Packaging
Part A | 22 kg containers |
| Part B | 4 kg containers |
| Part A + B | 26 kg ready to mix units |
Colour
Resin - part A | coloured, liquid |
Hardener - part B | transparent, liquid |
Almost unlimited choice of colour shades.
Due to the nature of carbon fibres providing the conductivity, it is not possible to achieve exact colour matching. With very bright colours (such as yellow and orange), this effect is increased. Under direct sun light there may be some discolouration and colour variation, this has no influence on the function and performance of the coating.

MIXING
Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air entrainment. Sikafloor®-262 AS N Thixo must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Sikafloor®-262 AS N Thixo (unfilled) is applied with a serrated trowel for textured wearing layer e.g. Trowel No. 999 or Adhesive Spreader No.777, Toothed blades No. 23 = A3’ (www.polyplan.com) and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a textured roller.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
