SikaTop®-111 Plus

Component A: 24 months in original, unopened packaging
Component B: 12 months in original, unopened bag

Stored (unopened) in a dry place at temperatures between +5 – +32 °C (41 – 89 °F). For best results, condition product at +15 – +24 °C (59 – 75 °F) before using. Protect Component A from freezing. If frozen, discard.

Component A:B = 1:7 by weight depending on consistency required.

Approx. 30 min after mixing the mortar

Approx. 50 min to 1 h 15 min after placing the mortar

Approx. 13 L (0.459 ft³)

Mix mechanically using a heavy duty, low-speed drill (300 - 450 rpm) with a mixing paddle (ex.: Mud Mixer Type). Shake Component A before using, then pour approx. 4/5 Component A into mixing container. Add Component B while continuing to mix. Mix to a uniform consistency for a maximum of three (3) minutes. Add additional Component A to mix if a wetter consistency is desired. Should smaller quantities be needed, be sure that components are dosed in correct ratio and thoroughly premix component B before dosing. Ratio is A:B = 1:7 by weight approx. For application greater than 25 mm (1 in) in depth, add up to 17 kg (37.5 lb) of clean 10 mm (3/8 in) coarse aggregate. The aggregate must be nonreactive (reference ASTM C1260, C227, and C289), clean, well graded, saturated surface dry, have low absorption, high density and comply with ASTM C33, size number 8 per table 2. This will increase the yield to approx. 19.5 L (0.69 ft³). This mix will not self level.

Note: Do not use limestone aggregate.

At time of application, surfaces should be damp (saturated surface dry) with no glistening water. Some of the mixed mortar must be thoroughly scrubbed into the prepared surface to ensure satisfactory bond. Alternatively SikaTop® Armatec-110 EpoCem® can be used as a bonding agent. Apply mortar before bond coat dries, then screed. Allow mortar to reach initial set [50 to 75 minutes after placing at +23 °C (73 °F)], then finish with metal trowel for smooth surface or sponge float for rough texture. For extra smooth finish, wipe steel trowel with A component during finishing.

As per ACI 308 recommendations for cement concrete, curing is required. To achieve performance consistent with Technical Data, curing must be provided by recognized curing methods, such as wet burlap covered with white polyethylene film or approved water-based curing compound, such as Sika® Florseal WB-18 & -25. Alternatively, the use of Sika® Ultracure DOT^TM or NCF^TM wet curing blankets is strongly recommended. Curing must commence immediately after placing and finishing. Moist-curing must be maintained for the first 24 hours only. Protect freshly applied mortar from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost.

Clean all tools and equipment after use with water. Once hardened, the product can only be removed manually or mechanically.
