Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem®

Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem®

SELF-LEVELING BROADCAST CEMENTITIOUS URETHANE SLURRY

Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® is a self-leveling, solid color, three component, cementitious urethane mortar designed to provide excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemical attack. Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® is broadcast with dried quartz sand and sealed with Sikafloor®-31NA PurCem to produce a solid color finish, or can be broadcasted with colored quartz aggregate and sealed with Sikafloor resinous flooring products for a decorative finish. The system is typically installed at 3/16" to 1/4" (188 to 250 mils) thickness.

  • Can be applied on green concrete, typically 7-10 days. Full 28 days cure time is not necessary.
  • Can be applied over partially cured concrete substrates (>4% mass (pbw-part by weight)) as measured with Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter (surface moisture).
  • Can be applied to concrete substrates where <100% relative humidity is measured as per ASTM F2170.
  • Substrate has tensile bond strength in excess of 218 psi (1.5 MPa).
  • Resists a very wide range of organic and inorganic acids, alkalis, amines, salts and solvents. Consult Sika Technical Service for full details. Refer to the Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem Chemical Resistance Chart.
  • Similar coefficient of thermal expansion to concrete allowing movement with the substrate through normal thermal cycling. It will perform and retain its physical characteristics through a wide temperature range from -40°F (-40°C) up to 248°F (120°C).
  • Steam cleanable at 3/16" to 1/4" (188 to 250 mils) thickness.
  • Non-tainting, odorless.
  • Behaves plastically under impact/deforms but will not crack or debond.
  • High abrasion qualities result from its aggregate structure.
  • Extra expansion joints are not necessary; maintain and extend existing expansion joints up through the Sikafloor PurCem Flooring System.
  • Minimal maintenance costs, superior life cycle cost advantage versus tile.
  • Meets the requirements of USDA for use in food plants.

Usage

  • Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem is primarily used to protect concrete substrates in aggressive environments.
  • Food processing plants, wet and dry process areas, kitchen and oven areas, freezers and coolers, dairies, breweries, wineries, distilleries, laboratories, chemical process plants, pulp and paper plants, warehouses and storage areas, and pharmaceutical facilities.
  • When used as a base coat or layer for a MVT system, the minimum thickness of the Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem is 125 mils. This is the minimum thickness prior to the broadcast of any aggregate. NOTE: Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem at 1/8" will not level and will have surface imperfections.

Application steps

MIXING

Mix Ratio Components A : B : C = Mix full units only
A “Kol” type mixer, incorporating a motor spun mixing pail and a shear angle mixing blade, or a forced action mixer is recommended. Mixing will be affected by temperature; condition materials for use to 60 - 70°F (15 - 21°C). Premix Components A and B separately, make sure all pigment is evenly distributed. Pour Components A and B into a clean mixing bucket, and mix for 30 seconds.

 

Add Component C (powder) pouring slowly over a period of 20 seconds. Note: Do not dump powder into resin!  Allow Component C to blend for a further 2-1/2 minutes after all powder is emptied into the resin to ensure complete mixing and that all powders are evenly distributed. During the mixing operations, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing (Components A+B+C).

 

Note: Improved flowability on cool substrates and low ambient temperatures (<55°F) can be achieved by removing a maximum of 2.2 lb (1.0 kg) of Component C (powder) per unit. Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.

APPLICATION

Scratch Coat

Typically not required (see priming instructions)

 

Body Coat

Mix and pour the Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® materials on the floor. Spread to the desired thickness (160 mils - 1/4”) using a screed gauge rake or trowel. Take care to spread newly mixed materials across the transition of previous applied mixes before the surface begins to set. Immediately spike roll the surface to release trapped air in the matrix.

 

Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® requires the wet surface to be broadcast to rejection with quartz or mineral aggregates. Aggregate must fall vertically to avoid surface defects / do not broadcast up to the transition line of new mixes, always broadcast 2 - 3 feet beyond the wet edge. Allow broadcast surface to cure sufficiently to be able to resist foot traffic without damaging the surface. Remove excess aggregate by sweeping or vacuuming until surface is free of all loose particles and dust.

 

A topcoat of Sikafloor®-31 NA PurCem® can be applied to lock in the aggregate. Allow a minimum 18 hour cure period at 68°F (20°C) before foot traffic after the Sikafloor®-31 NA PurCem® is applied. Please refer to the individual most current and respective Product Data Sheet for specific and detailed information.
