Thermal Resistance
Exposure* | Dry heat |
Permanent | +50 °C |
Short-term max. 7 days | +80 °C |
Short-term max. 8 hours | +100 °C |
Short-term moist/wet heat* up to +80 °C where exposure is only temporary (steam cleaning etc.).
*No simultaneous chemical and mechanical exposure and only in combination with Sikafloor® systems as a broadcast system with approx. 3–4 mm thickness.
Application
Mixing Ratio
Part A : Part B = 70: 30 (by weight)
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish. Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.
Substrate Temperature
+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
≤6 % parts by weight
The following test methods can be used: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Pot Life
Temperature | Time |
+10 °C | ~150 minutes |
+20 °C | ~120 minutes |
+30 °C | ~60 minutes |
Curing Time
Before overcoating Sikafloor®-2530 W allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10 °C | 48 hours | 7 days |
+20 °C | 20 hours | 5 days |
+30 °C | 10 hours | 3 days |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
~0,2–0,3 kg/m² applied as a roller coating
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc. For detailed information, refer to the System Data Sheets: Sikafloor® Multidur WS-11 and Sikafloor® Multidur WT-11
MIXING
Prior to mixing all parts, mix Part A (resin) using an electric single paddle mixer (300–400 rpm) to mix liquid and all the coloured pigment until a uniform colour has been achieved. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A and mix continuously for 2,0 minutes until a uniformly coloured mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into a clean container and mix again for at least 1,0 minute to achieve a smooth consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.
During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing. Mix full units only. Mixing time for A+B = 3,0 minutes.
APPLICATION
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in method statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity and dew point.
If > 6 % pbw moisture content, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a (temporary moisture barrier) T.M.B. system.
Primer
Pour mixed Sikafloor® primer onto the prepared substrate and apply by brush, roller or squeegee then back roller in two directions at right angles to each other. Ensure a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats.
Confirm waiting /overcoating time has been achieved before applying subsequent products. Refer to individual primer Product Data Sheet.
Seal / top coat
After waiting the appropriate overcoating time, pour the mixed Sikafloor®-2530 W onto prepared substrate and apply evenly using a nylon roller at the required consumption rate in two directions at right angles to each other. A seamless finish can be achieved if a ‘wet’ edge is maintained during application.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor®-2530 W must have all spillages removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned using rotary brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryer, high pressure washer, wash and vacuum techniques etc. using suitable detergents and waxes.
