Sikafloor®-1210

Epoxy resin, selected fillers and pigments

12 months from date of production

The product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C.

~1.56 kg/l (mixed, at 25°C)

~100 %

Note: Total solid epoxy composition acc. to the test method Deutsche Bauchemie e.V. (German Association for construction chemicals)

Note: No simultaneous chemical and mechanical exposure.

Sikafloor®-1210 provides impermeable protection against common oils, greases, lubricants, aviation fuels or oils such as Skydrol.

In addition, it offers good general chemical resistance, but as in all corrosive situations, a full analysis of operating and exposure conditions is required, followed by reference to chemical resistance data to ensure product suitability.

Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3°C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Note: Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.

~1.6 kg/m²/mm
For additional information please refer to General Method Statement.
This figure is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.

A 32 kg unit of Sikafloor®-1210 will yield ~20.6 L of mixed material.
Sikafloor®-1210 components are supplied in preweighed packs which should not be split or divided. Always mix a full kit.

The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm²) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm².

The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.
Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using light grit blasting, captive blasting or surface grinding to achieve an open textured, flat surface.
Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blow holes and voids must be fully exposed.
Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface irregularities must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and SikaEmaco® range of materials.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush or vacuum.
The preferred method for surface preparation of concrete is captive blasting, which gives a well prepared laitance free, vacuum cleaned surface.

The surface over which the Sikafloor®-1210 is to be laid must be flat.

Note: Prior to mixing and application, Sikafloor®-1210 should be stored under cover in an air-conditioned environment and protected from extremes of temperature which may cause inconsistent workability, finish and cure times for the mixed material.

Pour the contents of the colour pack into the base (Part A) and then mix the components together using a slow speed (300 – 600 rpm) hand held mixer fitted with a suitable mixing paddle; Collomix DLX mixing head or similar. Mix for no less than 1 minute, before pouring this into a clean large size mixing bucket (>20 L) and then adding the Sikafloor®-1210 filler (Part C), whilst continuing to mix until a uniform colour is obtained, free of streaks or lumps of unmixed filler (minimum 2 minutes). Remix the pre-mixed base (Part A) + colour pack + filler (Part C) for 30 seconds and then add the reactor (Part B) and continue to mix until a streak free even colour is reached and there are no visible lumps of filler (Part C), etc. Always keep the mixing time the same for all batches, to ensure a uniform colour when the product is applied.

Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity and dew point. If moisture content is > 5 % pbw, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a T.M.B. (temporary moisture barrier) system.
Primer:
Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats. Apply primer by brush, roller or squeegee. Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then backrolling crosswise.
Smooth wearing course:

Sikafloor®-1210 can be applied using notched or plain trowels, pin screeds, squeegees or airless spray.

The coating should be rolled with a spike roller as soon as possible after application to achieve a uniform finish. The applied coating should be rolled a second time after 15-20 minutes. Continuous rolling does not harm the product while it is still fluid.

Always wear spiked shoes when rolling the Sikafloor®-1210 with a spiked roller.

Clean all tools and application equipment with suitable thinner (Xylene / MEK / Acetone), immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
