MIXING
Mechanically mix in an appropriately sized mortar mixer. Wet down all tools and mixer to be used. Start with 2.6 L (0.7 US gal.) of clean potable water added to the mixing vessel. Add one bag of SikaQuick®-1000 while continuing to mix. Add up to another 270 mL (9.0 US fl. oz) of additional water to achieve desired consistency. For application exceeding 25 mm (1 in) in depth, add 11 kg (24 lb) of 10 mm (3/8 in) coarse aggregate.The aggregate must be non-reactive (as per 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. Note: Do not overwater the mix. This may cause excessive bleeding and retardation and will reduce the strength and performance of the material.
APPLICATION
A scrub coat should be applied prior to placement of mortar. Apply a 3 mm (1/8 in) thick scrub coat of SikaQuick®-1000 into the substrate, filling all pores, voids and edges. Onto the fresh scrub coat, force the mortar against the edge of the repair area or onto the resurfacing site, working towards the centre and observing minimum and maximum layer thicknesses. After filling the repair, screed off excess. Allow concrete to set to desired stiffness, then finish the surface. If a smoother finish is desired, use a magnesium float. Mixing, placing and finishing should not exceed 30 minutes maximum. To control setting times, cold water should be used in hot weather and hot water in cold weather.
CURING TREATMENT
Protect newly applied material from rain for at least four (4) hours. To prevent from freezing, cover with insulating material. If necessary, cure using Sika® Florseal® WB-18 & -25, which meets ASTM C309 requirements. Note: Do not moist/wet cure.
CLEAN UP
Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with water. Once hardened, material can only be removed manually or mechanically.
FAQ
As with all cement-based materials avoid contact with aluminum to prevent adverse reaction and possible product failure. Insulate potential areas of contact by coating aluminum bars, rails, posts, etc. with an appropriate epoxy such as Sikadur®-32 HiMod.
Protect newly applied material from rain for at least four (4) hours. To prevent from freezing, cover with insulating material. If necessary, cure using Sika® Florseal® WB-18 & -25, which meets ASTM C309 requirements.
Note: Do not moist/wet cure. It is also important to protect stored material from exposure to rain, condensation and high humidity as moisture may penetrate packaging, causing lumps.
A scrub coat should be applied prior to placement of mortar. Apply a 3 mm (1/8 in) thick scrub coat of SikaQuick®-1000 into the substrate, filling all pores, voids, and edges. Onto the fresh scrub coat, force the mortar against the edge of the repair area or onto the resurfacing site, working towards the centre and observing minimum and maximum layer thicknesses. After filling the repair, screed off excess. Allow concrete to set to desired stiffness, then finish the surface. If a smoother finish is desired, use a magnesium float. Mixing, placing, and finishing should not exceed 30 minutes maximum.
Prime the prepared surface by spreading a thin brushed or rubbed adhesion layer of SikaQuick-1000® before applying the mortar. The repair mortar must be applied before the adhesion layer dries.
Steel reinforcement should be thoroughly prepared by mechanical cleaning to remove all traces of rust. Where corrosion has occurred due to the presence of chlorides, the steel should be high pressure washed with clean water after mechanical cleaning. Prime reinforcement steel using SikaTop® Armatec-110 EpoCem® (Consult Product Data Sheet).
Saturate the surface to be repaired with clean water. The substrate must be saturated with water, but superficially dry (SSS) and without standing water before proceeding with application.
Remove all deteriorated concrete, dirt, oil, grease or any contaminants or conditions that may affect adhesion or overall product performances. Be sure repair area is not less than 6 mm (1/4 in) in depth. Following ICRI Guideline 310.2, the concrete surface must be clean, sound and mechanically prepared to obtain a surface profile of CSP 6 – 10 (ex : hydrodemolition, scarification, scabbling + sandblasting, etc.) Follow ICRI Guideline 310.1 for the preparation of the repair perimeter, repair area geometry and for the cleaning of concrete and reinforcing steel surfaces. Verify the absence of micro cracking following ICRI Guideline 310.2. To ensure optimum repair results, the effectiveness of cleaning and preparation should be assessed by a pull-off test. Saw-cutting the edges is recommended.
Initial Set Time is approximately 30 - 50 min, while the Final Set Time is approximately 50 - 100 minutes. To control setting times, cold water should be used in hot weather and hot water in cold weather.

Not compatible with normal-setting bonding agents, e.g., SikaTop® Armatec-110 EpoCem® and Sikadur®-32 Hi-Mod.
Approximately 13 L (0.459 ft3). When extended with 11 kg (24 lb) of 10 mm (3/8 in) aggregate, yield is approximately 17 L (0.6 ft3).
For best results, condition product to +18 °C to +29 °C (65 °F to 84 °F) prior to mixing and installation. Lower temperatures may result in slower strength development and longer cure times. Minimum ambient and surface temperatures: +7 °C (44 °F) and rising.
