Solvent free epoxy

24 months from date of production

The Product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Always refer to packaging.

Refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for information on safe handling and storage.

~100 %

IMPORTANT

Simultaneous mechanical and chemical strain

While the Product is exposed to temperatures up to +60 °C, simultaneous mechanical or chemical strain may cause damage to the Product.

1. Do not expose the Product to chemical or mechanical strain at elevated temperatures

Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the surface of the applied product. Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.

IMPORTANT

Temporary moisture barrier

If the substrate moisture content measured with the Sika®-Tramex meter >6% or CM-method is > 4% by weight, apply a temporary moisture barrier consisting of Sikafloor® EpoCem®.

1. Contact Sika technical services for more information.

No rising moisture (ASTM D4263, polyethylene sheet)

Osmosis caused by rising moisture or incorrect primer application is not
covered by the product warranty.

Before applying non-solvent based products on the product allow:

Before applying solvent based products on the product allow:

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.

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.

MIXING EQUIPMENT

• Electric double paddle mixer (>700 W, 300 to 400 rpm)

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

• Squeegee

• Fleece roller

• Trowel - for levelling mortar or screed

Cementitious substrates must be structurally sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 MPa) with a minimum tensile strength of 1.5 MPa.

Substrates must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.

MECHANICAL SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

Exposing blow holes and voids

When mechanically preparing the surface, make sure to fully expose blow holes and voids.

1. Remove weak cementitious substrates.
2. Prepare cementitious substrates mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or planing / scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance.
3. Before applying thin layer resins, remove high spots by grinding.
4. Use industrial vacuuming equipment to remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface before applying the Product.
5. 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.

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.

Note: To increase the viscosity of the Product you can add Sika® Extender T.

PRIMER MIXING PROCEDURE

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
2. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
3. IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix Part A + B continuously for ~3 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
4. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
5. 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

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
2. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
3. While mixing Parts A + B, gradually add the required filler or aggregates.
4. IMPORTANT Do not mix excessivley. Mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
5. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
6. 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.

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.

1. 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.

1. Apply the Product during falling temperatures.

IMPORTANT

Closing Pin holes

If pin holes are present after the Product has cured blistering may occur in the subsequent layer. Close any pin holes using the following steps.

1. Lightly grind the cured surface.
2. Apply a scratch coat consisting of the Product mixed with ~3 % of Sika® Extender T.

STANDARD PRIMER APPLICATION

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. Note The consumption is specified in Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a short pile roller or a squeegee.
3. Back roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a fleece roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.
4. If broadcasting is required, wait between 15 and 30 minutes, then broadcast the surface with quartz sand. Broadcast lightly at first, then to excess.
5. IMPORTANT Confirm waiting or overcoating time is achieved before applying subsequent products. (Refer to the "waiting time to overcoating" section of Application Information) Once the product has hardened sufficiently, remove all loose sand with industrial vacuuming equipment.

LEVELLING MORTAR / SCRATCH COAT

Equipment:

• Squeegee

• Trowel

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. Note The consumption is specified in Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a trowel or a squeegee.

BONDING BRIDGE

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. Note The consumption is specified in Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a brush, fleece roller or a squeegee.
3. Back roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a fleece roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.
4. (Optional) If required, apply a second priming coat.

RESIN SCREED

IMPORTANT

Not suitable for contact with water

The Product is not suitable for contact with water unless sealed with a top coat sealing coat.

1. Pour the mixed Product "wet on wet" onto the still tacky primer. Note The consumption is specified in Application Information.
2. Spread and compact the Product with a trowel to the required thickness between screed rails / battens, if installed.
3. Level the screed surface with a levelling beam spanning onto the screed rails / battens.
4. Finish the surface to the required surface texture with trowels or walk-behind power floats.

RESIN PATCH REPAIR MORTAR

1. Pour the mixed Product "wet on wet" onto the still tacky primer.
2. Apply the Product with a trowel to the required thickness.
3. Compact the applied product with a trowel.
4. IMPORTANT Confirm waiting or overcoating time is achieved before applying subsequent products. (Refer to the "waiting time to overcoating" section of Application Information). Smoothen the surface with a trowel.

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
