Application steps

MIXING

Mixing Ratio - 2 : 1 by volume.
Premix each Component separately. Empty Component B (Hardener) in the correct mix ratio into Component A (Resin). Mix the combined components for at least 3 minutes using a low speed drill (300 - 450 rpm) and Exomixer or Jiffy type paddle suited to the volume of the mixing container to minimize entrapped air. Be careful not to introduce any air 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

As a Grout Coat on Sikafloor Epoxy Mortar Systems
Sikafloor®-264 Thixo Lite is applied with a flat rubber squeegee or flat metal trowel tightly over a smooth surface. Back-rolling is typically done with an 18 inch (455 mm) wide nap, 3/8-inch (10 mm), solvent-resistant roller cover. Back-roll the Sikafloor®-264 Thixo Lite only to level the squeegee applied material. Over-rolling and late back rolling may cause bubbling and leave roller marks. Product has a limited pot life, see Typical Data. Do not apply by dipping roller into mixing container. Pour a bead of product in the form of a ribbon on the surface to be coated, then spread with squeegee and back-roll.
