Application
Layer thickness
3 - 75mm
Ambient air temperature
10°C - 35°C
Mixing ratio
3.5 - 3.8 Litres of clean, cool water
Pot Life
20 Minutes @ 23°C
Initial set time
80 Minutes @ 23°C
Waiting time to overcoating
Allow 24+ hours at 23°C prior to the application of floor coverings.
Drying is dependent on thickness of application, temperature, air flow &
relative humidity.
Increased air flow will help with drying speeds in cooler temperatures.
Testing moisture content before applying floor coverings is recommended.
Yield
12L - 4m2 @ 3mm thickness
EQUIPMENT
- High speed heavy duty electric drill, mixing paddle & suitable size bucket - 20L+
- Purpose built mechanical pump
- Personal protective equipment
MIXING
- Not mixing for the recommended time or additional water may result in product irregularities and possible product failure.
- Sikafloor® Level Eco is designed to be mixed in full bags and not part bags
Single Bag Mixing
Mix the entire 20kg bag of Sikafloor® Level Eco with 3.5 - 3.8 Litres of clean, cool water. Slowly add powder to the water while mixing thoroughly for a minimum 2 minutes to a lumpfree consistency.
Multi Bag Mixing Station
Pre-measure the total amount of water for the amount of bags to be mixed. Slowly add powder to the water while mixing thoroughlyto a lumpfree consistency. Mixing time shall be a minimum 2 minutes from the last added bag.
Pump Machine Application
Ensure pump machines are calibrated to avoid excess water in the mixture.
APPLICATION
Pour or Pump Sikafloor® Level Eco, then spread with a long handled gauged spreader to heights as required.
For touch-ups, use a flat steel trowel.
If vinyls are being installed a skim coat of Sikafloor® Level Pro Finish (smoothing compound) may be required.
Areas of application must have fresh airflow to assist with product hydration and drying. Closed off rooms with no fresh air will retard the
curing process and possibly lead to product failure.
.
Second applications:
If required, a second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat is firm enough to walk on without causing excessive damage, approximately 2 hours @ 23°C but no later than 4 hours @ 23°C.
This installation method is referred to as "wet-on-wet" and higher temperatures/air flow will mean this "wet-on-wet" second application time window is reduced, therefore the second coat should always be applied as soon as possible.
Note:
If the first application is allowed to dry past 4 hours @ 23°C, re-priming & subsequent applications should be applied the next day - Normal drying times apply (24+ hours @ 23°C).
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean tools and equipment with warm water and
detergent while the product is still wet.
