Application
Mixing Ratio
The amount of hardener required to be added on 12.5 kg Sikafloor®-13 Pronto is dependent on the ambient and substrate temperature.
Temperature | Sika®- Pronto Hardener ( % pbw) |
-10 °C | 875 g |
0 °C | 625 g |
+10 °C | 500 g (4.0 %) |
+20 °C | 375 g (3.0 %) |
+30 °C | 250 g (2.0 %) |
The hardener powder can also be ordered under the product name „Perkadox CH 50 X“ by Akzo Nobel, www.akzonobel.com, “Interox BP-50 FT” by Degussa, www.degussa.com or “BP 50 W+” by Pergan GmbH, www.pergan.com.
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 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.
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
Temperature | Time |
-10 °C | ~ 22 minutes |
0 °C | ~ 15 minutes |
+10 °C | ~ 13 minutes |
+20 °C | ~ 12 minutes |
+30 °C | ~ 10 minutes |
Curing Time
Before applying Sikafloor®-13 / -14 / -15 / -32 Pronto on Sikafloor®-13 Pronto allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
-10 °C | 70 minutes | * |
+0 °C | 50 minutes | * |
+10 °C | 45 minutes | * |
+20 °C | 40 minutes | * |
+30 °C | 35 minutes | * |
*No time limit, the Sikafloor®-Pronto materials can be applied on each other after thorough cleaning.
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
Coating System | Product | Consumption |
Primer | 1–2 × Sikafloor®-13 Pronto | 1–2 × 0.40–0.50 kg/m² per coat |
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
Mix part A thoroughly, then add the hardener in the correct quantity and mix for a further 1 minute.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment. For ease of handling, 25 kg units may be split (2 × 12.5 kg) (refer to mixing table). Always weigh out components.
Mixing Tools
For indoor work, spark free mixing equipment must be used (explosion-proof)!
Sikafloor®-13 Pronto must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity and dew point.
For external applications, apply on a falling temperature. If applied during rising temperatures “pin holing” may occur from rising air.
Priming:
Normal non-porous surfaces:
Apply 1-2 x Sikafloor®-13 Pronto. Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate, i.e. minimum 0.4 kg/mm². If in doubt, apply another priming coat.
Absorbent surfaces:
Apply two coats wet on wet of Sikafloor®-13 Pronto until saturation of the substrate is achieved. For waiting time before overcoating see table “Curing Time”.
Apply Sikafloor®-13 Pronto using a “non-fuzzing”, short-pile nylon roller.
The freshly applied priming coat can be blinded lightly with quartz sand 0.7 - 1.2 mm, consumption approx. 0.2 - 0.5 kg/m². If the subsequent layer is Sikafloor®-15 Pronto applied as a scratch coat, light blinding is mandatory.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
