Sikafloor®-100 Level AE

Cementitious, Self-levelling Underlayment

Sikafloor®-100 Level AE is a one part, polymer modified, pumpable, self-levelling, fast hardening cementitious underlayment for the levelling and smoothening of interior floors prior to the application of the final floor finish. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climate conditions.

  • Fast application because of the good flow and cohesion of the fresh product
  • Easy to place by pump or manual application
  • Low tension
  • Good bond and compaction
  • Fast hardening and quick drying

Usage

Sikafloor®-100 Level AE can be applied manually or by pump to level floors at a thickness between 2 and 10 millimeter, prior to the subsequent finishing with ceramic or stone tiles, linoleum, PVC sheet, wood flooring or carpets etc.
  • Levelling of both large and small surfaces
  • Typical uses are in commercial, residential and domestic properties etc.
  Sikafloor®-100 Level AE is particularly suitable for the subsequent application of floor coverings using products from the Sikabond® elastic bonding range, tiling mortars from the SikaCeram® range or Sikafloor range under foot traffic.

Application steps

MIXING

Add cold water according to the desired consistency into a clean mixing vessel before slowly adding the Sikafloor®-100 Level AE powder. Sikafloor®-100 Level AE should be mixed by using low speed electric mixer (approximate 300 to 400 rpm) for 3 minutes or until the mix is free of lumps. After a short maturing time, mix again thoroughly. In case of higher water temperature, the water could be cooled down by using clean ice.

Note: Do not mix Sikafloor®-100 Level AE with cement or other cementitious product. Do not add extra water or other ingredients. Mix only full bags for best results.

APPLICATION

Manual:

Pour the mixed material onto the primed surface and apply by trowel or pin screed rake to the required thickness. Roll thoroughly with a spiked roller in two directions to remove any entrapped air.

Pump application:

Please contact Sika Technical Department for further information

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
