Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Cementitious substrates (concrete) shall be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum tensile strength of 1,5 N/mm2.

Substrates shall be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Cementitious substrates shall be prepared mechanically using suitable abrasive blast/water jetting cleaning equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface profile suitable for the product thickness.

Weak cementitious substrates must be removed and surface defects such as blow holes and voids must be fully exposed.

Priming, repairs to the substrate, filling of cracks, blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials. Products must be cured before applying Sikalastic®-8440

All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by vacuum cleaning equipment.

 

MIXING

Dose and mix with a suitable air driven or electrical plural component heated spray equipment. Both components must be heated up to +70 °C. The accuracy of mixing and dosage must be controlled regularly with the equipment. Thoroughly stir part B (resin) using a drum stirrer until a homogenous colour is obtained.

APPLICATION

Sikalastic®-8440 is spray applied in a continuous operation to achieve a consistent thickness and surface finish.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools with Thinner C immediately after use. Spray equipment has to cleaned and filled with Mesamoll. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
