SIK1099
SIK4822

Sikaflex-406 KC is a 1-part self-levelling booster accelerated elastic floor joint sealant with high mechanical and chemical resistance. Rapid and homogeneous curing throughout the entire sealant is achieved by the addition of the Sikaflex 406 KC Booster.

  • Movement capability ±25 %.
  • Low stress on joint edges.
  • Very high mechanical and chemical resistance e.g. to diesel and jet fuel.
  • Recessed and broadcasted joints can be opened to traffic after 3 hours.
  • May only be used by experienced professionals.

Professional use only - from the 24th August 2023, adequate training is required before industrial or professional use of this product.

Sikaflex 406 KC is a one part self-levelling booster accelerated elastic floor joint sealant with high mechanical and chemical resistance. Rapid and homogeneous curing throughout the entire sealant is achieved by the addition of the Sikaflex 406 KC Booster. Sikaflex®-406 KC is especially designed for elastic joint sealing between rails, adjacent surfaces and with Icosit KC products.

Sikaflex®-406 KC may only be used by experienced professionals.

Used for connection joints between steel, defined asphalt types, concrete, granite, rails in track superstructure, roads and floors.

It is also used on movement joints in road and airport pavements, pedestrian and traffic areas and other situations where early exposure to traffic is required.

Product Information


Shelf Life: 12 months from date of production.

Storage Conditions: The product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C. Always refer to packaging.

Density: ~1,40 kg/l.

Chemical Base: i-Cure® Technology polyurethane accelerated with Sika® Booster-Technology.

Pot Life: 20 min (23°C / 50 % r.h.) with Sikaflex®-406 KC Booster.



Substrate Preparation


  • The substrate must be clean, dry (concrete: damp / wet / dry), sound and free from oils, grease, dust, laitance and loose or friable particles.
  • All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of any activators, primers or sealant.
  • For optimum adhesion and critical, high performance applications, such as rail connection joints, highly stressed joints, extreme weather exposure or water immersion, the following priming and/or pre-treatment procedures must be followed:

Concrete, Steel, Stainless Steel and Asphalt (acc. to EN 13108-1 and EN 13108-6)

  • Fresh cut asphalt must have a bonding surface with minimum 50 % exposed aggregate and must be primed using Sika® Primer-3 N.
  • For more details such as application and flash-off times, refer to the most recent Product Data Sheet of the respective pretreatment product.

Damp Or Green Concrete:

  • Must be primed with Sikadur®-32 Normal, refer to Product Data Sheet.
  • For more detailed information especially before using Sikaflex®-406 KC on asphalt, rubber or EPDM, contact local Sika Technical Services.
  • Note: Primers and activators are adhesion promoters and not an alternative to improve poor preparation / cleaning of the joint surface. Primers also improve the long term adhesion performance of the sealed joint.



Mixing


  • For mixing an electric stirrer such as SikaMixer U-100 must be used.
  • Before adding the Sikaflex®-406 KC Booster the material should be premixed of about 60–90 seconds depending on the material temperature.
  • Add Sikaflex®-406 KC Booster to Sikaflex®-406 KC and mix continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until a uniformly coloured mix has been achieved.
  • Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS

  • Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in method statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

Joint Backing

  • After the required substrate preparation, insert a suitable backing rod to the required depth.

Priming

  • Prime the joint surfaces as recommended in substrate preparation. Avoid excessive application of primer to avoid causing puddles at the base of the joint.
  • Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.

Application

  • Pour Sikaflex®-406 KC into the joint ensuring that it comes into full contact with the sides of the joint and avoiding any air entrapment.

Limitations


  • Sikaflex®-406 KC cannot be used on slopes > 3 %.
  • Colour variations may occur due to the exposure in service to chemicals, high temperatures and/or UVradiation (especially with white colour shade). This effect is aesthetic and does not adversely influence the technical performance or durability of the product.
  • Sikaflex®-406 KC can be over-painted with most conventional facade paint coating systems. However, paints must first be tested to ensure compatibility by carrying out preliminary trials (e.g. according to ISO technical paper: Paintability and Paint Compatibility of Sealants). Optimum results are obtained when the sealant is allowed to fully cure first. Note: non-flexible paint systems may impair the elasticity of the sealant and lead to cracking of the paint coating. Depending on type of paint used, plasticizer migration may occur causing the paint surface to become ‘tacky’.
  • Do not use Sikaflex®-406 KC on natural stone without pre-testing according to ISO 16938.
  • Do not use for structural glazing or as a glass sealant.
  • Do not use on bituminous substrates, natural rubber, EPDM rubber or on any building materials which might leach oils, plasticisers or solvents that could degrade the sealant.
  • Do not use on bituminous substrates, natural rubber or any building materials which might leach oils, plasticisers or solvents that could degrade the sealant. These types of materials if in direct contact with Sikaflex®-406 KC have to be tested for compatibility prior to application. For specific advice contact Sika technical services.
  • Do not use Sikaflex®-406 KC to seal joints in or around swimming pools.
  • Do not expose uncured Sikaflex®-406 KC to alcohol containing products as this may interfere with the curing reaction.
  • Sikaflex®-406 KC is not resistant to alcohols, organic acids, concentrated alkalis, concentrated acids or hydrocarbons besides the mentioned.
