Clear: A:B = 3:2  by volume.

Precondition material for at least 24 hours between 18 to 24 °C (65 to 75 °F)

Min. 10 °C (50 °F)  Max. 30 °C (85°F)

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 workability and slower cure rates.

Min. 30 %  Max. 75 % (during application and curing)
Note: Low Relative Ambient Air Humidity may result in slower cure.

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. 

Min. 4 °C (40 °F)  Max. 30 °C (86 °F)

Moisture content of concrete substrate must be ≤4 % by mass (pbw – part by weight) as measured with a Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter. 

Before applying second coat of Sikafloor®-510 N LPL allow:

Smooth Finish Coating:
Prime coat: 3.9-4.9 m²/L (160-200 ft²/US gal.) at 0.20-0.25 mm (8-10 mil) wet film thickness (w.f.t.)
Wear coat: 2.6-3.3 m²/L (105-135 ft²/US gal.) at 0.30-0.38 mm (12-15 mil) wet film thickness (w.f.t.)
Thinning Solvent - If required, use Sika^® Urethane Thinner and Cleaner - maximum 5 % by volume 50 ml/L - (6.4 oz/US gal.)

Contact Sika Canada for additional information.

Mixing Ratio - A:B = 3:2 by volume.

For bulk packaging, when not mixing full units, each component must be pre-mixed seperately to ensure product uniformity.

Mixing: Do not hand mix Sikafloor^® materials. Mechanically mix only. Mix only that quanitity which can be used within its pot life at actual field temperature.

Clear Resin

Premix each Component separately. Empty Component B (Hardener) in the correct mix ratio into Component A (Resin). Mix the combined components 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 volume of the mixing container to minimize air entrapment. Be careful 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.

Field Pigmented

Premix each Component separately. If color is desired, Sikafloor® SCO Color Additive is added to Component A at a rate of 0.95 L (1 quart) per 7.57 L (2 US gal.) of Part A and 5.03 L (1.33 US gal.) of Part B for all colours. Combine and mix at low speed (300 - 450 rpm) Component A and Sikafloor® SCO Color Additive for three (3) minutes, or until a uniform color is achieved, with a drill fitted with an Exomixer® or Jiffy type paddle suited to the volume. Empty component B (Hardener) in the correct mix ratio to Component A (Resin) and mix for additional two (2) minutes. Be careful 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: Sikafloor® SCO Colour Additive will shorten the working time of Sikafloor®-510 N LPL by approximately five (5) minutes at 20 °C (68 °F). 

As a pigmented topcoat/sealer coat for smooth or broadcast finish: Squeegee and back roll Sikafloor®-510 N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 0.25 - 0.38 mm (10 - 15 mil), at a rate of 2.6 - 3.9 m²/L (107 - 160 ft²/US gal). If required, repeat this procedure for a second coat.

As a clear topcoat for a broadcast quartz or flake system: Apply using a squeegee and back roll Sikafloor®-510 N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 0.25 - 0.38 mm (10 - 15 mil), at a rate of 2.6 - 3.9 m²/L (107 - 160 ft²/US gal.). If required, repeat this procedure for a second coat.

   
As a stand-alone double broadcast quick cure decorative quartz and flake system:
 

Step 1: Primer - Apply neat coat of Sikafloor®-510 N LPL on a prepared substrate as a primer using a squeegee and roller without ponding at 0.12 - 0.25 mm (5 - 10 mil), at a rate of 3.9 - 7.8 m²/L (160 - 320 ft²/US gal.).
Note: When using Sikafloor®-510 N LPL as a primer, extra precaution has to be taken with regard to substrate preparation and moisture content, see product limitations for further details.

   
Step 2: First Broadcast Application - Apply using a squeegee and back roll Sikafloor®-510 N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 0.25 - 0.38 mm (10 - 15 mil), at a rate of 2.6 - 3.9 m²/L (107 - 160 ft²/US gal.). Broadcast pre-blended decorative flakes or coloured quartz aggregates into the binder to saturation. Broadcast in a manner so that the flakes or coloured quartz aggregates fall vertically into the binder. Broadcast to rejection. Ensure that broadcast flakes/aggregates cover entire surface. Allow broadcast system to cure sufficiently to be able to resist foot traffic without damaging the surface. Remove excess flakes/aggregates from the surface by sweeping up and vacuuming, until surface is free of all loose particles and dust.

   
Step 3: Second Broadcast Application - Apply using a squeegee and back roll Sikafloor®-510 N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness of 0.25 - 0.38 mm (10 - 15 mil), at a rate of 2.6 - 3.9 m²/L (107 - 160 ft²/US gal.). Broadcast pre-blended decorative flakes or coloured quartz aggregates into the binder to saturation. Broadcast in a manner so that aggregates fall vertically into the binder. Broadcast to rejection. Ensure that broadcast flakes/aggregates cover entire surface. Allow broadcast system to cure sufficiently to be able to resist foot traffic without damaging the surface. Remove excess flakes/aggregates from the surface by sweeping up and vacuuming, until surface is free of all loose particles and dust.

Step 4: Finish Coat - Apply using a squeegee and back roll Sikafloor®-510 N LPL to provide a uniform coverage without ponding at a thickness 0.25 - 0.38 mm (10 - 15 mil), at a rate of 2.6 - 3.9 m²/L (107 - 160 ft²/US gal.). When required, repeat this procedure for a second coat.

Critical Recoat/Overcoat Time

It is important to apply subsequent coats of this and other products within 6 to 24 hours (under normal curing conditions). If this coating is allowed to cure longer than the 24 hours before subsequent recoats, light sanding, vacuum cleaning and solvent wiping will be necessary. The floor surface should be sanded/abraded to the effect that a uniform dullness is achieved. There should be no gloss present on the floor after vacuuming and before applying the next coat.

Uncured material can be removed with Sika^® Urethane Thinner and Cleaner. Cured materials (Component A combined with Component B) can only be removed mechanically.
