Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

Reduced service life due to incorrect treatment of cracks

 

The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service life and reflective cracking.

  1. For static cracks, ensure the width is suitable for overcoating with Sika® Ucrete® RG.
  2. For dynamic cracks, ensure the movement is within the movement capacity of Sika® Ucrete® RG.

 

TREATMENT OF JOINTS AND CRACKS

Construction joints and existing static surface cracks in substrate require pre-treating before full layer application. Use Sikadur® or Sikafloor® resins.

 

The System can be applied on green or damp concrete with no standing water. Allow for at least 3 days for early concrete shrinkage to occur to prevent shrinkage cracks from appearing on the wearing surface.

 

Cementitious substrates must be structurally sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 3625 psi, 25 N/mm2) with a minimum tensile strength of 217 psi.

 

Substrates must be clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.

APPLICATION

Application must be undertaken by a fully trained Sika® Ucrete® applicator.
