Frequently Asked Questions
What is the working time at different temperatures?
At 70°F, the working time ranges from 90-120 minutes. However, at 90°F, it shortens to 50-60 minutes. Additionally, cooler temperatures extend the pot life significantly.
How much coverage does one unit provide?
The high-flow mix using 3-bag aggregate configuration yields approximately 1.35 ft³ per 230 lb unit. Therefore, coverage calculations are straightforward for project planning.
Can this epoxy grout be pumped?
Yes, SikaFlow 649 is specifically designed for pumping applications. Furthermore, it works with both peristaltic and piston pumps. Additionally, the high-flow version pumps effectively over distances up to 50 feet.
What are the placement thickness limits?
The minimum placement thickness is ½ inch (13 mm). However, for lifts exceeding 6 inches (152 mm), consult with a sales representative first. Additionally, proper planning ensures optimal results.
Is vibration required during placement?
No vibration is necessary during placement. Instead, use long, slow strokes with tools like straps or boards. Moreover, avoid vibration as it may introduce unwanted air pockets.
What chemical resistance does it offer?
SikaFlow 649 resists various chemicals found in industrial environments. Specifically, it handles oils and solvents effectively. Additionally, it demonstrates low water absorption characteristics.
