Preparation & Priming - Key Success Factors for Joint Sealing
We all know that the success of any project is reliant on the quality of your preparation. When it comes to a successful and durable sealant job - priming and preparation is key. Preparation, if done properly, would probably eliminate 95% of sealing related issues. All weak material on the bonding surface of porous substrates must be removed, and all surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dew or frost. Always refer to the instructions on the Sika product data sheet before starting your preparations.
We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality primers, adhesion promoters, application tools, and cleaning solutions that are designed to enhance the installation, adhesion and performance of sealants.
