Sikaflex® PRO-3 is a 1-part, polyurethane, tough, coloured, elastic joint sealant for sealing many joint configurations in floors and civil engineering structures. It provides a waterproof seal with good mechanical properties, is resistant to chemicals and remains elastic over a wide range of temperatures.
Usage
Horizontal and vertical interior and exterior sealing joint applications:
- Food industry
- Cleanrooms
- Sewage treatment plants
- Tunnels
Sealing horizontal and vertical joints for:
- Floors
- Pedestrian and traffic areas
- Car park parking decks
- Warehouse and production floor areas
Advantages
- Movement capability ±35 %
- Good mechanical and chemical resistance
- Bubble-free curing
- Over-paintable
- Good adhesion to defined construction materials
- Very low emissions

Joint Design
The joint width must be designed to suit the movement capability of the sealant. The joint width must be ≥ 10 mm and ≤ 40 mm. A width to depth ratio of 1:0,8 must be maintained (for exceptions, see table below).
Typical joint widths for joints between concrete elements for interior applications
Joint distance [m] | Minimum joint width [mm] | Minimum joint depth [mm] |
2 | 10 | 10 |
4 | 10 | 10 |
6 | 10 | 10 |
8 | 15 | 12 |
10 | 18 | 15 |
Typical joint widths for joints between concrete elements for exterior applications
Joint distance [m] | Minimum joint width [mm] | Minimum joint depth [mm] |
2 | 10 | 10 |
4 | 15 | 12 |
6 | 20 | 17 |
8 | 28 | 22 |
10 | 35 | 28 |
All joints must be correctly designed and dimensioned by the relevant standards and codes of practice before their construction. The basis for calculating the necessary joint widths are the type of structure, dimensions, technical values of the adjacent building materials, joint sealing material and the specific exposure of the building and the joints.
