Concrete
After the first application, allow the floor to dry until no longer visibly wet.
If crystals develop during the second application, flush the surface liberally with clean water, preferably hot. At the same time, rapidly brush the floor with a stiff-bristled broom. Then mop up excess water and allow the surface to dry.
Concrete, Polished Sheen
To achieve the appearance of a polished sheen from traffic, use 3 applications of Sikafloor® CC 700. The first is diluted 4 to1 (water to Sikafloor® CC 700), the second is diluted 3 to 1, and the third is diluted 2 to 1 (see Yield section).
As the last application is drying, wait for the uniform appearance of white crystals. Flood the floor with water and buff with a commercial floor buffer abrasive pad. Continue buffing until the floor acquires a patina or polish and the whiteness is gone.
The above recommendation is for dense, steeltroweled floors. Older or more porous concrete may require less dilution or a lower coverage rate or more than 3 applications.
Caution: Unusually wet or oily environments will be more slippery with this surface treatment.
Terrazzo (Non-Resin Based)
Do not allow the first application to dry.
While the surface is still damp, flush it thoroughly with clean hot water and then allow it to dry until no longer visibly wet. For the second application, follow the same procedure but mop up excess wash water and allow the surface to dry.
White crystals developing after the first or second application signifies too strong a mix or the surface reaching maximum hardness. If this occurs, stop the application and flush the surface with clean, hot water; broom with a stiff bristle broom, and allow to dry. If any applications remain, increase the dilution ratio to avoid further problems.
