Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem®
ADVANCED GENERATION, MEDIUM-DUTY AND THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANT, SELF-LEVELLING POLYURETHANE/CEMENT SCREED
Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® is a state-of the-art, medium-duty, phthalate-free, water-dispersed polyurethane-based/cement and aggregate screed applicable at thicknesses ranging from 4.5 mm to 6 mm (3/16 in to 1/4 in). It is designed to provide good resistance to abrasion, impact, chemical attack and other physical aggression, including thermal shock, when applied at 6 mm (1/4 in). Selected aggregate can be broadcast onto the wet screed to produce a surface texture with improved traction. Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® represents superior polyurethane/cement technology, combining easier application, resistance to blistering, and improved performance.
- Can be applied onto 7 to 10 day old concrete after adequate preparation and where substrate has tensile bond strength in excess of 1.5 MPa (218 psi).
- Easy installation requiring less labour to install than traditional Sikafloor® PurCem® trowel-grade materials.
- Resists a very wide range of organic and inorganic acids, alkalis, amines, salts and solvents. Consult Sika Canada for full details. Refer to the Sikafloor® PurCem® Chemical Resistance Chart.
- Similar coefficient of thermal expansion to concrete allowing movement with the substrate through normal thermal cycling.
- Performs and retains its physical characteristics through a wide temperature range from -40 °C (-40 °F) up to 120 °C (248 °F).
- Superior formulation eliminates formation of blisters, such as those arising out of application during elevated temperatures or early and multiple layer applications.
- Steam cleanable at 6 mm (1/4 in) thickness. Can also be easily maintained using commonly employed methods and phenol-free detergents.
- Bond strength in excess of the tensile strength of concrete, concrete will fail first.
- Non-taint, odourless and phthalate-free, avoiding associated toxicity to health and environmental hazards.
- Behaves plastically under impact; deforms but will not crack or debond.
- Extra expansion joints are not necessary; simply maintain and extend existing expansion joints up through the Sikafloor® PurCem® Flooring System.
- Achieves highest performance ratings according to ASTM G21 resistance to fungi and ASTM D3273 resistance to mold growth.
Usage
- Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® floors are primarily used to protect concrete substrates, but are equally effective over most steel surfaces that have been properly prepared and supported.
- Food processing plants, wet & dry process areas, freezers & coolers, thermal shock areas, commercial kitchens, dairies, breweries, wineries, distilleries, laboratories, chemical process plants, pulp and paper plants, warehouses and storage areas.

Application
Mixing Ratio
Components A: B: C = A x 2 : B x 2 : C x 1 (per mix).
Product Temperature
Condition product between 18 °C to 24 °C (65 °F to 75 °F) before use.
Mixing and application attempted at material, ambient and/or substrate temperature conditions less than 18 °C (65 °F) will result in a decrease in product workabitity and slower cure rates.
Ambient Air Temperature
Minimum 7 °C (45 °F) / Maximum 38 °C (100 °F)
Relative Air Humidity
Maximum 85% (during application and curing)
Dew Point
Substrate must be at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the Dew Point to reduce the risk of condensation, which may lead to adhesion failure or "blushing" on the floor finish. Be aware that the substrate temperature may be lower than the ambient temperature.
Substrate Temperature
Minimum 7 °C (45 °F) / Maximum 38 °C (100 °F)
Do not apply while ambient and substrate temperatures are rising, as pinholes may occur. Ensure there is no vapour drive at the time of application. Refer to ASTM D4263, may be used for a visual indication of vapour drive.
Substrate Moisture Content
Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® can be applied on substrates with higher moisture content. Check for rising moisture. The substrate must be visably dry with no ponding water and must have a minimum pull-off strenght of 1.5 MPa (218 psi).
IMPORTANT: Early application on green or young concrete before drying shrinkage has stabalized may result in reflective cracks on the finished Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® surface post application.
Pot Life
~25 minutes
Curing Time
| Foot traffic | ~18 hours |
| Light traffic | ~24 hours |
| Normal traffic (full cure) | ~5 days |
Curing times will vary according to air and substrate temperature and relative humidity.
Protect from dampness, condensation from pipes or any overhead leaks and water contact during the initial 24 hour cure period.
