Sikafloor® Terrazzo EM-10

Low VOC, coloured epoxy Terrazzo Flooring System

Sikafloor® Terrazzo EM-10 is a decorative, highly mechanically resistant, low VOC flooring System. When applied as a mortar, the mixture of natural marble aggregates and coloured epoxy binder forms a seamless layer that can be ground and polished to a high gloss finish. The System provides high durability and ease of maintenance for heavily trafficked commercial and public areas.

  • 18 standard colours make it easy to select your personal choice, and combined with a wide range of aggregates, the System can be customised to endless design possibilities.
  • Stays in good condition throughout its lifetime, requiring minimal cleaning and maintenance. 
  • System build up provides a crack free, seamless floor. 
  • Low VOC emissions. 
  • Good yellowing resistance. 
  • Aesthetically pleasing.

NOTE: The two application variants will look slightly different side by side.

NOTE: Consumption data is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply the product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.

NOTE: The consumption may vary due to temperature differences and sieve curve in the aggregate mix. A mock-up trial is needed to define the dedicated consumption of all materials.
Application steps

APPLICATION

Application by trained personnel

IMPORTANT: The application of this System must only be carried out by Sika® trained and approved contractors, experienced in this type of application.
 

Temporary heating

IMPORTANT: If temporary heating is required, do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters. These produce large quantities of both carbon dioxide and water vapour, which may adversely affect the finish.

  1. For heating, use only electric powered warm air blower systems.
     

Protecting the material after application

IMPORTANT: After application, protect the System from damp, condensation and direct water contact for at least 24 hours.
 

Aggregates influence floor colour

IMPORTANT: The aggregates used in this System are natural products and will vary in colour and shade. The aggregates will influence the final floor colour.
 

Pre-trials

IMPORTANT: Before the application, perform project specific mix design pre-trials. These should enable adjustments to the mix to achieve an acceptable final appearance, establish production rates, predict pinhole frequency and finalise aggregate and binder consumption.
