Joint Design | Maximum joint width 50 mm, max depth 50 % of joint width Joint widths are calculated as in BS6213: Width=(M x 100)/F + M Where M = movement and F = movement accommodation Factor For maximum movement accommodation, it is recommended that: 1. The sealant joint depth should be no less than 5 mm. 2. Joint depth should be 5 mm for joints up to 10 mm wide. 3. Joints above 10 mm in width should be half the width in depth up to 20 mm and minimum 10 mm for wider joints. Joint depth may be adjusted to the correct size using EVERBUILD JOINT BACKER ROD. |

Everbuild Tecnic Silicone 825 Application Instructions
Primer
Everbuild Tecnic® Silicone 825 does not require a primer on most common surfaces, although adhesion tests are recommended prior to full scale application. If the joint is likely to be immersed or if adhesion is poor (especially on porous surfaces) use SIKA PRIMER 3N. To improve adhesion (if required) to non-porous surfaces, prime with Sika Aktivator 205.
Substrate Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust, grease and other contaminants. Remove dust with compressed air. Degrease by using a solvent soaked pad, following by wiping with a clean cloth. Following cleaning procedure and materials are recommended:
Glass | Degrease with alcohol or MEK |
Aluminium, light alloys and stainless steel | Degrease with alcohol or MEK |
Other Metals | Lightly abrade then de- grease as above |
Wood | Lightly abrade surface then remove dust |
Plastics | Degrease using an agent recommended by plastics manufacturer |
Concrete and other alkaline surfaces | Brush and remove dust |
Polyester Powder Coated Aluminium (PPCA) | Sika® Cleaner P and Sika® Aktivator-205 |
