Storage Conditions: The product must be stored properly in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging, in dry conditions at temperatures between +5°C and +30°C.

Surface Preparation

• The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.
• All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by vacuum.
• Concrete tensile strength shall not be less than 1.5 N/mm². If in doubt apply a test area first.

Mixing

• Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically.
• When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
• To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix.
• Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

Mixing Tools

• Sikafloor®-3000 FX must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300–400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.

Application

• Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
• Sikafloor®-3000 FX is poured and spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel or pin rake and finished with a flat trowel, spatula or similar.
• Once Sikafloor®-3000 FX is “tackfree” apply the seal coat.

Cleaning Of Tools

• Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use.
• Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.

Limitations

• Freshly applied Sikafloor®-3000 FX must be protected from damp, condensation and water for at least 24 hours. Uncured material reacts in contact with water (foaming).
• During application care must be taken that no sweat drops into fresh Sikafloor®-3000 FX (wear head and wrist bands).
• For exact colour matching, ensure the Sikafloor®- 3000 FX in each area is applied from the same control batch number.
• Under certain conditions underfloor heating or high ambient temperatures combined with high point loading may lead to imprints in the resin.
• If heating is required do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters, these produce large quantities of both CO² and H²O water vapour, which may adversely affect the finish. For heating use only electric powered warm air blower systems.
