Mixing Ratio
The amount of Hardener required depends on the substrate temperature:
Substrate temperature | % by weight (Sikafloor® Pronto Hardener) |
-10 °C | 4.5 % |
0 °C | 3.0 % |
+10 °C | 2.0 % |
+20 °C | 1.5 % |
+30 °C | 1.0 % |
The hardener powder can also be supplied by Sika under the product name "Perkadox GB 50 X“
Product Temperature
Minimum | -10 °C |
Maximum | +30 °C |
Ambient Air Temperature

Maximum | +30 °C |
Substrate Moisture Content
≤ 4 % parts by weight moisture content.
Test method: Sika-Tramex or CM.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-Sheet).

+0 °C | ~32-26 minutes |
+10 °C | ~18-22 minutes |
+20 °C | ~12-14 minutes |
+30 °C | ~10-12 minutes |
Curing Time
Substrate temperature | Minimum |
+0 °C | 50-60 minutes |
+10 °C | 45-55 minutes |
+20 °C | 35-45 minutes |
+30 °C | 30-40 minutes |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity
Consumption
0.30–0.40 kg/m2
Note:These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.
MIXING
Mix part A thoroughly. Then add Sika®-Pronto Hardener in the correct quantity and mix for a further 1 minute. Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air entrainment. For ease of handling, units may be split (refer to Mixing Table). Always weigh out components.
Mixing Tools
For indoor work, spark free mixing equipment must be used (explosion-proof)! Sikafloor®-10 Pronto N 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. For external applications, apply on a falling temperature. If applied during rising temperatures “pin holing” may occur from rising air.
Priming:
Normal non-porous surfaces:
Apply one coat of Sikafloor®-10 Pronto N. Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate, i.e. minimum 0.4 kg/mm². If in doubt, apply another priming coat.
Absorbent surfaces:
Apply two coats wet on wet of Sikafloor®-10 Pronto N until saturation of the substrate is achieved. For waiting time before overcoating see table “Waiting Time / Overcoatability”.
Apply Sikafloor®-10 Pronto N using a “non-fuzzing”, short-pile nylon roller.
The freshly applied priming coat can be blinded slightly with quartz sand 0.6 - 1.2 mm, consumption approx. 0.2 - 0.5 kg/m². If the subsequent layer is Sikafloor®-32 Pronto applied as a scratch coat, lightly blinding is mandatory.
Difficult surfaces:
The application of a trial area is mandatory, when using Sikafloor®-10 Pronto N as a primer for difficult surfaces, such as tiles, asphalt, steel etc.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
