Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

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.

    

Preparation Work: Concrete - Should be cleaned and prepared to achieve a laitance and contaminant free, open textured surface by blast cleaning or equivalent mechanical means.

  

Steel - Should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly by blast cleaning to white metal finish.

MIXING

Pre-mix each component. Proportion equal parts by volume of Component ‘A’ and ‘B’ into clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 min. with Sika paddle on low-speed (400–600 rpm) drill until uniformly blended. Mix only that quantity that can be used within pot life.

 

To prepare epoxy mortar - Slowly add 5 parts by loose volume of oven-dried sand to 1 part mixed resin.
