Application
Mixing Ratio
Mixed resin
Part A : Part B = 75 : 25 (by weight)
Mixed resin and Decodur Part C filler
Sika-CompactFloor: 1 part resin: 1 part Sikafloor®-CompactFiller
Wearing course Sika-DecoFloor: 1 part resin: 1.5 part Sikafloor®-DecoFiller
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied floor material must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.
Substrate Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
≤4 % parts by weight
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 | ~ 60 minutes |
+20 °C | ~ 30 minutes |
+30 °C | ~ 20 minutes |
Curing Time
Before overcoating Sikafloor®-169 allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10°C | 45 hours | 4 days |
+20°C | 36 hours | 3 days |
+30°C | 24 hours | 2 days |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Applied Product Ready for Use
Temperature | Foot traffic | Light traffic | Full cure |

These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc. For detailed information, refer to the System Data Sheets: Sikafloor® Decodur ES-22 granite, Sikafloor® Decodur ES-26 flake, Sikafloor® Decodur EB-26 Quartz and Sikafloor® Decodur EM-21 Compact.
MIXING
Prior to mixing all parts, mix separately part A (resin) using a low speed single paddle electric stirrer (300–400 rpm). Add Part B (hardener) to Part A and mix part A + B continuously for 2.0 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. When parts A and B have been mixed. Using a double paddle (axis) electric stirrer (> 700 W), pan type revolving or forced action mixer or other suitable equipment (free fall mixers must not be used). Gradually add the required Decodur Part C filler or for mortars the appropriate granulometry of aggregate. Mix for a further 2.0 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth consistent mix. Excessive mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment. 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. Mix full units only. Mixing time for A+B = 2.0 minutes. A+B+C = 4.0 minutes.
APPLICATION
