Coverage
Depending upon profile of existing surface, coverage is approximately
350 ft2 per gallon (8.6m2/L) per coat,
Clear at 350–400 ft2 per gallon (8.6–9.8 m2 /L) at 4–5 wet mils
Wet: 4.0–5.0 mils / coat
Dry: 2.0–3.0 mils / coat
Two (2) coats are suggested over a primed surface
(The above figures do not allow for surface profile or wastage)
MIXING
Field Pigmented Mixing Ratio - 1.5:1 by volume + 1 quart Sikafloor Polyurethane Color Additive.
Premix each component separately. If color is desired, the appropriate Sikafloor® Urethane Color Additive is added to Component A at a rate of 1 quart per 2.50 mixed gallons (i.e. Components A+B). Mix Component A (Isocyanate) and Sikafloor Polyurethane Color Additive for 2 minutes or until a uniform color is achieved with a low speed drill (300–450 rpm) and Exomixer or Jiffy type paddle suited to the volume. Empty component - B (Catalyst) in the correct mix ratio to component - A (Isocyanate) and mix for additional 2 minutes. 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 coating. 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.
Clear Resin: Mixing Ratio - 2 : 1 by volume.
Premix each component separately and divide each component into smaller potion (i.e. 2 gal. Component - A and 1 gal. Component - B). Empty contents of Component A or correctly measured part of such into a suitably sized and clean mixing container and add contents of Component B or correct ratio of such. Prepare only that quantity which can be used within the pot life of the material. 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 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.
For bulk packaging, when not mixing full units, each component must be pre-mixed separately to ensure product uniformity.
Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.
APPLICATION
Pour a thin bead (approximately 6’’-12’’ wide) of Sikafloor®-340 on the surface, use a flat squeegee to distribute the material evenly and back roll. Back roll the Sikafloor®-340 only to level the thickness of material applied. Do not apply in excess of 5 mils (0.125mm) WFT, failure of the coating may occur. Divide the floor into sections (at expansion joints or doorways when possible) that can be completed without stopping. Where a section will end, it should be taped off to form a straight line providing a clean edge for an adjacent section. Back rolling is typically done with an 18-inch (.5 m) short nap, 3/8-inch (9.5 mm), solvent resistant roller cover. Overrolling may cause non-uniform sections and bubbling.
