Usage
Sikafloor®-1610 is designed as a primer for Sikafloor® epoxy and urethane coatings, as well as broadcast and troweled systems. Sikafloor®-1610 should be considered where ≤ 6 % mass (pbw – part by weight) is measured on concrete substrate with Tramex® CME CMExpert type concrete moisture meter.Advantages

Applied Product Ready for Use
Before applying second coat of Sikafloor®-1610 allow:
| Ambient & Substrate Temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| 50 °F (10 °C) | 24 hours | 36 hours |
| 68 °F (20 °C) | 8 hours | 24 hours |
| 86 °F (30 °C) | 6 hours | 24 hours |
Before applying Sikafloor® Epoxy or Polyurethane on Sikafloor®-1610 allow:
| Ambient & Substrate Temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| 50 °F (10 °C) | 24 hours | 72 hours |
| 68 °F (20 °C) | 8 hours | 48 hours |
| 86 °F (30 °C) | 6 hours | 24 hours |
Coverage
160–200 ft2 / per mixed US gal. (4–5 m2 / L) at 8–10 mils (0.20–0.25 mm) wet film thickness (w.f.t.).
*One coat of Sikafloor®-1610 is required when the concrete substrate moisture is < 5 % (as measured with Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter)
*Two coats of Sikafloor®-1610 are required when the concrete substrate moisture indicates between ≥ 5 % and < 6 % (as measured with Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter). Total required thickenss is 16–20 mils.
MIXING
Each component must be pre-mixed separately to ensure product uniformity.
Primer: Premix each component separately. Empty Component B (Hardener) in the correct mix ratio into Component A (Resin). Mix the combined components for at least 3 minutes using a low speed drill (300–450 rpm) and Exomixer or Jiffy type paddle suited to the volume of the mixing container to minimize entrapped air. Be careful not to introduce any air bubbles while mixing. Make sure the contents are completely mixed to avoid any weak or partially cured spots in the coating. During the mixing operation, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.
Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.
APPLICATION
Apply primer by squeegee at the rate of 160–200 ft2 / US gal (4–5 m2 / L) at 8–10 mils (0.20–0.25 mm) wet film thickness and back roll with pressure after 20 minutes. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the prepared substrate. Apply a second primer coat by squeegee at the rate of 160–200 ft2 / US gal (4–5 m2 / L) at 8–10 mils (0.20–0.25 mm) wet film thickness and back roll with pressure after 20 minutes after the first primer coat is tack free, which is typically after 12 hours at +68 °F (20 °C). Do not apply by dipping roller into mixing container. Pour a bead of product in the form of a ribbon on the substrate to be coated and then spread with squeegee and back roll. Ensure that the coating is pore-free and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate. If necessary, apply an additional primer coat to ensure that the coating is pore-free and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate.
