Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Concrete / brickwork / mortar screeds:
Must be smooth, clean, dry, homogeneous and free from oils and grease, dust and loose or friable particles.

APPLICATION

SikaBit® P-12 AE should be stirred thoroughly before use. Applied to the substrate by means of brush, roller or spray, as per consumption rates and allow to fully cure before installing following SikaBit® system.
Areas to be treated should be free from grease, oil and dust, etc.
Only prime areas that are to be covered in the same day. Do not leave the primer exposed for more than 24 hours. If this should happen, re-apply primer coat at given comsuption rate and allow to fully cure as above.

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.
