Consumption
Coating system | Product | Consumption |
Primer | 1–2 × Sikafloor®-150 | 1–2 × 0.3–0.5 kg/m² |
Levelling mortar fine (surface roughness < 1 mm) | 1 pbw Sikafloor®-150 + 0.5 pbw quartz sand (0.1–0.3 mm) + 0.015 pbw Sika® Extender T | 1.4 kg/m²/mm |
Levelling mortar fine (surface roughness up to 2 mm) | 1 pbw Sikafloor®-150 + 1 pbw quartz sand (0.1–0.3 mm) + 0.015 pbw Sika® Extender T | 1.6 kg/m²/mm |
Bonding bridge | 1–2 × Sikafloor®-150 | 1–2 × 0.3–0.5 kg/m² |
Mortar screed (6–20 mm layer thickness ) / Repair mortar | 1 pbw Sikafloor®-150 + 10 pbw quartz sand | 2.2 kg/m²/mm |
For sceeds 6-15mm use Sikafloor Aggregate 506
Typically the following sand mixtures proved to be suitable (grain size distribution for layer thicknesses of 15–20 mm):
-
25 pbw quartz sand 0.1–0.5 mm
-
25 pbw quartz sand 0.4–0.7 mm
-
25 pbw quartz sand 0.7–1.2 mm
-
25 pbw quartz sand 2–4 mm
Note: The largest grain size should be a maximum 1/3 of the finished layer thickness. Dependent on the grain shape and application temperatures, the aggregates and the most suitable mix should be selected. Other System configurations are provided in the corresponding product data sheets. Practical trials should be carried out for mortar mixes to assess suitable aggregate grain size distribution.
Note: Consumption data is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.

SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Cementitious substrates (concrete / screed) must be structurally sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum tensile strength of 1.5 N/mm2.
Substrates must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
MECHANICAL SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT
Exposing blow holes and voids
When mechanically preparing the surface, make sure to fully expose blow holes and voids.
- Remove weak cementitious substrates.
- Prepare cementitious substrates mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or planing / scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance.
- Before applying thin layer resins, remove high spots by grinding.
- Use industrial vacuuming equipment to remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface before applying the Product.
- Use products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials to level the surface or fill cracks, blow holes and voids.
Contact Sika® Technical Services for additional information on products for levelling and repairing defects.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION OF NON-CEMENTITIOUS SUBSTRATES
For information on substrate preparation of non-cementitious substrates, contact Sika technical services.
TREATMENT OF JOINTS AND CRACKS
Construction joints and existing static surface cracks in substrate require pre-treating before full layer application. Use Sikadur® or Sikafloor® resins.
MIXING
Note: To increase the viscosity of the Product you can add Sika® Extender T.
PRIMER MIXING PROCEDURE
- Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- Mix continuously for 3 minutes, until a uniform mix is achieved.
Note: Avoid excessive mixing to minimise air entrainment. - To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
- During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.
LEVELLING MORTAR AND RESIN SCREED MIXING PROCEDURE
- Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- While mixing Parts A + B, gradually add the required filler or aggregates.
- IMPORTANT Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment. Mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
- To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
- During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.
APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Protect from moisture
After application, protect the Product from damp, condensation and direct water contact for at least 24 hours.
IMPORTANT
Temporary heating
If temporary heating is required, do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters. These produce large quantities of both carbon dioxide and water vapour, which may adversely affect the finish.
- For heating, use only electric powered warm air blower systems.
IMPORTANT
Pin holes
If the Product is applied on porous substrates during rising temperatures, pin holes may form from rising air.
- Apply the Product during falling temperatures.
IMPORTANT
Closing Pin holes
If pin holes are present after the Product has cured, they can be closed by doing the following.
- Lightly grind the cured surface.
- Apply a scratch coat consisting of the Product mixed with ~3 % of Sika® Extender T.
STANDARD PRIMER APPLICATION
