Sikaflex®-2c NS EZ Mix+
TWO-COMPONENT, NON-SAG, POLYURETHANE ELASTOMERIC CLASS 50 SEALANT
Sikaflex®-2c NS EZ Mix+ is a two-component, premium-grade, polyurethane-based, elastomeric sealant. It is principally a chemical cure in a non-sag consistency.
- True Movement Capability Class 50 sealant.
- Chemical cure allows the sealant to be placed in joints exceeding ½ in. in depth.
- High elasticity with a tough, durable, flexible consistency.
- Exceptional cut and tear resistance.
- Exceptional adhesion to most substrates without priming.
- Can be mixed in the field with Universal Color-Pak.
- Non-sag even in wide joints.
- Easy to mix.
- Can be applied to green concrete 24 hours after pour.
- Can be applied to damp concrete 60 minutes after getting wet.
- Paintable with water-, oil-, and rubber-base paints.
- Jet fuel resistant.
- Tested Joining and Sealing Material for Drinking Water Systems (UL file no. MH17464).
- Tested in fire-rated assemblies.
- Shore A hardness can be increased by using “TG+” additive. See Sikaflex®-2C NS TG+ data sheet for specific details.
Usage
- Intended for use in all properly designed working joints with a minimum depth of ¼ inch.
- Ideal for vertical and horizontal applications.
- Placeable at temperatures as low as 40 °F.
- Adheres to most substrates commonly found in construction.
- An effective sealant for use in Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS).
- Submerged environments, such as canal and reservoir joints.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Priming is typically not necessary. Most substrates only require priming if sealant will be subjected to water immersion after cure. Testing should be done, however, on questionable substrates, to determine if priming is needed. Consult Technical Service or Sikaflex Primer Technical Data Sheet for additional information on priming. Note: Most Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) manufacturers recommend the use of a primer. When EIFS manufacturer specifies a primer or if on-site bond testing indicates a primer is necessary, Sikaflex 429 primer is recommended. On-site adhesion testing is recommended with final system prior to the start of a job.
MIXING
Pour entire contents of Component ‘B’ into pail of Component ‘A’. Add entire contents of Color-pak into pail and mix with a low-speed drill (400–600 rpm) and Sikaflex paddle.* Mix for 3–5 minutes to achieve a uniform color and consistency. Scrape down sides of pail periodically. Avoid entrapment of air during mixing. When mixing in cold weather (<50 °F), do not force the mixing paddle to the bottom of the pail. After adding Component ‘B’ and Color-pak into Component ‘A’, mix the top 1/2 to 3/4 of the pail during the first minute of mixing. After scraping down the sides of the pail, mix again for another minute. The paddle should reach the bottom of the pail between the first and second minute of mixing. Scrape down the sides of the pail a second time and then mix for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sealant is well blended. Color-pak must be used with tint base. For pre-pigmented Limestone base, just mix with low speed drill and Sikaflex paddle (no Color-pak needed).
