Mix full unit only

Minimum/Maximum 50˚/85˚F (10˚/30˚C).

Sikafloor®-200 C ESD must be applied and distributed immediately after mixing.  *Do not apply after indicated Pot Life is exceeded.

Elecrtical Properties: Full electrical properties reached within 10 days of application at 73°F (23°C).

3.56 mixed gallons (approximate coverage) at: 16 mils = 356 ft2 (35 m2)
Sikafloor®-200 C ESD should be applied at 15 - 18 mils.
Product will lose ESD properties if applied at excessive thickness. Do not exceed the recommended thickness.

Mix full units only
Premix each component separately. Stir every Component A container with a long margin tool to ensure contents are evenly distributed scraping the sides, corners and bottom of the pail. A jiffy-type mixing paddle with a variable speed mixing drill is then placed in the Component A container and while running add the ESD color pack (2 cans) and flow additive (2 cans) to the vortex of the mix. Then add the Component B to the pigmented Component A and mix for 3 minutes at a moderate speed (300rpm), scraping the container sides, bottom, and corners with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing. . Immediately prior to application, strain the mixed material into a clean vessel using a fine paint strainer with a mesh size of 190 - 200 microns (nominal 80 mesh).

  
Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature. Sikafloor 200 ESD/200C ESD must be placed and distributed on the application surface immediately after mixing.

Do not hand mix Sikafloor materials. Mechanically mix only. Do not thin this product. Addition of thinners (e.g. water, solvent, etc.) will slow cure and reduce ultimate properties of this product. Use of thinners will void any applicable Sika warranty.

The Sikafloor 200C ESD should be applied with a notched squeegee over a smooth primed substrate. The notched squeegee should be 18 to 24 inches (45.6 to 60.1 cm) long with 1/16 to 1/8 inch (1.6 - 3.2 mm) notches at 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) intervals. This type of squeegee will apply sufficient material to achieve 15 - 18 wet mils when back rolled. Back rolling is typically done with a 9 inch (22.8 cm) or 18 in (45.6 cm) wide, 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) short nap , solvent resistant roller cover. Back roll the Sikafloor 200C ESD to level the material applied. Over-rolling and late back rolling may cause bubbling and leave roller marks. Divide the floor into sections that can be completed without stopping. When ending a section, tape it off to form a clean edge for an adjacent section.

The recommended application procedures are:

1. Take one 5 gallon (18.9 liter) pail of the mixed Sikafloor 200C ESD and start at one end of the section to be coated. Trim the walls and/or obstructions in the immediate area where the coating will be applied. Pour the Sikafloor 200C ESD in a line approximately 1 ft (0.3 m) from the wall or starting line along the entire width of the section to be coated
2. The person using the squeegee can then make one pass along the wall or starting line, turn and come back making a second pass adjacent to the first pass. Next, use the rollers to level the Sikafloor 200C ESD squeegee applied material. One person can roll apply a 15 to 20 ft (4.6 - 6.1 m) wide section. Do this as quickly as possible.
3. Pour another line of Sikafloor 200C ESD approximately 1 ft (0.3 m) from the rolled area and repeat step 2. The rolling personnel should make sure they are not leaving puddles or thick sections of Sikafloor 200C ESD at the junction of the previously rolled and freshly applied Sikafloor 200C ESD.
4. Follow these procedures until the section is completed. If the work must stop for any reason, use a tapeline as a breaking point.          

• Do not apply while ambient and substrate temperatures are rising, as pinholes may occur. Ensure there is no vapor drive at the time of application. Refer to ASTM D4263, may be used for a visual indication of vapor drive.
• Do not apply Sikafloor 200 ESD/200C ESD directly onto concrete substrate. Use of a Sikafloor primer and/or isulating layer prior the application of Sikafloor 200 ESD/200C ESD is required.
• Polymer concrete reinforcement fibers may interfere with conductive properties of Sikafloor ESD products. Consult Technical Service before applying to fiber reinforced substrates.
• Will discolor over time when exposed to sunlight (UV) and under certain artificial lighting conditions.
• Do not apply Sikafloor to concrete substrate containing aggregates susceptible to ASR (Alkali Silica Reaction) due to risk of natural alkali redistribution below the Sikafloor product after application. If concrete substrate has or is suspected to have ASR (Alkali Silica Reaction) present, do not proceed. Consult with design professional prior to use.
• Any aggregate used with Sikafloor systems must be non-reactive and oven-dried.
• This product is not designed for negative side waterproofing.
• Use of unvented heaters and certain heat sources may result in defects (e.g. blushing, whitening, debonding, etc.).
• Beware of air flow and changes in air flow. Introduction of dust, debris, and particles, etc. may result in surface imperfections and other defects.
• For professional use only by experienced applicators.
