Sikafloor® Level-30 SA
Sikafloor® Level-30 SA is a polymer modified, pumpable, self levelling fast drying cementitious screed for higher thickness interior or exterior floors. Suitable for use in hot an tropical climatic conditions.
- Self smoothing and highly fluid
- Easy to place by pump or manual application
- Ready for use
- Low shrinkage
- Maintains good workability and joint healing
- Fast setting and drying
- 3 - 4 hours walk on time (+35 °C)
- Good surface appearance and hardness
- Casein and Formaldehyde free
- Suitable for use with under floor heating systems
Usage
- Sikafloor® Level-30 SA is an floor self levelling screed to level or smooth screeds and concrete floors at a thickness between 4 to 30 millimetre in one working step.
- Sikafloor® Level-30 SA is useable as screed for industrial service conditions when sealed with a PU or EP resin top coat from medium to high load (heavy traffic and forklift pallet truck with impact load).
- Under interior low load service conditions the Sikafloor® Level-30 SA can be used without a topcoat.
- Sikafloor® Level-30 SA is also suitable for filling, smoothing and levelling of suitable substrates before applying parquet, ceramic tiles, seamless resinfloors, textile, elastic floor coverings.
- Sikafloor® Level-30 SA is useable as screed for exterior areas when sealed with an waterproofing layer.

Application
Mixing Ratio
5 to 5.25 L water for 25 kg bag
Fresh Mortar Density
~2.0 kg/l
Layer Thickness
4 - 30 mm (in one single layer)
Ambient Air Temperature
+8 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
< 75 %
Substrate Temperature
+8 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Pot Life
| Temperature and Relative Air Humidity | Time |
| +35 °C / 50 % | ~30 min |
The temperature will affect the pot life.
Application at temperatures above +35 °C will reduce the pot life and the working time. Temperatures below +35 °C will increase the pot life and extend the working time.
Waiting Time / Overcoating
Suitable for overcoating with impermeable or moisture sensitive coatings after:
- Layer thickness up to 15 millimetre: 24 hours*
- Layer thickness up to 30 millimetre: 48 hours*
Suitable to be covered with ceramic covering after approximately 24 hours.
It is recommended to overcoat Sikafloor® Level-30 SA within 7 days.
* Times are approximate.
When overcoating Sikafloor® Level-30 SA always ensure the moisture content has achieved the required value for the coating product, as the waiting time will vary with the application thickness and ambient humidity (Refer to the Coating Product Data Sheet).
Applied Product Ready for Use
At +35 °C and 50 % r.h.
Foot traffic | ~3 h |
Lightly serviceable | ~24 h |
Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing substrate and ambient conditions, particularly the temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
~2.0 kg/m2/mm
This figure is theoretical and does not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc..
MIXING
Add cold water according to the desired consistency into a clean mixing vessel before slowly adding the Sikafloor® Level-30 SA powder. Sikafloor® Level-30 SA should be mixed by using low speed electric mixer (approximate 300 to 400 rpm), recommended is the use of a double disc stirring paddle or spiral mix paddle for 3 minutes or until the mix is free of lumps.
After mixing leave the material to stand in the container for approximately 2 minutes until majority of air bubbles have dispersed.
In case of higher water temperature, the water could be cooled down by using clean ice.
Note: Do not mix Sikafloor® Level-30 SA with cement or other cementitious product. Do not add extra water or other ingredients. Mix only full bags for best results.
APPLICATION
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. Best application time would be during falling temperatures.
