Application
Mixing Ratio
Part A : Part B = 82.5 : 17.5 (by weight)
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % r.h. max.
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.
Substrate Temperature
+10 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
< 4 % pbw moisture content.
Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM – measurement or oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Pot Life
Temperature | Time |
+10 °C | ~60 min |
+20 °C | ~45 min |
+30 °C | ~30 min |
Curing Time
Before applying Sikafloor®-359 BH on basecoats allow waiting time of:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10 °C | ~36 h | ~72 h |
+20 °C | ~24 h | ~48 h |
+30 °C | ~16 h | ~36 h |
* On fully broadcasted basecoats no maximum waiting time applies. Make sure the fully broadcasted surface is free of dirt, oil, dust or any other contamination.
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity. Refer to PDS of relevant base coat for more information.
Applied Product Ready for Use
Temperature | Foot Traffic | Light Traffic | Full cure |
+10 °C | ~48 h | ~5 d | ~10 d |
+20 °C | ~24 h | ~3 d | ~7 d |
+30 °C | ~16 h | ~2 d | ~3 d |
Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions.
Consumption
~0.30 - 1.0 kg/m2 depending on system, exposure and area of application.
This figure is theoretical and does not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc..
EQUIPMENT
Sikafloor®-359 BH must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 to 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
MIXING
Mix full kits only. 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.
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.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative humidity and dew point.
Seal coat: Sealer coats can be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled roller.
For detailed information regarding application please refer to the method statement.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
