Product Details
Shelf Life
One (1) year, when unopened and stored as directed.
Storage Conditions
- Store in original, unopened containers in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight at a minimum of 40 °F.
- In cold weather, keep containers at room temperature for at least 24 hours before using.
- Storage at elevated temperatures over 100 °F will reduce shelf life.
Solid content by volume
99% solids
Volatile organic compound (VOC) content
30 g/l or 0.25 lbs/gal less water and exempt solvents.
Application
Substrates
For use over the following exterior wall substrates: Poured concrete/unit masonry, ASTM C1177 type sheathings, including DensGlass™ or DensElement exterior sheathing (sheathing only), eXP™ sheathing, GlasRoc® sheathing, Securock™ glass-mat sheathing, Weather Defense™ Platinum sheathing, GreenGlass® sheathing; PermaBase™ cement-board and other cement-boards (ASTM C1325 Type A Exterior); Untreated Exposure I or exterior plywood sheathing (grade C-D or better), Untreated Exposure I OSB, Zip Sheathing (sheathing only) Pressure and Fire Treated wood sheathing, steel, aluminum; and Sika Facades air/water-resisitve barriers.
Drying Time
Typically skins in 25 to 40 minutes and cures in 4 to 6 hours of application at 75 °F and 50% relative humidity.
- Warmer and more humid conditions will accelerate curing.
- Cure times will be extended in dry and cold conditions.
- SikaWall MaxFlash can be applied to frostfree, dry substrates above 25 °F, but curing will not be initiated until temperature rises and remains above 32 °F.
