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

IMPORTANT

Exposure to moist or wet heat

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

Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above the 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.

No rising moisture (ASTM D4263, polyethylene sheet)

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

~0.2–0.3 kg/m² applied as a roller coating

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.

Select the most appropriate equipment required for the project:

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION EQUIPMENT

• Abrasive blasting cleaning system

• Planing machine

• Scarifying machine

MIXING EQUIPMENT

• Electric double paddle mixer ~700 W (300 - 400 rpm)

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

• Short pile (12 mm) nylon rollers

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

Use industrial vacuuming equipment to remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface before applying the Product.

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.

MECHANICAL SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

Surface defects due to voids in the substrate

Voids and blow holes in the substrate will weaken the surface and damage the covering Product if not repaired during the preparation process.

1. Fully expose blow holes and voids during surface preparation to identify the required repairs.

1. Remove weak cementitious substrates.
2. Prepare cementitious substrates mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning, abrasive planing or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance.
3. Where thin layer resins are going to be applied, remove high spots by grinding.
4. Remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface with industrial vacuuming equipment.
5. Level the surface or fill cracks, blow holes and voids with products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials.

For additional information on products for levelling and repairing defects, contact Sika® Technical Services.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION OF NON-CEMENTITIOUS SUBSTRATES

For information on substrate preparation of non-cementitious substrates, contact Sika® Technical Services.

1. Mix Part A (resin) until the coloured pigment is dispersed and a uniform colour is achieved.
2. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
3. IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix Part A + B continuously for ~2 minutes until a uniformly coloured 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.

IMPORTANT

Damaged finish due to heating with fossil fuel heaters

Fossil fuel heaters powered by gas, oil or paraffin produce large quantities of both carbon dioxide and water vapour, which may adversely affect the finish.

1. For temporary heating, use only electrically powered warm air blower systems. Do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters.

IMPORTANT

Ventilation in confined spaces

Always ensure good ventilation when applying the Product in a confined space.

IMPORTANT

Surface gloss variation

Uneven application thicknesses, substrate absorbency, variations in temperature and humidity can cause gloss differences in the surface finish.

PRIMER

1. Pour mixed primer onto the prepared substrate and apply by brush, roller or squeegee.
2. Back roller in two directions at right angles to each other. Note Ensure a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats.
3. Confirm waiting or overcoating time has been achieved before applying subsequent products. Refer to individual primer Product Data Sheet.

COATING

1. Apply the Product onto the prepared substrate using a short-piled roller in two directions at right angles to each other. Note Maintain a ‘wet’ edge during application for a seamless finish.
2. Light colours such as yellow or orange may require several coats to achieve full opacity (hiding power).

SEAL COAT FOR BROADCAST SURFACES

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. Note For consumption, refer to Application Information.
2. Spread the Product evenly over the surface with a squeegee.
3. Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a medium-pile roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application for a seamless finish.

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
