Service Temperature
IMPORTANT
Exposure to moist or wet heat
Sikafloor® broadcast systems with a minimum thickness of ~3–4 mm, that use this Product, can resist short-term moist or wet heat of up to +80 °C if the exposure is only temporary (less than 1 hour). While the Product is exposed to temperatures up to +80 °C, simultaneous mechanical or chemical strain may cause damage to the Product.
- Do not expose the Product to chemical or mechanical strain at elevated temperatures
Application
Mixing Ratio
The amount of Hardener required depends on the substrate temperature:
Substrate temperature | % by weight (Sikafloor® Pronto Hardener) |
-10 °C | 4.5 % |
0 °C | 3.0 % |
+10 °C | 2.0 % |
+20 °C | 1.5 % |
+30 °C | 1.0 % |
Splitting packaging units
Note: For ease of handling, units may be split into smaller amounts. Make sure to follow the mixing ratios as described in the Application Information. Always weigh out each part before mixing it.

Consumption
0.30–0.40 kg/m² (0.3-0.4L/m2)
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.
EQUIPMENT
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Short pile roller
Squeegee
MIXING EQUIPMENT
Electric double paddle mixer (>700 W, 300 to 400 rpm)
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Cementitious substrates (concrete / screed) 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.
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.
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
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.
APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Protect from moisture
After application, protect the Product from damp, condensation and direct water contact for at least 1 hour.
IMPORTANT
Ventilation in confined spaces
Always ensure good ventilation when applying the Product in a confined space.
IMPORTANT
No application on rising moisture
Do not apply on substrates with rising moisture.
IMPORTANT
Ventilation for curing
For optimal curing, exchange the air at least seven times per hour. During application and curing, use a forced fresh air supply/exhausting of fumes with appropriate equipment (explosion-proof).
IMPORTANT
Remove foodstuff from application area
Reactive acrylic resins exhibit a characteristic odour during application and before achieving full cure. Once fully cured, they are taint free. All unpackaged goods must be removed from the area of the works during application.
- Do not apply in the presence of foodstuffs.
- Isolate any and all foodstuffs, whether packaged or not, from the flooring works during the application process and until the products are fully cured.
STANDARD PRIMER APPLICATION
- Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate.
Note: The consumption is specified in Application Information. - Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a short pile roller or a squeegee.
- Back roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a short pile roller.
Note: Maintain a "wet edge" during application for a seamless finish.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
