Concrete:

• All new concrete slabs must have a wood float finish and be allowed to cure for at least 6 weeks • Old concrete must be cleaned with a strong commercial grade detergent or degreaser. Residue must then be thoroughly washed off with clean water. Allow the surface to dry for at least 24 hours • If the concrete (new or old) has a steel trowel or power float finish, it must be mechanically abraded to expose the aggregate. Laitance must be removed prior to application.

Renders & Screeds

• New rendered or screeds surfaces must have a wood float finish and be allowed to cure for at least 7 days

Substrate Priming: 

Static crack and sheet joint treatment:

For static cracks 0.5–3 mm wide rout out and clean thoroughly before filling with Sika® Neutral Cure Silicone to form a bond breaker. For all sheet joints and seams clean thoroughly and fill with Sika® Neutral Cure Silicone to form a bond breaker, apply a liberal coat of SikaTite® Undertile Rapid extending 100 mm either side of the crack/joint and place bandage into the wet membrane, press down firmly to ensure good contact, apply another liberal coat of SikaTite® Undertile Rapid to the entire surface to embed the bandage.

For dynamic cracks, expansion joints and control joints contact Sika® technical service for advice.

Bond Breaker:

SikaTite® Undertile Rapid has high extensibility and is designed for use with a 12 mm bond breaker, a bead of Sika® Neutral cure silicone.
Cure Silicone must be tooled off to form a 12 mm wide bond breaker. A bond breaker must be installed at areas subject to movement,
wall/wall junction, wall/floor junction, sheet joints and seams, penetrations and where there is a change in the direction or substrate type.

Connector Selant:

For areas that require a connector sealant use Sikaflex Fillet or Sikaflex Pro

Clean tools and equipment with clean water while the material is still wet. Cured coating can only be removed mechanically.
