Application
Mixing Ratio
Part A : part B = 79 : 21 (by weight)
Layer Thickness
2.80 kg/m² - film thickness ~ 1.6 mm
Refer to the respective System Data Sheet.
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % r.h. max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Substrate Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
< 4 % pbw moisture content.
Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM - measurement or Oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Pot Life
Temperature | Time |
+10 °C | ~ 21 minutes |
+20 °C | ~ 15 minutes |
+30 °C | ~ 12 minutes |
Curing Time
Before overcoating Sikafloor®-328 allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10 °C | 24 hours | 72 hours |
+20 °C | 18 hours | 48 hours |
+30 °C | 16 hours | 36 hours |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
If maximum waiting time is exceeded, the surface of Sikafloor®-328 has to be grinded to achieve mechanical bonding between the layers of Sikafloor® system.

MIXING
Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.
Mixing Tools
Sikafloor®-328 must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
Sikafloor®-328 is poured and spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel or pin rake. When used in a self-smoothing system, roll in two directions with a spike roller to ensure even thickness and to remove entrapped air.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
