Preparation

Substrate Quality

The surface should be clean and dry, homogeneous, even, free from oils and grease, dirt and loose or friable particles. Paint and cement laitance must be removed.

Substrate Preparation

• Concrete / cement screed: Must be ground, thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed.

• Anhydrite screed / flowable anhydrite screed: Must be ground and thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed shortly before bonding starts.

• Broadcast mastic asphalt: Must be primed with Sika Primer MB or SikaBond Rapid DPM. Please refer to the respective Product Data Sheet.

• Glazed ceramic and old ceramic tiles: Degrease, clean with Sika Remover 208 or grind the tile surface and vacuum thoroughly.

• Wood / gypsum boards (e.g. chipboards, plywood, plasterboard etc): Glue / screw the boards to the substructure. They must be firmly and securely fixed to the substrate. For floating sub floors, please contact our Technical Service Department for assistance (see below).

• Other substrates: Please contact the Sika Technical Service Department or Rawlins Paints' Technical Support Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for more information.

SikaBond MS Wood Floor can be used without priming on cementitious floors, anhydrite floors, chipboard, concrete and ceramic tiles.

For broadcast mastic asphalt, cementitious floors with excessive moisture content and for use over old adhesive residues or on weak substrates use Sika Primer MB or SikaBond Rapid DPM. For detailed instructions refer to the respective Product Data Sheet.

Application

The minimum rate of application should be no less than 600grms/m² but may be considerably more depending upon the trowel used. Choose a suitable notched trowel to ensure a minimum 75% contact occurs between the adhesive layer and the underside of the flooring. Remove any excess adhesive whilst still wet.

Limitations

• SikaBond MS Wood Floor shall only be used by suitably experienced and trained contractors.
• For optimum workability the adhesive temperature shall be at least +15°C.
• For the correct curing of the adhesive sufficient ambient moisture is necessary.
• Wood floors in non-insulated areas such as basements, or other areas without a damp proof membrane, must only be installed after the application of Sikafloor EpoCem sealed with Sika Primer MB vapour barrier to control the moisture.
• For use with chemically pre-treated types of wood floors (e.g. with ammonia, wood stain, timber preservative) and woods with a high oil content, SikaBond MS Wood Floor is only to be used with the prior written agreement of the Sika Technical Service Department.
• Do not use SikaBond MS Wood Floor on PE, PP, TEFLON, and certain plasticized synthetic materials (carry out pre-trials or contact our Technical Service Department).
• Some wood lacquers on the underside of flooring can negatively influence the adhesion of SikaBond MS Wood Floor (pre trials are therefore recommended).
• SikaBond MS Wood Floor is designed as a wood floor bonding adhesive.
• When laying parquet type wood floors without tongued and grooved joints, e.g. mosaic parquet floors, please note that the wood floor adhesive must not be pressed up into the joints between the wood pieces.
• If direct contact with the adhesive of any subsequently applied materials, such as sealers or coatings, etc. cannot be avoided, then their compatibility should be tested and confirmed prior to their use.
