Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

It is recommended that a trial surface of approx. 1 m²
be prepared in addition to the site, to help assess the
optimum time at which to start washing down.

APPLICATION

  • Homogenize the product before use. When smoothing is complete, spray SikaCem® Désactivant 4-6 evenly in one spraying, all over the concrete surface to be treated, using a sprayer.
  • For better results, pre-wet the surface and wait for few minutes.
  • Wash the surface down with a high pressure water jet (100–150 bars max). Depending on weather conditions (temperature, sun, wind), the deactivation phase will start between 5 and 24 hours.
  • In the event of rain during this deactivation within 3 hours after spraying, immediate deactivation is recommended.
  • If any aggregates come loose during washing down, reduce the washing pressure or wait a bit longer.
  • After washing, pursue curing of concrete surface with SikaCem® Cure.
