APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

For the application of SikaBond® T-2 all standard construction guidelines apply.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The substrate must be clean, dry, sound and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Paint, cement laitance and other poorly adhering contaminants must be removed. SikaBond® T-2 adheres without primers and/or activators.
However, for optimum adhesion and critical, high performance applications, such as on multi-story buildings, highly stressed joints, extreme weather exposure or water immersion, the following priming and/or pre-treatment procedures shall be followed:
 

Non-porous substrates
Aluminium, anodised aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel, powder coated metals or glazed tiles have to be cleaned and pre-treated using Sika® Aktivator-205, wiped on with a clean towel. After allowing a flash-off time of > 15 minutes (< 6 hours) apply Sika® Primer-3 N with a brush. before bonding, allow a further flash-off time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours).
PVC has to be primed with Sika® Primer-215. Allow a further flash-off time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours) before bonding.
 

Porous substrates
Concrete, aerated concrete and cement based renders, mortars and bricks shall be primed using Sika® Primer-3 N applied with a brush. Before sealing, allow a flash-off time of > 30 minutes (< 8 hours).
 

For more detailed advice and instructions please contact our Technical Service Department.
 
Note: Primers are adhesion promoters. They are neither a substitute for the correct cleaning of a surface, nor do they improve the strength of the surface significantly.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

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