Application
Product Temperature
+10 °C min / +30 °C max
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 Moisture Content
When performing application work with Sikafloor® AGG TOP, the substrate moisture content should below 4 % pbw measured by Tramex.
Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM - measurement or Oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture accroding to ASTM (Polythylene-sheet).
Waiting Time / Overcoating

Minimum | Maximum | |
10 °C | 24 hrs | 4 days |
20 °C | 12 hrs | 2 days |
30 °C | 8 hrs | 24 hrs |

Consumption
Primer | 1 pbw Sikafloor®-Carpark (A+B) | ~0.5-0.7 kg/m2 |
Basecoat | 1 pbw Sikafloor®-Carpark (A+B+C) 0.65 pbw quartz sand | ~2-2.5 kg/m2
|
Broadcast | 1 pbw Sikafloor®-600 Aggregate Metallic | ~7-9 kg/m2 |
These figure are theoretical and do not allow for any additional materal due to surface porosity, surface profile, variation in level and wastage etc.
EQUIPMENT
- Sikafloor®-Carpark must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300–400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
- For the preparation of mortars use a forced action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Free fall mixers should not be used.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
- Concrete substrates must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2.
- The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.
- If in doubt, apply a test area first.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
- Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface.
- Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
- Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, SikaDur® and SikaGard® range of materials.
- The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled in order to achieve an even surface.
- High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
- All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.
MIXING
- Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part C(Color Paste) has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
- When parts A and C have been mixed, add Part B and mix for a further 2 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 minimise air entrainment.
APPLICATION
- Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, r.h. and dew point.
- If > 4% pbw moisture content, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a T.M.B. (temporary moisture barrier) system
- Primer:
Pour the material on the concrete substrate, and use trowel or short-piled roller to spread the material, - Base coat:
Pour the Sikafloor®-Carpark mixture onto the cured primer. Spread evenly by a serrated trowel. Roll the misture immediately in two directions with a spiked roller to ensure even thickness and no entrapped air. The coverage is 3-4 kg/m2. - Broadcast:
While the Sikafloor®-Carpark mixture is still wet, broadcast Sikafloor®-600 Aggregate Metallic to the resin in excess. The consumption is approximately 7-9 kg/m2 in order to achieve the desired thickness & roughness. Ensure full coverage of Sikafloor®-600 Aggregate Metallic and no bald patches of resin remain. - Let the materials cure. Once the material is fully cured, remove excess aggregate by brush or vacuum.
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.
