Water-based polyurethane cement hybrid

Always refer to the best before date of the individual packaging.

The Product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Always refer to packaging.

Refer to the current Safety Data Sheet for information on safe handling and storage.

Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the surface of the applied product. Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.

The Product can be installed on dry or damp substrates with a moisture content greater than 4 % (CM Method). The substrate must have no ponding water and a minimum adhesion pull-off strength of 1.5 N/mm² (EN 1542). The substrate must have no rising moisture (ASTM D4263, polyethylene sheet).

Before overcoating the Product allow:

Note: If a primer other than a scratch coat of Sikafloor® PurCem® is applied, refer to the relevant PDS of the chosen product for curing times. Ensure that the primer or scratch coat is fully cured before the application of subsequent Sikafloor® PurCem® layers.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.

~2.1 kg/m² per mm thickness

MIXING EQUIPMENT

• Electric single paddle mixer (300 to 400 rpm)

• Electric double paddle mixer (>700 W, 300 to 400 rpm)

• Forced action / rotating pan / double paddle or trough type mixer (300–400 rpm )

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

• Flat, round edge steel trowel

• Short pile roller

IMPORTANT

Incorrect treatment of cracks

The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service life and reflective cracking.

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.

The System can be applied on green or damp concrete with no standing water. Allow for at least 3 days for early concrete shrinkage to occur to prevent shrinkage cracks from appearing on the wearing surface.

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 all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.

To prevent curling of the applied product during curing, place retaining grooves in the substrate along all exposed edges (perimeter, joints, connections, plinths, columns, covings and drains or gullies) as shown in the application details of the Sika Method Statement — Sikafloor® and Sikagard® evaluation and preparation of surfaces. Width and depth must be twice the thickness of the floor finish.

3 PART MIXING PROCEDURE

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
2. Add Part D (colour pack) to Part A.
3. Mix Part A + B continuously for 30 seconds until a uniformly coloured mix is achieved.
4. Pour the mixed resin Parts into the pan mixer.
5. Start the pan mixer and gradually add Part C (aggregate) to the mixed resin Parts over a period of 15 seconds.
6. After combining all parts, mix for an additional 2 minutes, until a uniform mix is achieved. Note At ambient temperatures less than +15 °C mix between 30 seconds and 1 minute longer.
7. 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.

4 PART MIXING PROCEDURE

1. Mix Part A (resin) for ~30 seconds.
2. Add Part D (colour pack) to Part A.
3. Mix Part A + D continuously for 30 seconds until a uniformly coloured mix is achieved.
4. After mixing for 30 seconds, gradually add Part B and continue mixing for 30 seconds.
5. Pour the mixed resin Parts into the pan mixer.
6. Start the pan mixer and gradually add Part C (aggregate) to the mixed resin Parts over a period of 15 seconds.
7. After combining all parts, mix for an additional 2 minutes, until a uniform mix is achieved. Note At ambient temperatures less than +15 °C mix between 30 seconds and 1 minute longer.
8. 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.

IMPORTANT

Protecting the material after application

After application, protect the System from damp, condensation and direct water contact for at least 24 hours.

IMPORTANT

Protect from overhead leaks and condensation

Protect the Product during application from pipe condensation or any overhead leaks.

IMPORTANT

Ventilation in confined spaces

Always ensure good ventilation when applying the Product in a confined space.

IMPORTANT

Application on polymer modified cement mortars

Do not apply the product on polymer modified cement mortars if the mortar expands when sealed with an impervious resin.

IMPORTANT

Waiting time for foodstuff

Allow a minimum of 48 hours after application before placing foodstuff in the same area.

RESIN SCREED

1. Pour the mixed Product onto the prepared substrate.
2. Spread and compact the Product with a trowel to the required thickness between screed rails / battens, if installed.
3. Level the screed surface with a levelling beam spanning onto the screed rails or battens.
4. Finish the surface to the required surface texture with trowels or walk-behind power float.

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

To prevent the nozzle from blocking, regularly clean the spraying equipment during application.
