If Sikafloor 510N LPL is used as a primer, apply the coating to the prepared substrate using a squeegee and back roll to provide uniform coverage. Ensure that the substrate is porefree and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire substrate. If necessary, apply an additional coat to ensure the substrate is pore-free and pinhole-free, and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire substrate.
- 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 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.
As a topcoat/sealer coat for smooth or broadcast finish
Squeegee and back roll Sikafloor 510N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 10 - 15 mils (160 - 107 ft2/gal). If required, repeat this procedure for a second coat.
As a clear topcoat for a broadcast quartz or flake system
Squeegee and back roll Sikafloor 510N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 10 - 15 mils (160 - 107 ft2/gal). If required, repeat this procedure for a second coat.
As a stand-alone double broadcast quick cure decorative quartz and flake system
Step 1: Primer - Apply neat coat of Sikafloor 510N LPL on a prepared substrate as a primer using a
squeegee and roller without ponding at 5 - 10 mils (160 - 320 ft2/gal).
Note: When using Sikafloor 510N LPL as primer, extra precaution should be taken on substrate preparation and moisture content.
Step 2: First Broadcast Application
Squeegee and back roll Sikafloor 510N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 10 - 15 mils (160 - 107 ft2/gal). Broadcast preblende decorative flakes or colored quartz aggregates into the binder to saturation. Broadcast in a manner so that the flakes or colored quartz aggregates fall vertically into the binder. Broadcast to rejection. Ensure that broadcast flakes/aggregates cover entire surface. Allow broadcast system to cure sufficiently to be able to resist foot traffic without damaging the surface. Remove excess flakes/ aggregates from the surface. Removal of excess flakes/aggregates is carried out by sweeping up the flakes/aggregates, followed by vacuuming, until surface is free of all loose particles and dust.
Step 3: Second Broadcast Application
Squeegee and back roll Sikafloor 510N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 10 - 15 mils (160 - 107 ft2/gal). Broadcast preblended decorative flakes or colored quartz aggregates into the binder to saturation. Broadcast in a manner so that aggregates fall vertically into the binder. Broadcast to rejection. Ensure that broadcast flakes/aggregates cover entire surface. Allow broadcast system to cure sufficiently to be able to resist foot traffic without damaging the surface. Remove excess flakes/aggregates from the surface. Removal of excess flakes/aggregates is carried out by sweeping up the flakes/aggregates, followed by vacuuming, until surface is free of all loose particles and dust.
Step 4: Finish Coat - Squeegee and back roll Sikafloor 510N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 10 - 15 mils (160 - 107 ft2/gal). When required, repeat this procedure.
