Overview

          Description

    The Sika Sikaflex 821 FR fire sealant is a single-component, flexible polyurethane fire retardant sealant for professionals.

    It is used for interior joints in the railway industry requiring a HL1 or HL2 fire classification according to the European railway standard EN 45545-2.

    The Sikaflex 821 FR fire retardant sealant polymerizes under the action of atmospheric moisture. Note: At low temperatures, the amount of water in the air decreases and the curing reaction slows down.

    Technological Advantages:

    • Good mechanical properties

    • Very good application properties

    • Aging resistant

    • Non-corrosive

    • Adheres well to a wide variety of substrates

    • Excellent hydrolysis stability

    • Low isocyanate content

     

    Chemical resistance properties:

    • Resistant to water, seawater, diluted weak acids and bases.

    • Resistant to temporary action of fuels, mineral oils, vegetable and animal fats.

    • Caution: NOT resistant to organic acids, alcohols, concentrated acid and alkaline solutions, and solvents.

          Applications

    Sikaflex 821 FR fire sealant is developed for interior sealing applications in the railway industry where a fire classification according to EN45545-2 standard is required.

    It can be used on a wide variety of substrates and is suitable for making permanent flexible joints.

    Compatible materials:

    Suitable substrates include metals, metal primers (primers), and paint coatings (two-component systems), ceramics, and plastics.

    Preliminary tests on supports under production conditions should always be carried out before final assembly to ensure adhesion and compatibility of materials, especially for surfaces prone to "crazing" (cracking, fissures).
