Sika® FloorJoint XS

CARBON FIBRE PERFABRICATED FLOOR JOINT PANEL

Sika® FloorJoint XS  is a carbon fiber reinforced polymer Composite floor joint panel with high mechanical resistance for normal up to medium wear loading conditions. Its unique S-joint filled with SikaFlex maintains joint movement that eliminates point loading and improves load distribution that minimizes transverse vibrations. Sika® FloorJoint XS is ideal for joints with gaps in the substrate with a maximum width of 0.2 inch (5 mm) max. Positive joint movement 0.11 inch (3 mm).

  • Eliminates point loading
  • Installs level to existing slab surface
  • Reduced transverse vibrations
  • Preserves bearings in transport equipment
  • Can be used under any Sikafloor system
  • Similar thermal expansion coefficient to resin based floors
  • Rapid-Return-To-Service
  • High mechanical and chemical resistance
  • Non-corroding

  1. Width of the gap in the concrete below Sika® floor Joint panel during installation.
  2. Positive joint movement is the amount the gap can open, compared to its original width during installation of Sika® floor Joint panel. Do not exceed the maximum positive joint movement capacity, otherwise the teeth of the Sika® floor Joint panel become unsupported and may be damaged.
  3. Negative joint movement is the amount the gap can close, compared to its original width during installation of the Sika® floor Joint panel.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICATION

  • Cut parallel lines 3/4'' apart to a total of 3.25'' wide.

  • Chisel out saw cuts ensuring a minimum depth of 2.5 mm (0 .975 inches ( 2.5 mm) or approximately 975 mils).

  • Make sure the existing concrete edge will not be damaged from the removal process.

  • Remove all loose dirt, dust, debris. and free of all contaminations such as grease, coatings, oils etc.

  • Ensure the concrete substrate must be sound.

  • Place the panels in the opening to ensure proper fit. cut to length.

  • Place closed foam cell backer road into concrete joint, making sure the rod is below the surface of the prepared concrete.

  • Mix Sikadur 31 in accordance with the datasheet.

  • Apply Sikadur 31 in the cut out using the adjustable trowel to distribute the adhesive 3/4'' below the elevation of the concrete floor.

  • Apply Sikadur 31 to the bottom of the sika floor joint using a 1/4'' V notched trowel to avoid entrapped air when placing the panels.

  • install the panels into the freshly placed adhesive.

  • Press on panel to ensure complete contact with all of the adhesives.

  • The panel should lower or equal to the elevation of the adjacent concrete substrate.

  • After curing of the adessive, grinding may be necessary to ensure an even transition

  • Grout/fill the edges so no voids remain. remove excess grout material to reduce the amount of grinding needed.

  • After the adhesive and grout have cured, grind the panel and substrate to ensure a smooth transition.

  • After grinding the panel, coat with flooring system or seal with Sikafloor 304 W NA.
