Versatile, easy-to-mix, 2-component silicate casting resin for the non-positive closure of screed cracks and screed joints, as well as for the gluing down of angle rails, nail strips, profile strips and strips of metal, plastic and wood. The consistency can be adjusted depending on the joint width. The fast hardening of Okapol SH allows the surface to be covered after 45 - 60 minutes.
The substrate must be inspected and ready for installation in accordance with the respective regulations of the individual countries as well as the current state of technology. Substrates must be pre-treated in accordance with the current BEB datasheet ('Evaluation and Preparation of Substrates').
Screed edges must be solid and load-bearing. Remove loose and soft screed edging. If necessary expand cracks with a cutting disc and vacuum debris with a powerful industrial vacuum cleaner. If necessary, cut approximately 20 - 30 cm cross sections and install Kiesel screed clamps.
Transfer the contents of the bottle from Okapol SH component B to component A and close the bottle. Then shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds until a uniform colour is formed. Cut the tip of the bottle grommet to match the width of the crack. Mix the partial amounts in the volume ratio of 1: 1 in the manner described above.
In the beginning, the viscosity of the mixed material is thin and perfect for narrower joints. After about 4 minutes, the material begins to become thicker. In this pasty form, it is ideal for wider joints. After the crack is closed flat trowel the surface and sprinkle fire-dried quartz sand into the wet substance until complete saturation. To glue angle rails, nail strips, metal profiles and strips Okapol SH is applied to the substrate using a suitable trowel following by immediate insertion while being pressed well into the wet adhesive. The glued materials must be held secured against slipping during the setting. If necessary, fix with suitable aids.For larger joints or for closing wider cracks Okapol SH can also be mixed with fire-dried quartz sand of 0.3 - 0.8 mm grain size. First, mix both components of Okapol SH and then add quartz sand.
| Joint width | Quartz sand | Okapol SH |
|---|---|---|
| > 5,0 mm (larger size) | 2 parts | 1 part |
| 3,0 to 5,0 mm (middle size) | 1 part | 1 part |
| 1,0 to 3,0 mm (small size) | without | pure |
Okapol SH can also be used for under-injection of hollow spaces below parquet elements.
Cautious over finished surfaces: After Okapol SH has cured, it can only be removed from the surface mechanically.
When fresh, clean thoroughly with Bakit RT and wipe with well absorbent paper towels.
