Consumption
As reinforcement corrosion protection coating:
~ 2 kg per m2 and application layer (~1 mm thick)
In total minimum 2 layer thickness (~2 mm thick)
As a bonding primer, substrate:
> 1.5 to 2.0 kg per m2 /mm dependent on substrate conditions
MIXING
SikaTop® Armatec®-110 EpoCem® can be mixed with a low speed (< 250 rpm) electric drill mixer.
Shake components A and B thoroughly before opening. Pour liquid components A and B into a suitable mixing vessel and mix for 30 seconds. While still mixing components A and B slowly add powder component C. Mix the three components together for a minimum 3 minutes, minimising addition of air. Leave to stand for 5–10 minutes until mixed coating material exhibits a brush-able, weakly dripping consistency.
DO NOT ADD WATER
APPLICATION
As reinforcement corrosion protection:
Apply first layer approx. 1 mm thick, using medium hard brush or spray gun to the cleaned reinforcement. Apply 2nd layer when the first coat is fingernail hard (~2–3 hours at +20 °C). Apply subsequent repair mortars wet on dry (so not to wipe off the protection layer).
As a bonding primer:
Apply using medium hard brush or spray gun to prepared substrate. To achieve good bond, SikaTop® Armatec®-110 EpoCem® must be applied well into the substrate, filling all pores (minimum layer thickness 0.5 mm). Apply subsequent repair mortars wet on wet Freshly applied SikaTop® Armatec®-110 EpoCem® must be protected against contamination and rain until application of the repair mortar.
Application under dynamic loading:
SikaTop® Armatec®-110 EpoCem® has been tested with the following Sika repair mortars and is certified for dynamic loading applications. Refer to separate product data sheets for further information.
