MIXING
Mixing with Sikaflex® NP 2 and Sikaflex® SL 2
- Sikaflex® NP 2 and Sikaflex® SL 2 kit is a multi-component system with a configuration of Part A, Part B, and a Sikaflex®-900 color pack.
- Part B comes in a pouch and is usually squeezed into the resin.
- Transfer the entire contents of Part B to Part A container using a spatula or margin trowel.
- Part B must be mixed thoroughly with Part A. Before adding pigment, scrape the sides of the container to ensure the complete mixing of Parts A and B. With a slow-speed drill and a sealant mixing paddle, mix 4–6 minutes. Keep the paddle blade below the surface of the sealant to avoid whipping air into the sealant.
- Transfer the entire contents of one Sikaflex®-900 pigment can for each 1.5 gal mixed Part A and B. Use a spatula or knife to remove all the pigment from the container. Continue mixing with a slow-speed drill and slotted paddle until the color is uniform. During the process, scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container several times to obtain a complete mix.
- 3-gallon (11.37 L) unit: Use 2 Part B and 2 Sikaflex®-900 pigment containers for each Part A container. Mix as instructed under a 1-1/2 gallon (5.7 L) unit.
