Laboratory-defined resistance to many individual chemicals. Before proceeding, contact Sika Technical Service for specific information.

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.

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

The amount of Part B required depends on the substrate temperature:

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.

Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation on the surface of the applied product.

Refer to the individual Product Data Sheet.

Before overcoating the Product, allow:

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

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 the 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 rpm to 400 rpm)

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

• Trowels, including serrated

• Spiked roller

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 contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.

SELF-SMOOTHING WEARING LAYER AND SCRATCH COAT MIXING PROCEDURE

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
2. Add the required filler.
3. If required, add Part C (pigment) to the mixture while continuously mixing.
4. IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
5. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
6. Mix for an additional minute.
7. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
8. 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 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 or exhaust 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.

1. Do not apply in the presence of foodstuffs.
2. Isolate any and all foodstuffs, whether packaged or not, from the flooring works during the application process and until the products are fully cured.

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 explosion-proof electric powered warm air blower systems.

IMPORTANT

Pin holes caused by application during rising temperature

If the Product is applied on porous substrates during rising temperature, pin holes may form from rising air.

1. Apply the Product during falling temperatures.

SELF-SMOOTHING BROADCAST WEARING LAYER APPLICATION

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. For the consumption, refer to Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a serrated trowel.
3. Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a spike roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.
4. Broadcast the surface with aggregate, lightly at first, then to excess.Note The aggregate is dependant on the system build-up. Refer to the relevant System Data Sheet.

REINFORCED SELF-SMOOTHING WEARING LAYER APPLICATION

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. For the consumption, refer to Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a serrated trowel.
3. Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a spike roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.
4. Roll out the reinforcement (Sika® Reemat Premium) onto the wet resin.IMPORTANT Allow a minimum 50 mm overlap on all joints of the reinforcement fleece.
5. Press the reinforcement firmly into the wet resin with a short pile roller.
6. To ensure full saturation of the reinforcement, apply wet on wet an encapsulation layer of the Product with a short pile roller.

SCRATCH COAT

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. For the consumption, refer to Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a trowel or a squeegee.

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