Consumption
~1.35 kg/m2 per mm of thickness. This figure is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days.
Adequate substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone) must always be confirmed.
MIXING
Pre-mix each component. Proportion equal parts by volume of Component „B‟ and Component „A‟ into a clean pail. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes with Sika paddle on low speed (400-600 rpm) drill until uniform in colour. Mix only the quantity that can be used within its potlife.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Uncured material may be cleaned from application tools, etc. by using Sika Colma Cleaner (flammable solvent). Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
