The concrete surface must be clean and sound. Remove any dust, laitance, grease, oil, dirt, curing agents, impregnations, wax, foreign matters, coatings and disintegrated material from surface.

Stir well prior to use, ensuring thorough agitation and distribution of any settled material throughout the liquid.  Where necessary, use a paint straining mesh or fabric to collect any material which has formed a surface skin; the presence of which is a consequence of reaction during packaging and is not representative of any reduction in product quality. 

Apply directly from container, one undiluted uniform coat at the rate of 4 m²/L to 6 m²/L (163 - 244 ft²/US gal.), depending on porosity of concrete.  To ensure maximum penetration, scrub material into the surface with a stiff-bristle broom or janitorial floorscrubbing machine within 30 minutes of initial application and before the product begins to gel or become slippery. Once the product begins to gel, wet material lightly with a water spray and rework it into the surface.  After this process, rinse the floor and remove any excess material with a squeegee and wet vacuum.  This final step is important, because residue is more difficult to remove if it is allowed to dry. This residue solution is non-toxic and can be emptied into a sanitary sewer.

Normally, one (1) coat is sufficient, however, on porous rough-textured, or broom-finished surfaces, a second application may be required. The second application can be installed 2 hours to 4 hours following the first and is recommended to insure maximum densification and positive protection from contaminant penetration. Floors are immediately available for occupancy and traffic after 4 hours to 6 hours following removal of excessive residue.

Immediately wash off over-spray from glass, aluminium, or highly polished surfaces with water to avoid etching of surfaces. Flush equipment with water to clean. Do not allow Sikafloor®-3S to dry before flushing excess from surfaces.
