Surface Preparation Clean all surfaces. Joint walls must be sound, clean,
dry, frost-free, and free of oil and grease. Curing
compound residues and any other foreign matter must
be thoroughly removed. A roughened surface will also
enhance bond. Install bond breaker tape or backer rod
to prevent bond at base of joint.

For cold weather application, condition units at approximately 70°F; remove prior to using.
For best performance, Sikaflex-1a should be gunned into joint when joint slot is at mid-point of its designed
expansion and contraction.
Place nozzle of gun into bottom of the joint and fill entire joint. Keep the nozzle in the sealant, continue on
with a steady flow of sealant preceding the nozzle to avoid air entrapment.
Avoid overlapping of sealant to eliminate entrapment of air. Tool sealant to ensure full contact with joint walls
and remove air entrapment. Joint dimension should allow for 1/4 inch minimum and 1/2 inch maximum thickness for sealant. Proper design is 2:1 width to depth ratio,
For use in horizontal joints in traffic areas, the absolute minimum depth of the sealant is 1/2 in. and closed
cell backer rod is recommended.
1
n Allow
1-week cure at standard conditions when using Sikaflex-1a in total water immersion situations and
prior to painting.
n When overcoating with water, oil and rubber based paints, compatibility and adhesion testing is essential.
n Avoid exposure to high levels of chlorine. (Maximum continuous level is 5 ppm of chlorine.)
n Maximum depth of sealant must not exceed 1/2 in.; minimum depth is 1/4 in.
n Maximum expansion and contraction should not exceed 25% of average joint width.
n Do not cure in the presence of curing silicone sealants.
n Avoid contact with alcohol and other solvent cleaners during cure.
n Do not apply when moisture-vapor-transmission condition exists from the substrate as this can cause
bubbling within the sealant.
n Use opened cartridges and uni-pac sausages the same day.
n When applying sealant, avoid air-entrapment.
n Since system is moisture-cured, permit sufficient exposure to air.
n White color tends to yellow slightly when exposed to ultraviolet rays.
n Light colors can yellow if exposed to direct gas fired heating element.
n The ultimate performance of Sikaflex-1a depends on good joint design and proper application with joint
surfaces properly prepared.
n The depth of sealant in horizontal joints subject to traffic is 1/2 in.
n Do not tool with detergent or soap solutions.
n Do not use in contact with bituminous/asphaltic materials.

:
Eyes
Ingestion
Skin
:
:
:
May cause slight irritation to the respiratory system. May cause nausea, headaches, and
dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue. May cause allergic respiratory
sensitization.
Direct contact may cause mild irritation.
May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
May cause sensitization resulting in irritation, itching and redness.
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
Overexposure may cause dermatitis, asthma, skin and respiratory sensitization and decreased lung function.
Prolonged or repeated exposure to xylene may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the skin, dermatitis,
central nervous system (CNS) effects, heart muscle sensitization and arrhythmia, hearing loss, and brain, liver,
kidney damage. Xylene overexposure may affect fetal development. Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can
cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged
and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs
with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury, silicosis may result from breathing free silica. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated ethylbenzene and classified it as a possible
human carcinogen (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals, but
inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released
from product under normal conditions of use. Prolonged or repeated exposure to mineral spirits (petroleum
naphtha or stoddard solvent) may cause defatting, drying, and irritation of the skin, dermatitis, central nervous
system (CNS) effects, and adverse liver, kidney, and lung effects.

