Sikafloor®-324
Tough-elastic, low-VOC, aromatic polyurethane resin
Sikafloor®-324 is a two part solvent free, pigmented, aromatic polyurethane resin, with tough-elastic properties. Sikafloor®-324 makes use of Sika's unique i-Cure technology to improve surface aesthetics and reduce sensitivity for ambient humidity during application. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Application
Mixing ratio
Part A : Part B = 81:19 (by weight)
Ambient air temperature
Min. +10 °C / Max. +35 °C
Relative air humidity
Max. 80 % r.h.
Dew point
Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation on the surface of the applied product.
Substrate temperature
Min. +10 °C / Max. +35 °C
Pot Life
| +10 °C | ~40 minutes |
| +20 °C | ~30 minutes |
| +30 °C | ~20 minutes |
Waiting time to overcoating
Before overcoating the Product, allow:
| Temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
| +10 °C | 30 hours | 72 hours |
| +20 °C | 24 hours | 48 hours |
| +30 °C | 16 hours | 36 hours |
If the maximum waiting time is exceeded, the surface must be prepared by grinding to obtain a mechanical key between the layers.
Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Applied product ready for use

Consumption
Please refer to the particular System Data Sheets and related Method Statement.
MIXING
- Mix part A until a uniform colour and mix has been achieved. Add Part B (hardener) to Part A.
- IMPORTANT: Do not mix excessively. Mix Part A + B continuously for ~2 minutes until a uniformly coloured mix is achieved.
- When required, add the quartz sand (e.g. Sikadur®-504) 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 smooth and uniform mix.
- During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.
- Leave the Product to stand for 3 minutes before application.
-
MIXING EQUIPMENT: Electric double paddle mixer (>700 W, 300 to 400 rpm).
APPLICATION
Follow the application procedures as defined in particular System Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
Generally, Sikafloor®-324 is poured and spread evenly by means of a short piled roller, serrated trowel or pin rake. When used in a selfsmoothing system applications, roll in two directions with a spike roller, to ensure even thickness and to remove entrapped air.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor®-324 must have all spillages removed immediately and be regularly cleaned using rotary brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryer, high pressure washer, wash and vacuum techniques etc., using suitable detergents and waxes.
