The product must be stored properly in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging, in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Protect from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.

All Density values at +23°C.

Resistant to many chemicals. Contact Sika technical service for specific information.

Short-term moist/wet heat* up to +80 °C where exposure is only occasional (steam cleaning etc.).

*No simultaneous chemical and mechanical exposure and only in combination with Sikafloor® systems as a broadcast system with approx. 3 - 4 mm thickness.

Part A : part B = 75 : 25 (by weight)

+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.

80 % r.h. max.

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.

+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.

< 4 % pbw moisture content.

Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method.

No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).

Before overcoating Sikafloor®-169 allow:

Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions.

~0.15 kg/m² applied as a top coat

~0.7-2 kg/m² applied as a  wearing course

These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc. For detailed info, please refer to the System data sheet Sikafloor® Decodur ES-22 granite, Sikafloor® Decodur ES-26 flake, Sikafloor® Decodur EB-26 Quartz  and Sikafloor® Decodur EM-21 Compact.

Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.
When using an additional C component like the Sikafloor®-CompactFiller or the Sikafloor®-DecoFiller, please add the C component after Parts A and B have been mixed, in the correct mixing ratio (Slurry Sika-CompactFloor; 1 part resin: 1 part Sikafloor®-CompactFiller; Wearing course Sika-DecoFloor; 1 part resin: 1,5 part Sikafloor®-DecoFiller) and mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
For mortars add the premixed Sikafloor®-169 to the aggregates and mix until a uniform mix has been achieved.

Mixing Tools: 

Sikafloor®-169 must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer
(300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
For the preparation of mortars use a forced action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Free fall mixers must not be used.

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