Consumption
~1,8 kg/m2/mm
This figure 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 product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.
MIXING
Important: Do not add any additional water or other constituents.
- Shake carefully Part. A before mixing.
- Pour ~½ of Part. A into a suitable mixing container.
- Add Part. B slowly while mixing with a low speed (~ 500 rpm) electric single paddle mixer or other suitable equipment until a consistent mix has been achieved.
- Add the remaining amount of Part. A.
- Mix thoroughly for at least 3 minutes to achieve a smooth consistent mix.
APPLICATION
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in method statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
Important: Avoid standing water or condensation coming into contact with product during application.
Note:Thoroughly saturate the prepared substrate before application with clean water to achieve a saturated surface dry (SSD) surface. Before application remove excess water, e.g. with a clean sponge.
Note: In naturally damp environments, It is not neccessary to dampen substrate before application.
General
Sikalastic®-152 must be applied to the full surface area at the required layer thickness.
Hand Application
Apply mixed material with firm even pressure onto the prepared pre-wet substrate using a notched (3 x 3 mm) trowel. As soon as the first layer has hardened, apply the second coat by flat edged trowel.
Sprayed Application - Wet Spray
The wet mixed Sikalastic®-152 must be placed into the spraying equipment and applied onto the prepared pre-wet substrate. As soon as the first layer has hardened, spray apply the second coat.
Glass fibre fabric embedment
In highly stressed areas a special alkali-resistant glass fibre fabric (150–160 g/m²) must be placed into the first fresh mortar layer. Trim the fabric and fully embed into the mortar layer avoiding void formation.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.
