~ 100%

Resistant to many chemicals. Please ask for a detailed chemical resistance table.

Short-term moist/wet heat* up to +80°C where exposure is only occasional (steam cleaning etc.).

           
* No simultaneous chemical and mechanical exposure and only in combina-tion with Sikafloor-13 / -16 / -17 Pronto as a broadcast system with approx. 3 - 4 mm thickness

Self-smoothing screed and levelling mortar:
Part A : part C : Pigment = 12.5 : 25 : 1 (by weight)
The amount of Hardener required is dependent on the ambient- and substrate temperature (see table below).

Sikafloor-14 Pronto 12.5 kg:

Sika-Pronto Hardener (%pbw):

Sikafloor-Pronto Filler: 25 kg

Sika-Pronto Pigment: 1 kg

Seal coat (underneath Sikafloor-16 Pronto):
Part A : Pigment = 9 : 1 (by weight)
The amount of Hardener required is dependent on the ambient- and sub-strate temperature (see table below).

+0°C min. / +30°C max.

80 % r.h. max.

Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3°C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.

1. Primer:

2. Levelling Mortar:

(surface roughness up to 3 mm)

3. Broadcast base coat:

using quartz sand or coloured quartz sand (film thickness ~ 2 - 4 mm)

4. Broadcast base coat:

using coloured chips (film thickness ~ 3 - 4 mm)

5. Seal coat:

(dry interior areas)

6. Seal coat:

(interior or exterior areas)

7. Seal coat:

(permanent or part-time (approx. >25%) wet areas)

These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile ,variations in level or wastage etc.

Mix part A thoroughly, then add the Sikafloor-Pronto Filler, and (if required) the Sika-Pronto Pigment and mix for at least 1 minute. When the different components are adequately mixed, add the Hardener in the correct quantity and mix for a further 1 minute.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment. For ease of handling, 25 kg units may be split (2 x 12.5 kg) (refer to Mixing table).
Always weigh out components.

For indoor work, spark free mixing equipment must be used (explosion-proof)!
Sikafloor-14 Pronto must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.

Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, r.h. and dew point.
For external applications, apply on a falling temperature. If applied during rising temperatures “pin holing” may occur from rising air.

               
Levelling:
Rough surfaces need to be levelled first. Therefore use e.g. Sikafloor-14 Pronto or Sikadur-12 Pronto levelling mortar (see PDS). Apply by squeegee / trowel to the required thickness.
         

Broadcast base coat:
Sikafloor-14 Pronto is poured, spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel. Roll immediately in one direction with a spiked roller to ensure even thickness and to remove entrapped air. Immediately afterwards, broadcast with quartz sand.

            
Note: broadcast quartz sand in ca. three steps, which means the first couple of times broadcast slightly, then to excess in order to ensure an even distribution of quartz sand and to avoid misplacing of the material.

              
A multi coloured surface can be obtained by broadcasting with coloured-chips or coloured-quartz. (The compatibility of the coloured-chips to PMMA-systems must be checked prior to application).

               
The material cures very quickly and therefore application must be carried out steadily and “wet on wet” in order to achieve joint free floors.

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechani-cally.
