Sikaflex®-11 FC

One part advanced polyurethane, elastomeric sealant/adhesive

Sikaflex®-11 FC is a one-component, gun-grade, adhesive and sealing compound of permanent elasticity. This dual-purpose material is based on a special moisture-cured polyurethane with an accelerated curing time that meets ASTM C920 Type S, Grade NS, Class 12.5, Use NT, I, M, G, A, O. and Federal Specification TT-S-00230C.

  • Excellent adhesion on all cement-based materials, brick, ceramics, glass, metals, wood, epoxy, polyester and acrylic resin.
  • Fast cure rate.
  • Good weathering and water resistance.
  • Non-corrosive.
  • Can be painted over with water, oil, and rubber-based paints. (Preliminary tests recommended).
  • High durability.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Clean all surfaces. Joint walls must be sound, clean, dry, frost-free, and free of oil and grease. Curing compound residues and any other foreign matter mustbe thoroughly removed. A roughened surface will also enhance bond.

  

Priming

Priming is not usually necessary for anodized aluminum, steel, non-absorbent materials such as glass, ceramics, stoneware and tiles. Most substrates only require priming if testing indicates a need or where sealant will be subjected to water immersion after cure. Consult Technical Service at 1-800-933-SIKA for additional information on priming.
