Application

SUBSTRATE QUALITY / PRE-TREATMENT
Concrete substrates 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. If in doubt, apply a test area first.

Substrate Preparation

Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using vacuum assisted shot blasting, scabbling / scarifying or diamond grinding equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface. Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, SikaDur® and SikaGard® range of materials.

The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled in order to achieve an even surface. 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.

MIXING
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. Sikafloor®-3000 FX 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®-3000 FX is poured and spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel or pin rake and finished with a flat trowel, spatula or similar. Once Sikafloor®-3000 FX is tack-free apply the seal coat.
