Solvent-free epoxy

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 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 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.

Refer to the individual primer Product Data Sheet

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

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 to 400 rpm)

• Forced action mixer

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

• Roller coating

• Trowels, including serrated

• Pin leveller

• Screed box

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.

SUBSTRATE MOISTURE CONTENT

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.

2-PART MIXING PROCEDURE

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
2. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
3. IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix Part A + B continuously for ~3 minutes until a uniform 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.

2-PART + AGGREGATE MIXING PROCEDURE

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~10 seconds with an electric double paddle mixer (300–400 rpm, > 700 W).
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

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

Indentations in resin due to high temperature combined with high point loading

Under certain conditions, underfloor heating or high ambient temperatures combined with high point loading may lead to indentations in the resin.

Binder

1. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a trowel.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a trowel, pin leveler or screed box.

SEAL COAT

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the surface.

   Note: The consumption is specified in Application Information.
2. Apply the Product evenly over the surface with a squeegee.

3. Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a short pile roller.

   Note: Maintain a "wet edge" during application for a seamless finish.

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