Storage Conditions
stored properly in original, unopened and undamaged sealed containers, in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Protect from frost.
Density
~1.0 kg/I (at +20 °C)
Solid content by weight
~16 %
Application
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % 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.
Curing Time
Substrate temperature | Foot traffic | Full cure |
+10 °C | ~16 hours | ~24 hours |
+20 °C | ~8 hours | ~20 hours |
+30 °C | ~6 hours | ~16 hours |
Full cure times are approximate and will be affected by changing substrate and ambient conditions
Waiting Time / Overcoating
Allow previous coats to become tack free before applying additional coats.
Substrate temperature | Time |
+10 °C | ~90 minutes |
+20 °C | ~45 minutes |
+30 °C | ~40 minutes |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing substrate and ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
0.1–0.2 l/m2/coat
Requirements of relevant local standards and guidelines apply.
This figure is theoretical and does not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage, etc.
MIXING
Sikafloor® ProSeal W is supplied ready for use. Stir thoroughly with an electric stirrer with low speed (~300 rpm) for 2 minutes before use.
APPLICATION
For fresh concrete, apply immediately after finishing techniques have been completed.
For dry shaked topped concrete, apply immediatelty after completion of the power floating operation
Apply in a continuous even film by low-pressure spray unit. The suitability of spraying equipment must be confirmed by trials.
Application also possible by brush or roller.
To achieve the highest visual aesthetics and performance, a second coat is recommended.
Wait for first coat to dry tack free before applying a second coat. (see waiting time / overcoating)
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor® ProSeal W must have all spillages removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned using rotary brushes, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryers, high pressure washers, wash and vacuum techniques, etc., using suitable detergents and waxes.
