Filled resin (please refer to section "Consumption"):

Min. 1 mm

Max. 6 mm

+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®-263 SL allow:

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

~1.6 - 2.0 kg/m²/mm (depending on filling grade) applied as a self-smoothing wearing course, as follows:

Note: Sikadur®-504 - quartz sand filler - size 0.08 - 0.20 mm

Note: Sikadur®-513 - quartz sand filler - size 0.00 - 0.85 mm

Note: For additional and more detailed information please refer to General Method Statement.

Note: Always prime the surface before application of self-smoothing layer.

Note: These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.

Mixing Tools

Sikafloor®-263 SL must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment. For the preparation of epoxy mortars use a forced action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Free fall mixers should not be used.

Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. When parts A and B have been mixed, add the quartz sand and if required the Extender T and mix for a further 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.

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.

 
Primer:
Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats. Apply Sikafloor®-151 /-161 /-161 G by brush, roller or squeegee. Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then backrolling crosswise.

 
Levelling:
Rough surfaces need to be levelled first. Therefore, use e.g. Sikafloor®-151 /-161 /-161 G levelling mortar (see Product Data Sheet).

Wearing course smooth:
Sikafloor®-263 SL is poured, spread 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 in two directions with a spiked roller to ensure even thickness.

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