A:B =2:1 by volume

Condition product between 18 °C to 24 °C (65 °F to 75 °F)

Minimum 10 °C (50 °F)   Maximum 30 °C (86 °F).

Maximum 85% (during application and curing)

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.

Minimum 10 °C (50 °F)   Maximum 30 °C (86 °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.

Moisture content of concrete substrate must be < 4 % (pbw – part by weight) as measured with a Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter on mechanically-prepared surface according to this product data sheet (preparation to ICRI / CSP 3 - 4).  If moisture content of concrete substrate exceeds 4 % (pbw – part by weight) as measured with Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter, use Sikafloor®-1610 or Sikafloor®-81 EpoCem®CA or Sikafloor® 22NA or 24 NA PurCem®.

When relative humidity tests for concrete substrate are conducted per ASTM F2170 for project specific requirements, values must be ≤ 85 %. If values exceed 85 % according to ASTM F2170, use Sikafloor®-1610 or Sikafloor®-81 EpoCem®CA or Sikafloor® 22NA or 24 NA PurCem®.  ASTM F2170 testing is not a substitute for measuring substrate moisture content with a Tramex® CME/CMExpert type concrete moisture meter as described above.

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.

Curing times will vary according to air and substrate temperatures and relative humidity. 

Freshly applied material should be protected from dampness, condensation and water for at least 72 hours.

Mechanical, chemical and physical properties will be fully achieved at full cure.

2 m²/L to 4 m²/L (80 ft² / US gal. to 160 ft² / US gal. ( 10- 20 mil w.f.t.)
Note: 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.

Mix Ratio: A:B = 2:1 by volume

Do not hand mix Sikafloor® materials. Mechanically mix only.
Pre-stir Components A and B separately, making sure all solids, 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. 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.  When completely mixed, Sikafloor®-2002 should be uniform in colour and consistency.

Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.

Apply Sikafloor®-2002 using a non-marking squeegee or flexible steel trowel, followed by backrolling to provide a uniform texture and appearance. Over-rolling and or late back rolling may cause bubbling and leave roller marks. A second top coat application or a thicker initial application maybe required to achieve a specific texture or desired final appearance.  Sika Canada strongly recommends that a test area be applied to confirm specific top coat selection and application rates required to produce the desired final appearance.

Note: If the Waiting/ Recoat time has passed (refer to Technical Data section) the previous coat must be lightly sanded, to remove all gloss; vacuum cleaning and solvent wiping will be necessary to remove all traces of dust. The surface should be a uniform dullness, with no gloss present after clean-up and before applying the next coat.

Clean all tools and equipment immediately with Sika® Epoxy Cleaner. Once cured, product can only be removed mechanically.
