage:

Sikadur-41 CF (ABC) is commonly used in the following applications:

1. Bonding: Ideal for bonding concrete to concrete, concrete to steel, and other materials.
2. Repairs: Effective for repairing cracks, spalls, and surface defects in concrete structures.
3. Sealing: Suitable for sealing joints and cracks in various structures, providing waterproofing and corrosion protection.
4. Injection: Can be injected into cracks and voids in concrete for structural reinforcement.
5. Anchor fixing: Used for securing anchor bolts, reinforcing bars, and other structural elements to concrete or masonry.

Application:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded or repaired are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants.
2. Mixing: Combine the two components (resin and hardener) in the prescribed ratio and mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes homogeneous.
3. Application: Apply the mixed Sikadur-41 CF (ABC) to the prepared surfaces using a trowel, putty knife, or injection equipment, depending on the nature of the task.
4. Curing: Allow the material to cure fully before subjecting it to any load or environmental stress. The curing time depends on ambient temperature and relative humidity.
5. Cleaning: Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with suitable solvents.

Coverage:

Coverage will depend on the substrate’s surface and the application method, but typical coverage rates for Sikadur-41 CF (ABC) are:

• Bonding: Approximately 1.5-2.5 m² per liter for a 1mm thickness.
• Repairs: Coverage varies with the depth and size of the cracks, but approximately 1.0-1.5 m² per liter can be expected.
• Sealing: Coverage depends on joint width and depth.
