Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Laitance and all loose material including dust, oil and grease should be removed in order to produce a sound surface.

MIXING

Pour resin into polythene or rubber bucket. Add catalysed filler slowly whilst continuously mixing using a slow speed, high torque drill with paddle mixer. Continue mixing until a uniform consistency is obtained.

APPLICATION

Apply mixed mortar to the prepared substrate using a suitable trowel. Up to 25mm thickness of mortar may be placed in a single layer. Thicker beds should be placed in 25mm applications. Mortar should be well compacted onto prepared surface. Place the paving unit onto the mortar bed and press down into the required position. Any product extruded from beneath the units can be easily scraped and removed to create a clean and tidy finish.

CURING TREATMENT

Due to the chemical nature of the product no special curing is required.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
