Sikafloor-Pronto Hardener must be protected from heat, direct sunlight, moisture and impact.

~ 100%

~ 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 combination with Sikafloor-14 / -15 Pronto as a broadcast system with approx. 3 - 4 mm thickness.

Part A : Pigment = 9 : 1 (by weight)
The amount of Hardener required is dependent on the ambient- and substrate temperature (see table below).

Sikafloor-18 Pronto: 9.0 kg

Sika-Pronto Hardener (%pbw):

The hardener powder can also be ordered under the product name „Perkadox CH 50 X“ by Akzo Nobel, www.akzonobel.com or “Interox BP-50 FT” by Degussa, www.degussa.com or “BP 50 W+” by Pergan GmbH, www.pergan.com.

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.

0°C min. / +30°C max.

Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions.

Before applying Sikafloor-18 Pronto on Sikafloor-14 / -15 Pronto allow:

Before applying Sikafloor-18 Pronto on Sikafloor-18 Pronto allow:

*No time limit, the Sikafloor-Pronto materials can be applied on each other after thorough cleaning

Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
For application on fully broadcast Sikafloor-261 or similar screeds refer to the PDS of this material.

Mix part A thoroughly then add the Hardener in the correct quantity and mix for a further 1 minute.
Pigmented: Mix part A thoroughly. Premix the required amount of Sika-Pronto Pigment with the same quantity of part A by dissolver. Mix part A and the obtained pigment powder (overall content of Sika-Pronto Pigment in the mixture = 10%) for at least 3 minutes. Then 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 (refer to Mixing table). Always weigh out components.  For indoor work, spark free mixing equipment must be used (explosion-proof)!      

Sikafloor-18 Pronto must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
For the preparation of the pigment powder, a dissolver must be used.

Prior to application confirm 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.

          
Seal coat:
Immediately after mixing, pour the Sikafloor-18 Pronto onto the substrate and spread evenly by means of a “non-fuzzing” short-pile nylon roller or squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled roller.
A seamless finish can be achieved if a ‘wet’ edge is maintained during application.

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