Sikadur Combiflex

Sealing System for Cracks and Problem Joints with Large

Movements

Construction

Description

The Sikadur-Combiflex joint sealing system consists of two products :

Sikadur 31 CF Normal
Combiflex strip (SikaNorm - Hypalon)
Sikadur 31 CF Normal is epoxy resin based and establishes a strong bond to the
substrate and the Combiflex is a highly elastic, chemically and UV resistant sheet
membrane

Uses

Universal joint sealing compound for building construction, e.g.

For movement joint in
Sealing internal joints in new or refurbished concrete water tanks, reservoirs,
pipelines, sewers, and swimming pools
Joints in bunds and tanks for heating oil and fuel oil, etc
Sealing joints in basements, roof joints, joints between rigid and flexible
surfaces.
Sealing joints in tunnels, silos and roofs.
Sealing and repairing joints that have more movement than can be
accommodated by conventional elastomeric wet applied sealants

Instruction for Use

Surface Preparation

The concrete surface must be mechanically cleaned. The laitance must be

removed to establish good adhesion followed by vacuum/dust removal.

Age of concrete shall be minimum 3 weeks

All surfaces must be clean, sound and free from any oil, grease or other
contaminants
Application

Apply the well mixed Sikadur 31 CF Normal both sides along the joint or crack on
the prepared substrate with a spatula or notched trowel. Layer thickness 1-2 mm.
Place the cleaned activated Combiflex strip immediately into the adhesive layer with
the masking tape facing upwards and press well in with a roller.
Finally cover the inserted Combiflex strip laterally with Sikadur 31 CF Normal to
provide 1-2 mm cover.
When the adhesive has begun to set remove masking tape.
Should the Combiflex strip has to be welded into longer pieces (T-pieces etc), clean
the surface with Colma cleaner and simultaneously use hot air weld thermal
welding.
This joint sealing method can be carried out horizontally, vertically or overhead,
however it should be noted that Sikadur 31 CF Normal is not a contact adhesive
and some support of the uncured strip may be required on vertical and overhead
surfaces

Drawing Applications

Sikadur Combiflex 2/3

Welding

The minimum lap is 40 mm.

The lap areas should be clean and dry free from grease or dust. Before welding the
lap should be cleaned with Sika Colma Cleaner. The lap should be fully sealed and
not be able to be parted with a screw driver blade. Use suitable hot air welding.
Hot air welding: as the hot air is being applied into the lap through a slot nozzle, the
lap must be rolled flat using a solid rubber pressure roller.

Limitations

Clean Combiflex strip at least hour/ maximum 8 hours with Colma Cleaner before
all applications. In heavy traffic areas (eg. parking decks) steel cover plates should
be used over Combiflex joints.
If a bituminous wearing layer is installed on top of a previously installed Combiflex
strip, the temperature of the hot mix must not exceed 180oC for 50 mm thickness.
At up to 10 mm thickness the temperature may be max. 220C.
If necessary apply in layers and allow to cool down in between.
