Curing Time
Before applying Sikafloor®-359 SG on Sikafloor®-325 or -264 broadcast allow:
| Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| +10 °C | 36 h | * |
| +20 °C | 24 h | * |
| +30 °C | 16 h | * |
* No maximum waiting time if fully broadcast surface is free from all contaminations.
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.

*For exposed areas the use of Sikafloor®-359 SG as a seal coat is mandatory.
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to application technique, surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc.
MIXING
Mix full kits only. Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 3 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®-359 SG must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 to 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
Seal coat: Sealer coats can be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled roller.
For detailed information regarding application please refer to the method statement.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
