Before applying second coat of Sikafloor®-1610 allow:

Before applying Sikafloor^® Sikagard^® or Sikalastic^® products onto Sikafloor®-1610 allow:

4−5 m²/L (160−203 ft²/US gal.) at 8−10 mil w.f.t. per coat

Mix Ratio: Components A:B = 2:1 (by volume)

For part mixing, i.e. when not mixing full units, each component must be pre-agitated separately to ensure product uniformity.

Pre-stir Components A and B separately, making sure all solids, including trace dye, are evenly distributed and uniform consistencies are achieved within each individual Component. Empty Component B (Hardener) in the correct mix ratio into Component A (Resin) or empty Component A into a suitably sized and clean pail and add Component B in the correct ratio. Blend the combined components thoroughly at low speed (300 - 450 rpm) for at least three (3) minutes using a drill fitted with an Exomixer^® or Jiffy type paddle suited to the dimensions of the mixing container and keep the mixing paddle in the mix to minimize entrapped air. Take care not to introduce any air bubbles while mixing. Make sure the contents are completely mixed to avoid any weak or partially cured spots in the coating. During the mixing operation, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing. 

Note: Do not try to attend to unmixed material that may gather on the sides of the mixing container while mechanical or electrical parts are in motion  When completely mixed, Sikafloor® 1610 should be uniform in appearance and consistency. 

Important: Mixing attempted at material and ambient temperatures below 18 °C (65 °F) will result in a decrease in product workability. Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.

Prior to application, measure and confirm substrate moisture content, ambient relative humidity, ambient and surface temperature and dew point. During installation, confirm and record above values at least once every three (3) hours, or more frequently whenever conditions change (e.g. ambient temperature rise/fall, relative humidity increase/decrease, etc.). Moisture content of concrete substrate must not exceed 6 % by mass (pbw – part by weight) as measured with a Tramex^® CME/CMExpert concrete moisture meter on the mechanically-prepared surface (see Surface Preparation).

Concrete with Measured Moisture Content < 5 %
Apply one (1) coat of Sikafloor®-1610 with a squeegee at the rate of 4−5 m²/L (160−203 ft²/US gal.) at 8−10 mil wet film thickness and back roll with pressure after 20 minutes. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and profile of the prepared substrate. Do not apply by dipping roller into mixing container or a paint tray; instead pour a bead of the mixed material, in the form of a ribbon, onto the surface to be coated and then spread with a squeegee and back roll. Ensure that the prime coat is pore- and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate.

Concrete with Measured Moisture Content ≥ 5 % - < 6 %
Apply two (2) coats of Sikafloor®-1610 with a squeegee at the rate of 4−5 m²/L (160−203 ft²/US gal.) at 8−10 mil wet film thickness per coat, back rolling both with pressure after 20 minutes. The waiting time between coats will depend upon temperatures but the first coat must be tack-free before the second one is applied, which is typically after 12 hours at 20 °C (68 °F). Do not apply by dipping roller into mixing container or a paint tray; instead pour a bead of the mixed material, in the form of a ribbon, onto the surface to be coated and then spread by squeegee and back roll. Ensure that the second coat is pore- and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate.

Concrete with a Measured Moisture Content > 6 %

Apply a minimum 3 mm thick layer of Sikafloor^®-81 EpoCem^®CA following the application instructions published on the product data sheet. Once cured, apply one (1) or two (2) coats of Sikafloor®-1610 with a squeegee at the rate of 4−5 m²/L (160−203 ft²/US gal.) at 8−10 mil wet film thickness per coat, back rolling both with pressure after 20 minutes. The waiting time between coats will depend upon temperatures but the first coat must be tack-free before the second is applied, which is typically after 12 hours at 20 °C (68 °F). Do not apply by dipping roller into mixing container or a paint tray; instead pour a bead of the mixed material, in the form of a ribbon, onto the surface to be coated and then spread with a squeegee and back roll. Ensure that the second coat is pore- and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate.

Clean all tools and equipment immediately with Sika^® Epoxy Cleaner. Once cured, product can only be removed mechanically. Dispose of product in accordance with current applicable local, provincial and federal regulations.
