Sika Loadflex Polyurea

Sika® Loadflex® Polyurea

Load-Bearing, Semi-Rigid, Polyurea Control Joint Filler
Description Sika Loadflex Polyurea is a technologically advanced, two component, quick-setting, semi-rigid,
solvent-free, self-leveling control joint filler.
Where to Use Sika Loadflex Polyurea is recommended for use as filler for interior, horizontal saw cuts or
preformed control and construction joints.
Typically installed in facilities such as warehouses and industrial plants, where such joints are
subject to load bearing conditions involving wear and impact.
Sika Loadflex Polyurea is also used for repairing interior concrete slabs that have experienced
random cracking due to shrinkage.
Advantages Quick-set formula reduces down time.
Construction

Excess material can be shaved off smooth as early as 15 minutes or as late as 24 hours after
placement at 72ºF (22ºF).
Cures at temperatures down to - 13ºF (- 25ºC).
Hard, load bearing filler designed to withstand industrial traffic.
Provides even load transfer across floor joints, thereby protecting joint edges from breaking
down under traffic.
Two components, easy to use, 1:1 mix ratio.
Seals joints from collecting dirt, dust and debris.
Low modulus of elasticity.
Improved moisture sensitivity.

How to Use
Surface Preparation Surface must be clean, sound and dry. Remove all surface contaminants i.e. dust, grease,
curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles and disintegrated materials that
might prevent bond. Ideally this should be accomplished by mechanical means.
Mixing Pre-mix each component thoroughly before using.
Sika Loadflex Polyurea must be machine mixed/dispensed using a 1 to 1 ratio, plural
component pump and 30 element static mixing nozzle.
Note: Sika Loadflex Polyurea sets too quickly to allow hand mixing.
Priming Priming of concrete substrates is not usually required under typical circumstances. However, due
to variations in concrete quality, surface conditions, surface preparation and ambient conditions,
reference test areas are recommended to determine whether priming is required to prevent the
possibility of blisters, debonding, pinholes and other aesthetic variations.
Construction

Application Dispense Sika Loadflex Polyurea directly from the static mixing nozzle into joints or cracks until
the entire void is filled. Maintain a steady flow of material to eliminate overlapping as this may
cause bubbling within the material. Joints should be slightly over filled and shaved level with
the adjacent joint edges to facilitate a smooth appearance. For best results, shave the over-fill
between 15 minutes to 24 hours after placing, when cured at 73ºF (23ºC).
Limitations For best results, Sika Loadflex Polyurea should be installed 90 days or longer after initial
concrete placement, when the majority of concrete shrinkage has occurred and control
joints are static. Refer to CSA standard A23.1-04 section 7.3.21 (see note 1).
Substrate temperature should be - 13ºF (- 25ºC) minimum and rising at time of application.
For interior, horizontal use only.
For best results, materials should be maintained between 65º - 86ºF (18º - 30ºC).
Do not thin. Solvents may prevent proper cure.
Sika Loadflex Polyurea is a vapour barrier after cure.
Not for sealing cracks under hydrostatic pressure.
Not to be used in moving cracks or expansion joints.
Not recommended for use as joint filler under resilient flooring or under polymer flooring.
