Application
Mixing ratio
Part A : P : B : C :D = 1 : 0.3 1.1 : 1.2: 13.3 (packaging size = 1.3 : 0.4 : 1.5 : 1.6 : 17.3) by weight. Mix full units only.
Layer thickness
3–9 mm
Ambient air temperature
+10 °C min. / +40 °C max.
Relative air humidity
85 % max.
Dew point
Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Substrate temperature
+10 °C min. / +40 °C max.
Substrate moisture content
Can be installed on substrates with higher moisture content. No ponding water. Check rising moisture. The substrate needs to be visibly dry and have adequate pull-off strength min 1.5 N/mm2.
Pot Life
Temperatures | Time |
+10 °C | ~ 35–40 minutes |
+20 °C | ~ 22–25 minutes |
+30 °C | ~ 15–18 minutes |
+35 °C | ~ 12–15 minutes |
Curing time
Before overcoating Sikafloor®-29 PurCem® allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10 °C | 20 hours | 72 hours |
+20 °C | 10 hours | 48 hours |
+30 °C | 5 hours | 24 hours |
+35 °C | 5 hours | 24 hours |
Times are approximate and will be affected be changing ambient and substrate conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
~ 2.0 kg/m2/mm
MIXING
Premix part A with a low speed electric stirrer and then add pigment and mix until uniform. Add part B and mix for 30 seconds. Make sure all pigment is uniformly distributed. Use a double paddle (axis) mixer and gradually add part C & D (aggregate) to the mixed resin. DON’T DUMP!
Allow part C & D to blend for further 2 minutes minimum, to ensure complete mixing and a uniform moist mix is obtained. During the operations, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once (parts A+P+B+C+D) to ensure complete mixing. Mix full units only.
Mixing tools
Use a low speed electric stirrer (300-400 rpm) for mixing parts A and B. For preparation of the mortar mix use a pan type revolving mixer.
APPLICATION
Priming:
Subject to the various applications, different epoxy primers can be used, For standard coves under 100mm in Height, Sikafloor 160/161 should be used. For concrete kerbs and vertical renders, Sikadur 31/33 Can be used, for vertical applications apply the Sikadur 31/33 by way of a 4mm V-Notch Trowel prior to the application of Sikafloor®-29 PurCem® the Thixotropic Nature of the Sikadur 31/33 Adhesives will greatly aid in the ability of the Sikafloor®-29 PurCem® to hold in place on vertical applications.
Application of Sikafloor®-29 PurCem®
Apply the mixed Sikafloor®-29 PurCem® onto the ready primed substrate and compact to the appropriate thickness, then finish the detailing profile with a coving trowel or steel float. Apply Sikafloor®-29 PurCem® while the primer is still tacky. If the primer becomes tack free, reapply the primer.
Top Coats:
Sikafloor®-29 PurCem® Is fully servicable without top coats, however in order to provide a smoother and more colour consistent finish, 1-2 x Coats of Sikafloor 31 PurCem top Coat should be applied.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened/cured material can only be mechanically removed.
