Sikadur®-53 FLV

Moisture-tolerant epoxy injection resin for sealing cracks wider than 5 mm

Product Overview

Sikadur®-53 FLV is a solvent-free, two-part epoxy injection resin engineered for crack sealing in difficult moisture conditions. Because it is moisture-insensitive, it can be pressure-injected into cracks that are damp, wet or even submerged, displacing water to achieve a sound bond. It is intended for sealing cracks wider than 5 mm and for bonding concrete and steel in moist environments. The cured resin is free of shrinkage, resistant to aggressive chemicals and keeps its strength even after curing underwater. With low mixed viscosity around 900 cps it flows readily under injection pressure. Typical users are repair specialists working on water-retaining and below-grade structures. Space Arc Engineering supplies Sikadur®-53 FLV throughout India as an authorized Sika distributor with technical back-up.

Features & Benefits

  • Moisture-insensitive, so it injects into damp, wet and submerged cracks
  • Displaces water on the crack faces to develop a reliable bond
  • Cures without shrinkage and gains strength even underwater
  • Resists aggressive chemicals for durable, long-lasting crack repairs
  • Low mixed viscosity allows easy high-pressure injection of wider cracks
  • Strong adhesion to concrete, masonry, stone and steel substrates

Technical Highlights

CoverageConsumption depends on crack width and depth; resin suits cracks wider than 5 mm. Refer to TDS for project quantities.
StrengthUnderwater-cured compressive strength reaches about 70 N/mm² at 14 days with tensile adhesion over 10 N/mm² (concrete failure).
PerformanceMixed viscosity is around 900 cps at +30°C; pot life is about 18 minutes for a 100 g mass at +30°C.
Application ConditionsApply with product +10°C to +40°C and ambient/substrate +5°C to +40°C; mix continuously for at least 3 minutes.
PackagingSupplied in 5 kg pre-batched units (Part A 4 kg, Part B 1 kg), mixed 4:1 by weight.

Applications

  • Sealing live, water-bearing cracks in basements and retaining walls
  • Crack injection in water tanks, reservoirs and treatment plants
  • Repairing submerged cracks in dams, canals and marine structures
  • Bonding concrete and steel in tunnels and below-grade infrastructure
  • Structural crack sealing in damp industrial and commercial substructures

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sikadur®-53 FLV used for?

It is a moisture-insensitive epoxy resin for high-pressure injection of cracks wider than 5 mm, including damp, wet and submerged cracks, and for bonding concrete and steel in moist or underwater conditions.

Can it really be used on wet or submerged cracks?

Yes. The resin displaces water on the crack surfaces and cures even underwater without shrinkage, retaining its strength. This makes it suited to water tanks, basements, dams and marine repairs.

What is the mixing ratio and pot life?

Part A and Part B are mixed 4:1 by weight and stirred continuously for at least three minutes. Pot life is about 18 minutes for a 100 g mass at +30°C, so mix and inject promptly. Refer to the TDS for full guidance.

What strength does the cured resin reach?

Underwater-cured compressive strength is around 70 N/mm² at 14 days and tensile adhesion to concrete exceeds 10 N/mm², with failure in the concrete. Confirm exact figures from the current TDS.
