Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The substrate must be clean, sound, firm, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Paint, cement laitance and other poorly adhering contaminants must be removed.

Pre-dampen the substrate with clean water, this ensures that Sika Boom®-420 Fire cures properly and also prevents secondary foam expansion.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika Boom® Cleaner or Sika® Remover-208 immediately after use. Clean the application gun by screwing Sika Boom® Cleaner onto the thread of the application gun and press the trigger to clean it. Do not leave the Sika Boom® Cleaner screwed on the application gun, as the valve could be damaged. Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.
