1. Structure and dimensions of SABA Crackfill
SABA Crackfill is used to repair static (not (no longer) moving) cracks in concrete floors and as a top seal for
SABA Double Joint C. See info sheet 354 Application of SABA Double Joint system. This info sheet uses the first
application, the repair of static cracks, as an example. SABA Crackfill is used in the following way to repair cracks:
SABA Crackfill
The cracks must first be cut into a triangular shape (app. 10 x 10 mm). Follow the line of the crack as accurately as
possible.
2. General instructions for applying SABA Crackfill
To apply SABA Crackfill, the following must be done:
2.1 Check the conditions
Measure one after the other:
a) The ambient temperature, this must be between +5 ºC and +35 ºC
b) The relative air humidity
c) The temperature of the surfaces to which the sealant must bond. The dew-point is derived using the values
measured in steps b) and c) and information from the dew-point table in info sheet 003. The temperature of
the bonding surfaces must be at least 3 °C above the dew-point.
d) The moisture percentage of the bonding surfaces must not be higher than 15 on the Protimeter
Info sheet 003 'Humidity measurements and dew-point determination' describes in detail how the conditions can be
checked.
2.2 Clean the bonding surfaces
Thoroughly remove all dust or grit from the (cut) joints. If necessary, thoroughly degrease the bonding surfaces, for
instance using Sabaclean 22.

2.3 Prime the concrete surfaces
Pour the B Component of SABA Primer H 17 into the packaging of the A Component and mix it until the liquid is
homogenous. The primer is now ready to use.
Carefully apply SABA Primer H 17 to the bonding surfaces using a brush. Ensure that all bonding surfaces are covered
and that there are no breaks in the primer layer. Work carefully, spills give stains.
Note:
Take account of the open time of the primer used! The open time is the time within which the sealant must be
applied. After being applied, SABA Primer H 17 must dry for at least 30 minutes, before SABA Crackfill can be applied.
But do not wait longer than 6 hours, as the primer will then no longer work (in which case new primer must be
applied).
Apply SABA Primer H 17 to the bonding surfaces
