GENERAL

Substrate must be sound, clean and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, polish, coatings, water-soluble and water-resistant adhesives, varnish, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable materials.

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

CONCRETE AND CEMENTITIOUS SCREEDS

1. Prepare substrates mechanically using suitable abrasive blast cleaning, planing, scarifying, grinding or other suitable equipment.
2. Remove surface treatments, layers of water-soluble adhesives such as sulphite waste adhesives and old water-resistant adhesives.
3. Fill any voids or cavities with appropriate Sika®-compatible flooring repair products.
4. Remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface with an industrial vacuuming equipment.

CALCIUM SULPHATE (ANHYDRITE) SCREEDS

1. Remove surface treatments, layers of water-soluble adhesives such as sulphite waste adhesives and old water-resistant adhesives.
2. Grind and vacuum-clean the substrate.
3. Fill any voids or cavities with appropriate Sika®-compatible flooring repair products.
4. Remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface with an industrial vacuuming equipment.

WOOD

1. Remove surface treatments, layers of water-soluble adhesives such as sulphite waste adhesives and old water-resistant adhesives.
2. IMPORTANT Ensure that wood floor substrates of chipboard or OSB are securely fixed to the substructure. Abrade OSB.
3. Fill any voids or cavities with appropriate Sika®-compatible flooring repair products.
4. Remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface with an industrial vacuuming equipment.

CERAMIC TILES

1. Remove surface treatments, layers of water-soluble adhesives such as sulphite waste adhesives and old water-resistant adhesives.
2. All tiles must be stable, firmly and securely bonded.
3. Replace or fix any broken, loose or missing tiles.
4. Grind or abrade surfaces to remove glaze

OTHER SUBSTRATE TYPES

For information on substrate preparation, contact Sika Technical Services.

Shake or stir the Product before use.

If water dilution is required, proceed as follows:

1. Mix the Product.
2. Pour the Product into a clean container.
3. Mix in the appropriate amount of water.

IMPORTANT

Impaired Product properties due to substrates with rising moisture

1. Do not apply the Product on substrates with rising moisture.
2. If rising moisture can occur, apply an effective damp-proof membrane that complies with the applicable national standard.

1. Apply the Product to the prepared substrate by roller, paintbrush or brush. Note Application by spraying equipment is possible if the mixing ratio is at least 1 : 1.
2. Ensure the substrate is saturated and evenly coated. Note Avoid puddles of primer.
3. (Optional) For very absorbent substrates, apply a second coat.
4. Confirm the waiting time to overcoating time has been achieved before applying subsequent products. Refer to the individual primer Product Data Sheet.

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