• ASTM C957

1 year

Store in unopened containers in a cool, clean, dry area

• If a vapor drive is present or suspected, please consult with your local Sika representative prior to system application.
• Not for use in areas exposed to strong solvents (consult Sika Technical Service).
• Protect or remove food items prior to application to avoid any possible contamination.
• Proper airflow is critical to curing MMA materials. The use of fans is mandatory where airflow is restricted.
• The minimum application temperature is 30 °F (-1 °C).
• Do not apply to concrete that is outgassing.
• Warm temperatures will shorten working time; plan work accordingly.
• Concrete should have a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi (21 MPa) and be cured for a minimum of 28 days.
• Do not apply Sikalastic® Vehicular Traffic 2900 to concrete slabs on grade, unvented metal pan decks, or split slab applications with a waterproofing membrane between slabs. Contact Sika Technical Services.
• Be sure to allow for movement in the deck by the proper design and use of expansion and control joints.
• Select the proper type and amount of aggregate to achieve the desired slip resistance.
• Contact Technical Service when substrates are over 90 °F (32 °C) or under 30 °F (-1 °C) or when applying to decks containing between slab membranes.
• The best method to ensure the proper wet film thickness is the use of a grid system. Divide the surface to be coated into grids and calculate the square footage of each. Refer to the coverage chart to determine the quantity of coating needed for each grid to arrive at the required mil thicknesses.
• Avoid application when inclement weather is present or imminent.
• Do not apply to damp, wet, or contaminated surfaces.
• Not suitable for use where chained or metal-studded tires will be used.
• Proper application is the responsibility of the user. Field visits by Sika personnel are for the purpose of making technical recommendations only and not for supervising or providing quality control on the jobsite.
• CAD & PDF deck coating details are available for download from our website, Sika Customer Support can direct you to the site.
• On steep ramps in excess of 15%, contact your local Sika representative. Do not use self-leveling grade products on slopes greater than 15%. Do not coat over expansion joints.

Mixing

• Sikalastic® P 280 FS Measure 3 quarts of resin and 1 quart of Sikalastic®-908 FS into the pail, blend, and add the proper amount of powder hardener. See the mixing chart below. Mix with a drill mixer for 30 seconds or until the powder hardener is completely dissolved.
• Sikalastic® M 290 FS Mix for 2-3 minutes. Measure 1 gallon of resin and add the proper amount of powder hardener. See the mixing chart below. Mix with the drill mixer for 2 minutes.
• Sikalastic® TC 297 FS Measure 1 gallon of resin and 3 oz of PGM 155 pigment into a 5-gallon pail. Mix for 2-3 minutes. Add the proper amount of powder hardener and mix for an additional 1-2 minutes. See the mixing chart below.
• Sikalastic® TC 299 FS Measure 1 gallon of resin and 6 oz of pigment into a 5-gallon pail. Mix for 2-3 minutes. Add the proper amount of powder hardener and mix for an additional 1-2 minutes. See the mixing chart below. Note: After mixing, apply immediately. You will have 7 – 15 minutes of working time, dependent on temperature.

All components of the Sikalastic® Traffic 2900 system fully cure within one hour when properly installed. Extend the curing time in cool-weather conditions.

Clean tools with Sikafloor®-100 CLN Pronto, an MMA solvent. Other solvents such as xylene or acetone may also be used. Collect and dispose of all site waste.
