Coverage
Coating System | Product | Consumption |
Sealing of smooth surfaces | Sikafloor®-315 | Pigmented with Wear Additive = 1,400 SF at 3.5 wet mils Clear with Wear Additive = 1,300 SF at 3.5 wet mils |
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc.
Lower consumption can cause roller marks, gloss differences and irregular surface structure, higher consumption result in water retention.
MIXING
Mix Ratio: Mix full units only
Clear Resin:
Empty the entire contents of the Component B (Isocyanate) into a clean bucket/container large enough to accommodate the mix size quantity. Using a Jiffy Blade and drill, add the the Component A (Catalyst) to the Component B (Isocyanate) under agitation. Mix at low speed for 1 minute (300 - 450 rpm). Next, slowly add the wear additive aggregate to the material under agitation, mix for 2 minutes. Be careful not to introduce any air bubbles while mixing. Make sure the contents are completely mixed to avoid any weak or partially cured spots in the coating. During the mixing operation, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.
Field Pigmented:
Premix each component separately. If color is desired, the appropriate Sikafloor Urethane Pigment Pack is added to Component B (Isocyanate) at a rate of 1 quart per 2.34 mixed gallons (i.e. Components A+B). Mix Component B (Isocyanate) and Sikafloor Polyurethane Color Additive for 2 minutes or until a uniform color is achieved with a low speed drill (300 - 450 rpm) and Exomixer or Jiffy type paddle suited to the volume. Empty Component A (Catalyst) in the correct mix ratio to Component B (Isocyanate) and mix for additional 2 minutes. Be careful not to introduce any air bubbles while mixing. Make sure the contents are completely mixed to avoid any weak or partially cured spots in the coating. During the mixing operation, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing. Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.
APPLICATION
Prior to application confirm relative air humidity and dew point.
Application of Sikafloor®-315 using a Roller (with or without wear aggregate):
Sikafloor®-315 is applied with an 18 inch (454 mm) wide short nap roller, 3/8-inch (10 mm), solvent-resistant roller cover at a thickness of 3 – 3.5 mils (0.075 mm). The floor area to be coated should be divided into sections that can be done completely in one application sequence. Sections should be divided at expansion joints or doorways when possible. The end of a section should be taped off to form a straight clean edge for an adjacent section. Pour the material in a roller tray and saturate the roller, remove the excess material by lightly rolling it in the tray. Only cut in an area that can be topcoated within 10 minutes. Apply 3 pairs of 8 - 10 foot long paths on to the floor. Spread the material with roller passes perpendicular to the originally applied paths. This material may be aggressively rolled to even out the application. It is extremely important to apply the coating at a rate of 3 - 3.5 mils to achieve proper appearance, texture, and color stability. If material is applied too heavy, the coating may blister, if too thin, the coating will appear very flat in sheen. It is also very important to remix the material often with the roller in the tray to keep the aggregate from settling. Cross roll the entire area with straight uninterrupted passes across the entire width of the floor. This will reduce roller marks. If appearance is still not uniform after a few of these passes, repeat this procedure.
Application of Sikafloor®-315 using a Flat Squeegee (without wear aggregate):
Pour a thin ribbon, approximately 6’’- 8’’ wide of Sikafloor®-315 onto the floor surface. Using a flat squeegee spread the material at the manufacturers recommended rate. Avoid leaving puddles of the Sikafloor®-315 on the floor surface. Using a 3/8’’ nap roller, back roll the material in the opposite direction that it was squeegee applied. Continue to back roll the material to achieve even coverage across the floor. The Sikafloor 315 can be rolled aggressively to remove any color shading. It is extremely important to apply this material at a rate of 3 – 3.5 mils (WFT). To finish, the Sikafloor®-315 should be cross rolled; uninterrupted across the entire width of the floor. This will help reduce roller marks. It is important to remix the remaining material in the bucket before a fresh ribbon of material is poured onto the floor. This will ensure that the Wear Additive is evenly dispersed in the Sikafloor®-315.