Mechanical, chemical and physical properties will be fully achieved at full cure.

Actual coverage rates and material consumption will depend upon porosity and profile of substrates. Allowance must be also made for variation in film thickness or number of coats required to achieve complete coverage of surfaces. Test sections are recommended to establish correct coverage.
MIXING
Mix Ratio: Components A:B:C (A x 2 : B x 2 : C x 1)
Do not hand mix Sikafloor® PurCem® materials; mechanically mix only. Mixing will be affected by temperature; condition materials for use to 18 °C to 24°C (65 °F to 75°F) for at least 24 hours before use. On no account should this product be thinned. Addition of thinners (eg. water or solvent) will retard the cure, reduce the ultimate properties of this product and void any applicable Sika warranty.
A Ted Baugh type mixer, incorporating a motor spun mixing pail and a shear angle mixing blade, is recommended. Pre-agitate Components A and B separately, making sure all solids, including pigments, are uniformly distributed. Start mixer; add Component A and Component B, blending for 30 seconds. Add Component C (powder) pouring slowly over a period of 20 seconds. DO NOT DUMP POWDER INTO RESIN, ADD GRADUALLY. Allow Component C to further blend for 2-1/2 more minutes after all of the powder is emptied into the resin to ensure all powder is wetted out and a completely uniform mix is achieved. During the mixing operation, and observing good safety practices, ie turning off and removing revolving parts, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete blending of Components A + B + C. Do not attempt to attend to unmixed material that may gather on the sides of the mixing container while mechanical or electrical parts are in motion.
Cool Substrates: Application attempted at material, ambient and substrate temperatures below 18 °C (65 °F) will result in a decrease in product workability and slower cure rates. Improved flowability on cool substrates can be achieved by removing a maximum of 3 kg (6.6 lb) of Component C (powder) per mix.
APPLICATION
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.).
Priming
Priming of concrete substrates is not usually required under typical circumstances. However, due to variations in concrete quality, surface conditions, surface preparation and ambient conditions, reference test areas are recommended to determine whether priming is required to prevent the possibility of blisters, debonding, pinholes and other aesthetic variations.
Solid Color Broadcast Surfacing
Broadcast Body Coat
Pour mortar onto surface and spread to appropriate thickness using a notched squeegee, trowel or screed bar. Take care to spread newly mixed materials across the transition of previous applied mixes before the surface begins to set. Immediately spike roll the surface to release trapped air in the matrix. Sikafloor®-22 NA PurCem® requires selected mineral aggregates (selected for texture) to be broadcast on to the wet surface to rejection. Ensure complete aggregate coverage to all areas to avoid bald spots.
Top Coat
Once the broadcasted body coat has sufficiently cured to allow foot traffic, sweep-up and vacuum the loose unbonded sand. Apply a top coat of Sikafloor®-31 NA PurCem® or Sikafloor®-33 NA PurCem® to lock in the aggregate, using a squeegee, followed by backrolling to provide a uniform texture and finish. This application method requires a minimum 24 hours cure period at 20 °C (68 °F) before foot traffic, see Sikafloor®-31 NA PurCem® Product Data Sheet.
Multi-Colour Broadcast Surfacing (SLQ)
Broadcast Body Coat
Pour mortar onto surface and spread to appropriate thickness using a notched squeegee, trowel or screed bar. Take care to spread newly mixed materials across the transition of previous applied mixes before the surface begins to set. Immediately spike roll the surface to release trapped air in the matrix. Broadcast Sikafloor® Broadcast Quartz Aggregate on to the wet surface to rejection. Ensure complete aggregate coverage to all areas to avoid bald spots.
Top Coat
Once the broadcasted body coat has sufficiently cured to allow foot traffic, sweep-up and vacuum the loose unbonded sand. Apply a top coat of Sikafloor®-510N LPL Clear to lock in the aggregate, using a squeegee, followed by back rolling to provide a uniform texture and finish. This application method requires a minimum 8 hours cure period at 20 °C (68 °F) before light traffic, see Sikafloor®-510N LPL Product Data Sheet.
Important: Application attempted at material, ambient and substrate temperatures below 18 °C (65 °F) will result in a decrease in product workability and slower cure rates.
CLEAN UP
