Chemical Resistance Guide

Chemical Resistance

This chemical resistance guide contains test results obtained by

immersion, at 20oC over a period of 30 days. Laboratory tests are
performed under carefully controlled conditions and actual field results
may vary. No warranty can be expressed nor implied regarding the
accuracy of this information, as it would apply to in-service operational
use. Sika Canada Inc. always recommends a test sample of the selected
product be installed under actual job conditions and monitored for
acceptable performance before overall application begins.

In case of further questions or where the chemical is not shown

in the table, please contact your local Sika Representative.
