MIXING
Sika MonoTop®-612 can be mixed with a low speed (<500 rpm) hand drill mixer or for machine application, using a force action mixer 2 to 3 bags or more at once depending the type and size of mixer. Pour the recommended water in a suitable mixing container. While stirring slowly, add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly at least for 3 minutes to the required consistency.
APPLICATION
Bonding Primer:
On a well prepared and roughened substrate a bonding primer is generally not required for this product. When a bonding primer is required, refer to the System Information above for compatible Sika products and refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for instructions.
Sika MonoTop®-612 can be applied either manually using traditional techniques or mechanically using wet spray equipment. Thoroughly pre-wet the prepared substrate a recommended 2 hours before application. Keep the surface wet and do not allow to dry.
Before application remove excess water e.g. with a clean sponge. The surface shall appear a dark matt appearance without glistening and surface pores and pits shall not contain water.
When manually applying the mortar first make a scratch coat by firmly scrapping the repair mortar over the substrate surface to form a thin layer and fill any pores or pits in the surface. The surface can be finished according to the requirements using a float or with a relevant wooden or plastic float or damp sponge.
CURING TREATMENT
Protect the fresh mortar immediately from premature drying using an appropiate curing method e.g. curing compound, moist geotextile membrane, polythene sheet, etc.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.
