SUBSTRATE QUALITY
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.
- For static cracks, ensure the width is suitable for overcoating with Sikafloor®-2350 ESD.
- For dynamic cracks, ensure the movement is within the movement capacity of Sikafloor®-2350 ESD.
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.
MIXING
TEXTURED ROLLER COATING
- Mix Part A (resin) until the coloured pigment is dispersed and a uniform colour is achieved.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- Gradually add the required amount of Sika® Extender T (refer to Consumption).
- IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
- To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
- 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
- Mix Part A (resin) until the coloured pigment is dispersed and a uniform colour is achieved.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- While mixing Parts A + B, gradually add the required filler or aggregates.
- IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix is achieved.
- To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
- 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 MIXING PROCEDURE
- Mix Part A (resin) until the coloured pigment is dispersed and a uniform colour is achieved.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- IMPORTANT Do not mix excessively. Mix Part A + B continuously for ~3 minutes until a uniformly coloured mix is achieved.
- To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth and uniform mix.
- 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.
APPLICATION
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.
- For temporary heating, use only electrically powered warm air blower systems. Do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters.
IMPORTANT
Apply approved reference area before full system application
Apply a reference area before the application of a full system. The reference area must be assessed and accepted by all parties before full project application.
IMPORTANT
Temporary moisture barrier required if substrate moisture exceeds 4%
If the substrate moisture content measured with the CM-method is > 4% by weight, apply a temporary moisture barrier consisting of Sikafloor® EpoCem®.
- Contact Sika technical services for more information.
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.
