24 months from date of production

The Product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Always refer to the packaging.

Refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for information on safe handling and storage.

IMPORTANT

Simultaneous mechanical and chemical strain

While the Product is exposed to temperatures up to +60 °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.

Please refer to the Product Data Sheet of the individual epoxy primer.

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

Before applying non-solvented products on Sikafloor®-390 N allow:

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

Note: Times apply when the last layer of the system has been applied. Times are 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

• Short pile roller

• Squeegee

IMPORTANT

Reduced service life due to incorrect treatment of cracks

The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service life and reflective cracking.

1. For static cracks, ensure the width is suitable for overcoating with Sikafloor®-390 N.
2. For dynamic cracks, ensure the movement is within the movement capacity of Sikafloor®-390 N.

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.

SUBSTRATE CONDITION

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.

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. Before applying thin layer resins, remove high spots by grinding.
4. Before applying the Product, remove all dust, loose and friable material from the application surface with an 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 leveling 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.

COATING MIXING PROCEDURE

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 ~3 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.

WEARING LAYER MIXING PROCEDURE

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. While mixing Parts A + B, gradually add the required filler or aggregates.
4. IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
5. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
6. 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 24 hours.

IMPORTANT

Temporary moisture barrier

If the substrate moisture content measured with the CM-method is > 4% by weight, apply a temporary moisture barrier consisting of Sikafloor® EpoCem®.

1. Contact Sika technical services for more information.

IMPORTANT

No application on rising moisture

Do not apply on substrates with rising moisture.

IMPORTANT

Ensuring consistent colour matching

For consistent colour matching, make sure the Product in each area is applied from the same control batch numbers.

SEAL COAT FOR BROADCAST SURFACES

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. Note The consumption is specified in 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 fleece roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.

SLIP-RESISTANT BROADCAST LAYER

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the prepared substrate.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a trowel.
3. Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a spike roller.
4. Allow the product to cure for 15 minutes. Note Times are temperature dependant. Times given are for +20 °C.
5. Broadcast the surface with quartz sand or silicon carbide, lightly at first, then to excess.Note The aggregate is dependant on the system build-up. Refer to the relevant System Data Sheet.
6. Allow the surface to become tack-free.
7. Remove all loose sand with industrial vacuuming equipment.

SELF-SMOOTHING WEARING LAYER APPLICATION

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the substrate. Note The consumption is specified in 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.

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