Information

Application Details
®
Consumption / Yield 1.11 kg of Sikadur -52 LP (IN) is ~ equal to 1 l injection resin.
Substrate Preparation Requirements:
Sound, clean, free from oil and grease and surface treatments etc.
Pre-treatment for good bond:
Concrete, mortar, stone should be thoroughly prepared by high pressure water
jetting or mechanical means such as grinding, chiselling etc. Cracks must be
cleaned to remove dust with compressed air.

Content

Application
Instructions
Mixing Part A : Part B = 0.8 : 0.2 (by weight)
Mixing Time Pre-batched packaging:
Add all of part B to part A. Mix with an electric mixer at slow speed (max. 250 rpm)
for at least 3 minutes. Avoid entraining air.
Bulk packaging:
Add both parts in the correct proportion into a suitable clean, dry container and mix
in the same way as for the pre-batched units.
Application Method / Successful application depends on very careful preparation. The surface to be
Tools treated must be structurally sound, free from standing water, oil, grease, surface
contaminants. Dirt, dust and other foreign materials must be removed. Concrete

 which is fully contaminated with oil / grease, must be removed to the depth of sound
& uncontaminated concrete.

Impregnation of cracks on horizontal slabs:

Impregnation is applied with a paint brush or roller until complete saturation of the
substrate is achieved. Cracks are sealed by pouring mixed Sikadur® 52 LP(IN)
directly from the mixing vessel between two “dams” made from Sikaflex® sealant.
Crack penetrating slabs to their soffit should first be sealed on the underside with
®
Sikadur -31 epoxy mortar or a suitable cementitious Sika mortar.

Injection of cracks on horizontal / vertical slabs:

Injection flange / nipples are fixed along the crack line at an approximately 25 cm
®
center-to-center distance with Sikadur -31. Crack mouth should be opened and
®
sealed with Sikadur -31. Crack penetrating slabs to their soffit should also be
®
sealed on the underside with Sikadur -31 epoxy mortar or a suitable cementitious
®
Sika mortar. Mixed Sikadur -52 LP (IN) can be injected under pressure through
injection ports using injection pump, such as Aliva AL-1200, AL-1250 or the Sika®
Hand Pump. As soon as injection resin oozes out of the next injection port, the first
one is sealed and injection process is continued from next port.
Construction

For horizontal crack, injection should start from any of the ends and to be continued
and completed till the last port is used. For vertical crack, injection should start from
the lowest port and continued upwards.

After completion of the injection process, the injection ports as well as the sealing
materials between the ports are removed.
®
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika Colma-Cleaner immediately
after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
Potlife 1 kg mass (According ASTM C 881)
Temperature Time
+30°C ~ 50 min

Notes on Application / Maximum width of cracks to be injected: 5 mm.

Limitations ®
Sikadur -52 LP (IN) is suitable for dry and moist condition.
