SikaScreed® HardTop-70

Cementitious, rapid hardening, high strength, floor levelling screed and repair mortar

SikaScreed® HardTop-70 is a cementitious, one-part, rapid hardening, high strength, floor levelling screed and repair mortar for industrial floors. The Product provides a low maintenance, high mechanical and abrasion resistant smooth screed, suitable as a finished surface or a base layer for resin based coating. Layer thickness 10 to 200 mm. Suitable for both internal and external use.

  • Pre-batched, one-part mortar that only needs the addition of water.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Easy to apply and lay as a monolithic flat floor finish, or on a slope.
  • Rapid hardening screed and repair mortar (≥45 N/mm² at 24 hours).
  • Usability after only ~24 hours.
  • High mechanical and abrasion resistance.
  • Final, trafficable, screed wearing layer.
  • Screed suitable for underfloor heating (either water or electrical systems).
  • May be covered or overlaid with epoxy, polyurethane or hybrid flooring systems after only 18 hours.
  • Application of resin-based flooring primers / sealers within hours, not days. 
  • Deep sections can be installed in a single layer, saving time and money.

MIXING

Small to Medium Volumes

  • Mixing containers
  • Weighing scales
  • Water containers
  • Water measuring container
  • Double spiral mix paddle and drill (<500 rpm)
  • Forced action mixer or rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Freefall mixers must not be used

Large Volumes

  • Weighing scales
  • Water containers
  • Water measuring container
  • Forced action mixer or rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Freefall mixers must not be used

APPLICATION

SURFACE FINISHING

  • Hand trowels
  • Walk behind power trowels (disc and blade types)
  • Finishing brooms

CURING

  • Polyethylene sheeting

MIXING

Small to Medium Volumes

  • Pour the minimum recommended clean water quantity in a suitable mixing container.
  • While stirring slowly with drill and mixing paddle, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly for at least for 3 minutes, adding additional water if necessary to the maximum specified amount, and adjust to the required consistency to achieve a smooth consistent mix.
  • The consistency must be checked after every mix. 

Large Volumes

  • Pour the minimum recommended clean water quantity into the forced action mixer or rotating pan.
  • Slowly, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly for at least for 3 minutes, adding additional water if necessary to the maximum specified amount, and adjust to the required consistency to achieve a smooth consistent mix.
  • The consistency must be checked after every mix and compared to mixing by drill and mixing paddle technique.

APPLICATION

BONDED SCREEDS

Bonding Bridge

  • SikaScreed®-20 BB: To the prepared dry or matt damp substrate without any standing water, apply SikaScreed® HardTop-70 ‘wet-on-wet’ onto the SikaScreed®-20 BB within 30 minutes of mixing (+20 °C). Also refer to SikaScreed®-20 BB Product Data Sheet.

Note: If SikaScreed®-20 EBB bonding bridge has dried, they must be removed mechanically and replaced before application of SikaScreed® HardTop-70.

APPLICATION

Bonded, Unbonded and Floating Screeds

  • Pour mixed SikaScreed® HardTop-70 onto a sufficiently prepared substrate and apply evenly to the required thickness using appropriate spreading equipment.
  • Level surface with screed bar / straight edge.

Surface Finishing

  • Finishing should be carried out to the required surface texture using suitable finishing tools.
  • To obtain optimum surface strength, finish SikaScreed® HardTop-70 with suitable equipment such as trowels or walk-behind power floats. Do not use heavy ride-on trowelling machines.

Start Finishing / Smoothing

45 to 60 minutes after laying

Finishing Time

Comparable to concrete

  • For high abrasion resistance values float the surface several times to achieve a very smooth finish using a disc power float.
  • Apply Sikafloor®-140 W Trowelling Primer during powerfloating if additional resin layers are required. Refer to the Method Statement: Sikafloor® HardTop-60 / 70 Fast Screed Systems.
  • Small areas which are difficult to access and where optimum surface strength is not required, use suitable hand trowels.

Curing

  • Curing must start after the last finishing operation using either coating within 48 hours, polyethylene sheeting, or for rapid same day coating, the use of a suitable system primer or impregnation. Refer to appropriate system data sheet for waiting times and further information.
  • For an uncoated system, use Sikagard®-914 W Stainprotect or Sikagard®-915 Stainprotect cure SikaScreed® HardTop-70 with polyethylene sheeting.
  • Curing with polyethylene sheeting must be maintained for at least 18 hours. At temperatures between +10 °C and +15 °C (substrate and air), the screed has to be cured with polyethylene sheeting for at least 24 hours.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
