Sika Sikafloor 169 may only be used by experienced professionals.

Application

The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2. The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc. High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.

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

Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

When using an additional C component like the Sikafloor DecoFiller, please add the C component after Parts A and B have been mixed, in the correct mixing ratio (wearing course Sika-DecoFloor; 1 part resin:1.5part Sikafloor DecoFiller) and mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. For mortars, add the premixed Sikafloor®-169 to the aggregates and mix until a uniform mix has been achieved.

Sika Sikafloor 169 must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment. For the preparation of mortars use a forced action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Free fall mixers must not be used.
