APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mixing Ratio Component ‘A’ : Component ‘B’ = 2:1 by volume
Coverage 1 gal. (3.8 liters) yields 231 cu. in. (3,785 cm3)
Typical coverage is 150–175 ft2/gal. (3.7–4.3 m2/L) for surface sealing.
Coverage varies with porosity and surface profile of substrate. Higher
porosity concrete will reduce coverage. For crack healing, follow Application
instructions and allow to pond over cracks.
Pot Life Approximately 20 minutes

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Substrate must be clean, sound and free of surface
moisture. Remove dust, laitance, grease, oils, curing
compounds, waxes, impregnations, foreign particles,
coatings and disintegrated materials by mechanical
means (i.e. shot blasting, sandblasting, etc.). For best
results, substrate should be dry. Surfaces prepared by
Low Pressure Water Cleaning or High Pressure Water
Jetting methods should be allowed to dry for 24 hrs.
minimum [at 73 °F (23 °C)].
MIXING
Mix 1 part Component ‘B’ to 2 parts Component ‘A’ by
volume into a clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes
with Sika paddle or jiffy mixer on a low-speed (400–600
rpm) drill until uniformly blended. Mix only that quantity
which can be used within its pot life.
APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
To gravity feed cracks: Sikadur®-55 SLV is applied to
horizontal surfaces by flat squeegee or broom. Spread
material over area and allow to pond over cracks. Let
material penetrate into cracks and substrate. Remove
excess epoxy with roller leaving no visible surface film.
For cracks greater than 1/8 in. (3 mm) wide, fill crack
with oven-dried sand before applying Sikadur®-55 SLV.
Seal cracks from underside, when accessible, to prevent
leakage. A second treatment may be required on very
porous substrates. Apply second treatment before
broadcasting After treatment, wait a minimum of 20–30
minutes at 73 °F (23 °C) before broadcasting sand. Cover
with broadcast of an oven-dried 20/40 silica sand or
similar sand. Distribute evenly over the surface to excess
at a rate of 30-40 lbs./100 sq. ft.. Allow to cure 6 hours
minimum at 73 °F (23 °C). Remove any loose sand and
open to traffic once epoxy has cured. Consult Sika
Technical Service at 1-800-933-SIKA for additional
information.
To pressure inject cracks: Use automated injection
equipment. Set appropriate injection ports. Seal ports
and cracks with Sikadur® 31, Hi-Mod Gel, Sikadur®
Injection Gel or Sikadur® AnchorFix 2/Sikadur®
AnchorFix 500. When the epoxy adhesive has cured,
inject Sikadur®-55 SLV with steady pressure. Consult
Technical Service at 1-800-933- SIKA for additional
information. Mock ups to ascertain penetration on job
site conditions is strongly recommended. Actual
penetration should be verified by core testing.
LIMITATIONS
Do not thin. Addition of solvents will prevent proper
cure.
▪
Material is a vapor barrier after cure.▪
Do not apply if rain is imminent. Water exposure or
humidity will affect surface appearance and may cause
surface whitening.
▪
Not an aesthetic product. Color may alter due to
variations in lighting and/or UV exposure.
▪
Sealed concrete surface may appear blotchy due to
differential absorption.
▪
Allow sufficient time for the substrate to dry after rain
or other inclement conditions.
▪
Application temperature of substrate must be
minimum 5 °F (3 °C) above the dew point.
▪
Minimum ambient and substrate temperature 40 °F (4
°C). Maximum application temperature 95 °F (35 °C).
▪
Do not inject cracks greater than 1/4 in. (6 mm)
Consult Technical Service at 1-800-933-SIKA.
▪
Minimum age of concrete is 21–28 days, depending on
curing and drying conditions.
▪
Not designed to seal or inject cracks under hydrostatic
pressure during application.
▪
Penetration results will vary. Factors that may impede
penetration include, but are not limited to,
temperature (ambient and material), geometry of
crack, concrete porosity, and dirt inside cracks.
▪
Product is not appropriate for use in dynamic cracks.▪
BASIS OF PRODUCT DATA
Results may differ based upon statistical variations
depending upon mixing methods and equipment,
temperature, application methods, test methods, actual
site conditions and curing conditions.
