Application
Mixing Ratio
Component ‘A’: Component ‘B’ = 1:1 by volume
Product Temperature
Condition material to 65°-75°F (18°-24°C) before using.
Ambient Air Temperature
Minimum ambient temperature 40°F (4°C).
Substrate Temperature
Minimum substrate temperature 40°F (4°C).
Pot Life
Approximately 30 minutes. (60 gram mass)
Approximately 22 minutes. (350 gram mass)
Contact Time
40 °F (4 °C)*: 15–16 h 73 °F (23 °C)*: 2–2.5 h 90 °F (32 °C)*: 1.5–2 h
*Material cured and tested at the temperatures indicated.
Coverage
Bonding Adhesive: 1 gal. covers approximately 80 ft2 on smooth surface.
Base Plate Grout: 1 gal. mixed with 1.5 parts oven-dried aggregate by loose volume yields approximately 420 in3 of grout.
Anchoring Grout: 1 gal. yields 231 in3 of grout.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of standing water. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes and any other contaminants.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Concrete - Should be cleaned and prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminant free, open textured surface by blast cleaning or other equivalent mechanical means.
Steel - Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by blast cleaning or other equivalent mechanical means.
MIXING
Pre-mix each component. Proportion equal parts by volume of Component ‘A’ and Component ‘B’ into clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with Sika paddle on low-speed (400-600 rpm) drill until blend is a uniform color. Mix only that quantity that can be applied within its pot life.
