Sikadure 41 CF Slow | MCTCHEMICALS | SIKA PAKISTAN

Usage

Sikadure 41 CF Slow is a high-performance epoxy-based adhesive, bonding agent, and repair material, primarily used for:

• Bonding fresh concrete to old concrete surfaces in repairs and resurfacing applications.
• Fixing cracks and voids in concrete structures.
• Installing floor toppings and screeds, offering excellent adhesion to both dry and wet surfaces.
• Concrete bonding in high-strength applications such as industrial floors, highways, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.

Application

• Surface Preparation: Ensure that all surfaces to be bonded are clean, sound, and free from dust, grease, or other contaminants. It may be necessary to roughen smooth or sealed surfaces to improve adhesion.
• Mixing: Follow the manufacturer’s mixing instructions carefully to ensure the best results.
• Application Method: Apply the mixed product to the prepared surface using a trowel, brush, or roller, depending on the nature of the application.
• Curing: Allow the adhesive or repair material to cure according to the specified time. Curing times may vary depending on environmental conditions and material thickness.

Coverage

The coverage of Sikadure 41 CF Slow depends on the specific application, surface roughness, and material thickness. However, as a general guideline:

• For bonding applications, a typical coverage is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 m² per kg for a thin layer application (depending on the surface profile and condition).
• For repair applications and surface treatments, coverage may vary and is dependent on the thickness of the applied layer and the surface texture.

Advantages

1. Slow Setting Time: This makes it ideal for large-scale projects or in conditions where slower curing is necessary.
2. High Bond Strength: The product provides excellent adhesion to both dry and wet surfaces, ensuring strong, long-lasting bonds between old and new concrete.
3. Durability: Sikadure 41 CF Slow offers enhanced resistance to mechanical wear, weathering, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
4. Enhanced Working Time: The slow-setting nature of the adhesive offers more flexibility for larger repair jobs or for use in hot climates where rapid curing may not be ideal.
5. Chemical Resistance: Sikadure 41 CF Slow exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, providing long-term durability in industrial and commercial environments.
6. High Strength: It enhances the structural integrity of the concrete surfaces it bonds, making it suitable for high-stress and high-load applications.
7. Ideal for Hot Climates: The slow curing nature of Sikadure 41 CF Slow makes it perfect for use in hot climates where fast-setting adhesives may be too quick to handle.
