What movement capability does Sikasil WS-290 hold?
+100% extension / -50% compression under ASTM C-719 at 77 F and 50% R.H., matching ASTM C-920 Class 100/50.
What tack-free and tooling times should crews plan for with Sikasil WS-290?
Tack-free time is approximately 50 minutes at 77 F and 50% R.H. Tooling time is approximately 30 minutes; higher temperature or humidity shortens both. Full adhesion develops in 7 to 14 days.
What joints suit Sikasil WS-290 on the wall?
Expansion and control joints in precast panels and metal curtain walls, nonstructural glazing beads, glass-to-glass butt weatherseals, and EIFS weatherseals that need high movement.
What staining result does Sikasil WS-290 show under ASTM C1248?
No staining on porous substrates under ASTM C1248. ASTM C-510 also reports no stain or color change.
What service temperature range applies after Sikasil WS-290 cures?
Service temperature runs from -80 F to +350 F once cured.
What size is the Sikasil WS-290 sausage on this page?
The Black sausage is 20 oz (600 ml), part 412141. The PDS also covers 10 oz cartridges and 2 gal pails.
