Consumption

Consumption

As a general guide:

~1.8 kg/m²/mm applied as a self-smoothing wearing course.

For additional and more detailed information please refer to General Method Statement.
Always prime the surface before application of self-smoothing layer.
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.

A 46 kg unit of Sikafloor®-1230 will yield ~25.7 L of mixed material.

Sikafloor®-1230 components are supplied in preweighed packs which should not be split or divided. Always mix a full kit.
Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

EQUIPMENT

  • Vacuum recovery shot blasting machine
  • Masking tape / polythene sheets
  • Heaters for cold weather work
  • Trowels
  • Slow speed drill with suitable paddle
  • Brushes or short nap hair rollers
  • Industrial vacuum
  • Scarifier (Errut / Von Arx)
  • Grinder
  • Overalls
  • Lighting
  • Spiked roller
  • Spiked shoes
  • Pin screed

MIXING

Note: Before mixing and application, store Sikafloor®-1230 under cover in an air-conditioned environment and protect it from temperature extremes. Improper storage may affect workability, finish and curing.

  • Pour the colour pack into the base (Part A).
  • Mix at 300–600 rpm using a slow-speed handheld mixer with a suitable paddle (e.g. Collomix DLX) for at least 1 minute.
  • Transfer the mixture into a clean mixing bucket (minimum 30 L).
  • Add the Sikafloor®-1230 filler (Part C) while mixing until a uniform, streak-free colour is achieved (minimum 2 minutes), then remix the blend (Part A + colour pack + Part C) for additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the reactor (Part B) and continue mixing until a fully uniform, streak-free colour with no visible filler lumps is obtained.

Always maintain consistent mixing times across all batches to ensure uniform colour during application.

APPLICATION

Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity and dew point. If > 4 % pbw moisture content, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a T.M.B. (temporary moisture barrier) system.

 

 

Mixed Sikafloor®-1230 is poured and spreaded evenly by means of a serrated trowel or pin rake.
After spreading the material evenly, turn the serrated trowel and smooth the surface in order to achieve an aesthetically higher grade of finish.
Roll immediately (before material begins to gel) in two directions with a spiked roller to ensure even thickness.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

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.