Vulkem ® 45 SSL
One-Part, Semi-Self-Leveling Sealant
Product Description
Vulkem 45 SSL is a one-part, moisture-curing, low-modulus
polyurethane sealant. It provides exceptional wear and tear
resistance required in high traffic areas.
Coverage Rate
308 linear feet of joint per gallon for 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. (6mm x
6mm) joints. For specific coverage rates that include joint size,
and usage efficiencies, visit our website usage calculator at
www.tremcosealants.com.
Features and Benefits
Vulkem 45 SSL is a traffic rated, pourable, semi-self-leveling
sealant with exceptional primerless adhesion and movement
capability. Vulkem 45 SSL is suitable for continuous immersion
in non-chlorinated water and can be applied to damp and green
concrete. The technology in Vulkem 45 SSL provides the sealant
with greater UV resistance and will not out gas.
Applicable Standards
Vulkem 45 SSL meets or exceeds the requirements of the
following specifications:
• ASTM C 920, Type S, Grade P, Class 50, Use T, M, A, O and I (Class 2)
• CAN/CGSB 19.13-M87, MC-1-25-B-N
Uses
Vulkem 45 SSL is formulated for use in expansion joints in
sidewalks, swimming pool decks, plazas, floors and any other
horizontal surface with slopes up to 6% (e.g. 1 in. rise for every
16 in. run).
Joint Design
Vulkem 45 SSL may be used in any horizontal joint designed in
accordance with accepted architectural/engineering practices.
Joint width should be 4 times anticipated movement, but not
less than 1/4 in. (6mm).
Colors
Black, Buff, Gray, Limestone, White.
Joint Backing
Closed cell or reticulated polyethylene backer rod is
recommended as joint backing to control sealant depth and to
ensure intimate contact of sealant with joint walls. Backer rod
needs to be properly friction fitted for use with self-leveling
sealants to prevent leak out of sealant during cure. Where
depth of joint will prevent the use of backer rod, an adhesive
backed polyethylene tape (bond breaker tape) should be used
to prevent three-sided adhesion. All backing should be dry at
time of sealant application.
Packaging
Quart (850mL) cartridges, 2-gal (7.6L) and 5-gal (18.9L) pails,
55-gal (208L) drums.

Sealant Dimensions
W = Sealant width, D = Sealant depth,
to provide the proper width-to-depth ratio and any primers
have been applied. Fill the joint completely from the backer rod
up, and allow the sealant to self-level to a smooth, even finish.
For a cleaner finish, mask the sides of the joint with tape prior
to filling.
EXPANSION JOINTS - The minimum width and depth of any
sealant application should be 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. (6mm x 6mm).
The depth (D) of sealant may be equal to the width (W) of joints
that are less than 1/2 in. wide. For joints ranging from 1/2 in.
to 1 in. (13mm to 25mm) wide, the sealant depth should be
approximately one-half of the joint width.
The maximum depth (D) of any sealant application should 1/2
in. (13mm). For joints that are wider than 1in. (25mm) contact
your local Tremco Sales Representative or Tremco Technical
Services.
Surface Preparations
Surfaces must be sound, clean, and dry. All release agents,
existing waterproofing, dust, loose mortar, laitance, paints, or
other finishes must be removed. This can be accomplished with
a thorough wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting, or solvent
washing, depending on the contamination.
Tremco recommends that surface temperatures be 40˚F (5˚C)
or above at the time the sealant is applied. If sealant must be
applied in temperatures below 40˚F, please refer to the Tremco
Guide for Applying Sealants in Cold Weather that can be found
on our website at www.tremcosealants.com.
Priming
Where deemed necessary, use Vulkem Primer #191 Low-VOC for
porous surfaces, and TREMprime Non-Porous Primer for metals. Vulkem 45 SSL typically adheres to concrete and stone without
primers; however, Tremco always recommends that a mock-up
or field adhesion test be performed on the actual materials
being used on the job to verify the need for a primer. A
description of the field adhesion test can be found in appendix
X1 of ASTM C 1193, Standard Guide for Use of Joint Sealants.
Application
Vulkem 45 SSL is easy to apply with conventional caulking
equipment. Ensure that the backer rod is friction fitted properly
Tested system numbers FF-D-1062 and FW-D-1058
Cure Time
At 75°F (23.9°C), 50% R.H. a skin forms within 5 hours. Curing
continues at a rate of approximately 1/16 in. (1.6mm) depth
per day. The cure time will increase as the temperature and/
or humidity decrease. A good rule of thumb is one additional
day of cure for every 10°F decrease in temperature. Cure time
can be increased by adding water when using pails of Vulkem
45 SSL. Please refer to the Technical Bulletin on Vulkem 45 SSL
Activator that can be found on our website at
www.tremcosealants.com.
Damp/Green Concrete
Vulkem 45 SSL can be applied to green concrete 24 hours after
the forms have been removed. All concrete sealers or curing
agents need to be removed by grinding before applying sealant.
The concrete can be damp during application, but do not apply
sealant where there is standing water in or close to the joints. It
is recommended to catalyze with water when applying sealant
on damp surfaces.
Clean up
Excess sealant adjacent to the joint interface can be carefully
removed with xylene or mineral spirits before the sealant cures.
Any utensils used for tooling can also be cleaned with xylene or
mineral spirits.
Limitations
• Do not apply over contaminated surfaces.
• Do not use in immersed conditions that contain chlorinated water.
• Use with adequate ventilation.
• Always utilize the accompanying MSDS for information on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and health hazards.
