Okapol SH

Universal resin-based binder and adhesive

Solvent free
Low in emission
Low odor
For mechanical closing and bridging cracks and joints in screeds, concrete
Easy to mix
Extremely fast curing
Liquefied or pasty consistency

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 tested according to VOB, Part C, DIN 18 352, DIN 18 365 or DIN 18 356. Screed edges must be solid and load-bearing. Remove loose and soft screed edging if necessary and 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. Follow additional installation and floor preparation guidelines located in the latest TTMAC and TCNA installation manuals.

Transfer the contents of the bottle from Okapol SH component B to component A and close the bottle. Then shake vigorously for approx. 15 seconds until a uniform color is formed. Cut the tip of the bottle grommet to match the width of the crack. Mix the partial amounts in the volume ratio 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 into the wet substance fire-dried quartz sand until complete saturation. To glue angle brackets, 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) ³/₁₆”	2 parts	1 part
3.0 - 5.0 mm (middle size) ¹/₈”- ³/₁₆”	1 part	1 part
1.0 - 3.0 mm (small size) ¹/₃₂”- ¹/₈”	Without	Pure

Okapol SH can also be used for under-injection of hollow spaces below parquet elements.
Cautious over finished surfaces: After curing of Okapol SH can only be removed mechanically from the surface. When fresh, clean thoroughly with Bakit RT and wipe with well absorbent paper towels.
