Sika Loadflex-524 EZ is a technologically advanced, two-component, quick-setting, semi-rigid, solvent-free, self-levelling control joint filler. Recommended for use as filler for static interior, horizontal saw cuts or preformed control and construction joints.
Sika Loadflex-524 EZ is a two-component, quick-setting, semi-rigid, solvent-free, self-leveling polyurea control joint filler for static, interior, horizontal saw cuts or preformed control and construction joints. It is designed to provide even load transfer across floor joints and protect joint edges under hard-wheeled industrial traffic. The fast set allows shaving as early as 5 minutes and up to 24 hours after placement at 73 F (23 C), with performance at temperatures down to -13 F (-25 C). Mix ratio is A:B = 1:1 by volume using a static mixing nozzle.

What joints is Loadflex-524 EZ intended for?
It is recommended for static, interior, horizontal saw cuts or preformed control and construction joints.
Can it be used outdoors or on vertical joints?
No. It is intended for interior, horizontal use only.
What is the mix ratio for the cartridge?
Mix ratio is A:B = 1:1 by volume using a static mixing nozzle.
How soon can the joint be shaved flush?
The material can be shaved as early as 5 minutes or as late as 24 hours after placement at 73 F (23 C).
How fast can the floor return to traffic?
Cure time is light traffic in 15 minutes at 73 F (23 C) and full traffic in 30 minutes at 73 F (23 C). At -13 F (-25 C), light traffic is 60 minutes and full traffic is 2 hours.
Can I hand mix this product?
No. The product sets too quickly to allow hand mixing. It must be machine mixed and dispensed with a plural component pump and static mixing nozzle.
Can it be used in moving joints or cracks?
No. It is not to be used in moving cracks or joints designed for or exhibiting movement.
