Sika® Ucrete® CR 460

Polyurethane

12 months from date of production

The Product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Always refer to the packaging.

Refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for information on safe handling and storage.

Sika® Ucrete® CR 460 has very good resistance to:

• Dilute mineral acids: chromic, hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric and sulphuric

• Dilute alkalis

• Most dilute organic acids

• Fats, oils and sugars

• Mineral oils, most hydrocarbons, fuels, alcohols and salts

• Cleaning agents and detergents

Sika® Ucrete® CR 460 has limited resistance to:

• Concentrated mineral

• Organic acids

• Alkalis

Sika® Ucrete® CR 460 is not resistant to:

• Aggressive organic solvents such as xylene and acetone

Use closed cell, polyethylene foam backing rod.

The substrate temperature must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation decreasing adhesion.

100–120 minutes

Poor adhesion due to inadequate surface preparation

Note: Primers are adhesion promoters. Primers cannot replace proper surface preparation and surface cleaning.

Do not use primers for improving poorly prepared or poorly cleaned joint surfaces.

Poor adhesion due to incorrect priming procedure

Incorrectly defined or uncontrolled priming procedures may lead to a variation in Product performance.

Test adhesion on project-specific substrates and agree on procedures with all parties before full project application. For more information contact Sika Technical Services.

The substrate must be sound, clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, cement laitance, sealant residues and poorly bonded coatings which could affect adhesion of the primer and sealant.

The substrate must be of sufficient strength to withstand the stress induced by the sealant during movement.

Use techniques such as wire brushing, grinding, grit blasting or other suitable mechanical methods to remove all weak substrate material.

Repair all damaged joint edges with suitable Sika repair products.

Remove dust, loose and friable material from all surfaces before applying the sealant.

1. Using a slow speed stirrer, mix the content of the Part A pail for 30 seconds to disperse any separated material.
2. Add the content of the Part B.
3. Mix the two parts for a further 1–2 minutes. Do not mix excessively to minimise air entrainment.
4. Ensure that no undispersed Part A is left on the side of the pail.

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

1. Apply the primer to the substrate using a brush. A thin layer (± 100 μm) should be applied to the joint edges.
2. While the Sika® Ucrete® P 460 is still tacky (30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the temperature), pour in the mixed Product to fill the joint flush to the surface. The Product can be applied on angled surfaces up to 2 % without slumping.
3. When the primer has become tack-free, apply a second coat before pouring the Product to ensure proper bonding.
4. Use a spatula to smooth the surface and remove trapped air.

Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Remover-208. Once cured, hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
