Sikafloor®-3240
Sikafloor®-3240 is a two part solvent free, coloured self-smoothing PUR resin, total solid according to Deutsche Bauchemie, with tough-elastic properties. Sikafloor®-3240 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.

+10 °C min. / +30 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
~75 - 80 %
Dew Point
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.

MIXING
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.
If quartz sand addition to the mix is requied (according to the system), you can add it only when parts A and B have been mixed. Add the quartz sand F34 0.1 – 0.3 mm and mix for further 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour the materials into another pail and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. After mixing leave the mixture for 3 minutes to react before applying.
Mixing Tools
Sikafloor®-3240 must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
Sikafloor®-3240 (with quartz sand addition) is poured and spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel or pin rake. When used in a self-smoothing system, roll in two directions with a spike roller to ensure even thickness and to remove entrapped air.
Sikafloor®-3240 (without quartz sand addition) can be applied by brush, roller or squeegee.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor®-3240 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.
