Application
Mixing Ratio
Part A : part B : part C= 7.5 : 2.5 : 100 (by weight)
Ambient Air Temperature
+10°C min. / +30°C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % r.h. max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured mortar must be at least 3ºC above the dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the mortar finish.
Substrate Temperature
+10°C min. / +30°C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
< 4 % pbw moisture content.
Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM - measurement or Oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Pot Life
| Temperatures | Time |
| +10 °C | ~ 60 minutes |
| +20 °C | ~ 40 minutes |
| +30 °C | ~ 25 minutes |
Curing Time
Before applying Sikafloor coating on Sikafloor®-91 allow:
| Substrate Temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| +10 °C | 24 hours | 4 days |
| +20 °C | 14 hours | 2 days |
| +30 °C | 8 hours | 1 day |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
~2.2kg/m2/mm
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
MIXING
Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
When parts A and B have been mixed, the quartz sand or if required the Extender T must be mixed with part A and B for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix has again 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 minimise air entrapment.
Mixing Tools
Sikafloor®-91 (part A + B) must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
For Sikafloor®-91 (part A + B + C) mortars use a forced action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or tough type.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
If substrate moisture content is more than 4 % pbw, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a temporary
moisture barrier (T.M.B.) system.
For strongly absorbent substrates apply a primer coat.
The primer has to be cured tack free before the bonding bridge is applied.
Primer:
Make sure that a continuous, pore free film covers the substrate.
Apply Sikafloor®-156/-161 by brush, roller or squeegee.
Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then backrolling crosswise.
Bonding bridge / impregnation:
Make sure that a continuous, pore free film covers the substrate.
Apply Sikafloor®-156/-161 by brush, roller or squeegee.
Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then backrolling crosswise.
Mortar screed:
Apply the mortar screed evenly on the tacky bonding bridge, using levelling boards and guide rails as necessary.
After a short waiting time compact and finish the mortar with a trowel or Teflon coated power float
(usually 20 - 90 rpm). Power floats can only be used on mortar layers > 8 mm.
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.
