Sikadur®-33

High-modulus, high-strength, structural, very rapid-curing epoxy, smooth-paste adhesive

Sikadur 33 is a 2-component, 100 % solids, moisture-tolerant, high-modulus, high-strength, structural, smooth-paste epoxy adhesive. It conforms to the current ASTM C-881, Types I and II, Grade-3, Class B/C* and AASHTO M-235 specifications. *except for gel time

  • New smooth-paste consistency for vertical, horizontal and overhead crack sealing.
  • Very rapid curing, even in thin film, for faster pressure-injection grouting.
  • Injection may proceed as soon as 1 hour after application.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of standing water. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes and any other contaminants.
Work: Concrete - Should be cleaned and prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminant free, open textured surface by blast cleaning or equivalent mechanical means. Steel - Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by blast cleaning.

MIXING

Pre-mix each component. Proportion equal parts by volume of Component ‘B’ and Component ‘A’ into a clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with Sika paddle on low-speed (400–600 rpm) drill until uniform in color. Mix only that quantity that can used within its pot life.
