Ambient Air Temperature

Maximum

+30 °C

Minimum

+8 °C

Dew Point

Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above the 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.

Maximum

+30 °C

Minimum

+8 °C

Curing Time

The floor can be returned to service after 24 hours.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient and substrate conditions.

Waiting Time / Overcoating

Minimum

16 hours

Maximum

48 hours

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

Application steps

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® TC.
  2. For dynamic cracks, ensure the movement is within the movement capacity of Sika® Ucrete® TC.

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.
