Sikadur®-53 UF (Mortar)
MOISTURE INSENSITIVE EPOXY RESIN MORTAR

DESCRIPTION CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES

Sikadur®-53 UF (Mortar) is a solvent free, three-com- ▪ High early strength
ponent moisture insensitive, epoxy resin based mor- ▪ Cures without shrinkage
tar. It has been developed to meet special require- ▪ Excellent adhesion to cement substrate even under
ment of concrete repair particularly in damp, wet con- salt water
dition. After mixing, the mortar is placed on moist con-
crete and it cures to form a rigid and high strength ma-
terial.

USES
Sikadur®-53 UF (Mortar) may only be used by experi-
enced professionals.

Sikadur®-53 UF (Mortar) is used for:

▪ For repair of damp and wet concrete
▪ For rapid installation and repair

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mixing Ratio Part A : Part B : Part C = 2 : 1 : 18 (by weight)
Consumption ~2.1 kg/m2 per mm of thickness.
Layer Thickness 60 mm max.
When using multiple units, one after the other. Do not mix the following
unit until the previous one has been used in order to avoid a reduction in
handling time.
Flowability Sag Flow : Non-sag upto 20mm thickness on vertical surface
Product Temperature +10°C min. / +40°C max.
Ambient Air Temperature +5°C min. / +40°C max
Substrate Temperature +5°C min. / +40°C max
Pot Life ~ 20 minutes (100 g mass at +27°C) (FIP 5.1)
The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at
high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quant-
ity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another
method is to chill parts A+B and C before mixing them (not below +5°C).
