Application
Mixing Ratio
Part A : part B = 79 : 21 (by weight)
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % r.h. max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Note: Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.
Substrate Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
≤ 4% pbw
Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).Pot Life

Curing Time
Before applying Sikafloor®-264 N Thixo on Sikafloor®-156/-161 /-160 allow:
| Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| +10 °C | 24 hours | 3 days |
| +20 °C | 12 hours | 2 days |
| +30 °C | 8 hours | 24 hours |
Before applying Sikafloor®-264 N Thixo on Sikafloor®-263 SL N/-264 N allow:
| Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| +10 °C | 30 hours | 3 days |
| +20 °C | 24 hours | 2 days |
| +30 °C | 16 hours | 1 day |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.

Consumption
~ 0.5–0.8 kg/m²
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc. For detailed info, please refer to the System data sheet Sikafloor® Multidur ET-18.
MIXING
Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a smooth consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.
Mixing Tools
Sikafloor®-264 N Thixo must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300–400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity and dew point. If > 4 % pbw moisture content, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a T.M.B. (temporary moisture barrier) system.
Primer
Ensure a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats. Apply Sikafloor®-156 /-161 /-160 by brush, roller or squeegee.
Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then backrolling in two directions at right angles to each other.
Levelling
Rough surfaces need to be levelled first. Therefore use e.g. Sikafloor®-156/-161/-160 levelling mortar (see PDS).
High Build Textured Coating
Sikafloor®-264 N Thixo is poured and spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel and then using a textured roller selected to achieve the required finish. Back-roller in two directions at right angles to each other.
Seal Coat
Apply seal/top coat of Sikafloor®-264 N Thixo by squeegee at a consumption of 0.6–0.8 kg/m2. Then using a textured roller selected to achieve the required finish. Back roller in two directions at right angles to each other.

CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor®-264 N Thixo must have all spillages removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned using rotary brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryer, high pressure washer, wash and vacuum techniques etc. using suitable detergents and waxes.
