SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

Reduced service life due to incorrect treatment of cracks

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

  1. For static cracks, ensure the width is suitable for overcoating with Sika® Ucrete® PLC.
  2. For dynamic cracks, ensure the movement is within the movement capacity of Sika® Ucrete® PLC.

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 Product 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 30 N/mm2) with a minimum tensile strength of 1.5 N/mm2.

Substrates must be clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.

APPLICATION

Application must be undertaken by a fully trained and licensed Sika® Ucrete® applicator.
