Application

Application Information

Ambient Air Temperature

+5°C min. / +30°C max.

Lower temperature and humidity will prolong curing times.  Ensure the floor is protected from foot traffic until adequately cured.

Relative Air Humidity

80% r.h. max.
35% min. (below +20°C: 45% min.)

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.

Substrate Temperature

*+5°C min. / +30°C max.

* Lower temperature and humidity will prolong curing times.  Ensure the floor is protected from foot traffic until adequately cured.

Substrate Moisture Content

<4% pbw moisture content.  Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM - measurement or Oven-dry-method.  No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).

Pot Life

The material in opened containers should be applied immediately.  With open containers surface film formation will occur within 1–2 hours.
High temperatures and high air humidity will accelerate curing significantly.

Curing Time

Before overcoating Sikafloor®-420 allow:

Maximum

+10°C

24 hours

14 days

+20°C

16 hours

14 days

+30°C

12 hours

7 days

Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.  After thorough cleaning, Sikafloor®-420 can be overworked with itself at any time, assuming that all dirt has been removed and contamination is avoided.

Application steps

MIXING

Prior to use stir Sikafloor®-420 mechanically for 3 minutes.  If required the Extender T should be added into the Sikafloor®-420 until a uniform mix has been achieved.  Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrapment.

        
Mixing Tools:
Sikafloor®-420 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 humidity and dew point.

 
Sikafloor®-420 can be applied by brush, roller or squeegee. At higher coverage rates Sikafloor®-420 may be poured and spread evenly with a trowel.

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.
