Usage
SikaFuko® VT-1 is used to seal construction joints in watertight structures against water and salt water ingress. It is cast into the construction joints with the concrete.To seal the joint SikaFuko® VT-1 can be injected with suitable Sika injection materials including acrylic and polyurethane resins, or microfine cement suspensions.
When it isnecessary to reseal the joint again by re-injection, provided Sika acrylic resin or microfine cement is used for the initial injection.
