NEW SIKA COATING AND SEAL COAT SYSTEM REPRESENTS NEW LEVEL OF FLOORING EXCELLENCE

Sika has launched the next generation of enhanced performance, faster cure floor coatings that are suitable for a range of applications where safety and durability are paramount.


Sikafloor®-2640 is a two-part, epoxy floor coating and seal coat which is notable for its easy application in addition to its hard-wearing, long-term performance.

With excellent blush resistance and zero pigment flotation, Sikafloor®-2640 provides either a seamless smooth, high gloss finish, or a range of slip resistant profiles for areas where optimum mechanical and chemical resistance is required, such as car park decks, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, food and drink manufacturing plants, airport hangers, workshops and garages.


Sikafloor®-2640 has been developed using low emission resin, increasing its sustainable credentials which are further enhanced by its low odour properties. A range of thicknesses can be achieved with this system, depending on the anticipated wear.
For hygiene-critical areas used for food and drink manufacture, it is vital the flooring is low maintenance and easy to clean: Sikafloor®-2640 has both aspects covered.

Accredited to standards EN 15404-2: surface protection product for concrete – coating; and EN 13813: resin screed material for internal use in buildings; Sikafloor®-2640 is the solution when reliable performance and a rapid and easy application are a prerequisite.

Dew Point

Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured applied floor material must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.

Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.

Substrate Temperature

+5 °C min. / +30 °C max.

Application steps

MIXING

Prior to mixing all parts, mix  separately Part A (resin) thoroughly using an electric single paddle mixer (300 - 400 rpm)  or other suitable equipment. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A and mix Part A + B continuously for 3 minutes until a uniformly consistent mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into a clean container and mix again for at least 1 minute to achieve a smooth consistent mix. Excessive mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment. During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a straight edge trowel or spatula at least once to ensure complete mixing. Mix full units only. Mixing time for A+B = ~4 minutes.

APPLICATION

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in method statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity, dew point, substrate, air and product temperatures. If moisture content > 4% parts by weight, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a Temporary Moisture Barrier (T.M.B.) system.

Primer

Pour mixed Sikafloor®-150 /-151 primer onto the prepared substrate and apply by brush, roller or squeegee then back roller in two directions at right angles to each other. Ensure a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats.

Confirm waiting /overcoating time has been achieved before applying subsequent products. Refer to individual primer Product Data Sheet.

Levelling
Rough surfaces must be levelled first using  Sikafloor®-150/-151 levelling mortar. Confirm waiting /overcoating time has been achieved before applying subsequent products. Refer to individual Product Data Sheet.

Textured coating

Pour mixed Sikafloor®-2640 onto the prepared substrate and apply using a short-piled roller in two directions at right angles to each other. A seamless finish can be achieved if a ‘wet’ edge is maintained during application.

Seal coat

After waiting the appropriate overcoating time / curing, pour the mixed Sikafloor®-2640 onto the textured coating and spread evenly using a squeegee at the required consumption rate ( 0.6–0.8 kg/m2 ) to completely encapsulate the sand. Then using a short-piled roller, back roller in two directions at right angles to each other. A seamless finish can be achieved if a ‘wet’ edge is maintained during application.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

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

CLEANING

To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor®-2640 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. Refer to Sika® Information Manual: Sikafloor®-Cleaning Regime.
