SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Concrete:
- Concrete substrates must be structurally sound and of sufficient compressive strength (min. 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, dust, oil, grease, coatings, laitance and loose friable material.
- Concrete substrates and PCC mortars must be prepared mechanically using suitable abrasive blast-cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured gripping surface profile.
- Moisture content of substrate < 4 % b.w.
MIXING
Stir component A very thoroughly using an electric mixer (start slowly, then increase up to approx. 300 rpm). Add component B carefully and mix both components very thoroughly (including sides and bottom of the container). Mix for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Fill mixed material into clean container, add the aggregates if necessary and mix again shortly as described above. During mixing and handling of the materials always wear protective goggles, suitable gloves and other protective clothings.
APPLICATION
Apply SikaCor® Elastomastic TFN by using a trowel, kaupp trowel, squeegee, serrated trowel or similar.
Overroll the freshly applied layer with a spike roller and broadcast with quartz sand approx. 15 minutes after application (at + 20°C).
Do not thin SikaCor® Elastomastic TFN!
