TOPPING :

Sikafloor®-264 HC is a three parts, economic, coloured epoxy resin.

The salient features of Sikafloor® 264 HC are as below:

 Good chemical and mechanical resistance

 Easy application
 Economical
 Liquid proof
 Gloss finish
 Slip resistant surface possible
 APPLICATION METHODOLOGY

Moisture content

The Moisture content of concrete is checked with a Sika Tramex moisture meter.
Moisture content of the surface should be less than 4%.
If the moisture content is more than 4% then a moisture barrier underlay to be used.

Surface Preparation

The long term durability of Sika Epoxy Floor Topping is dependent upon the adhesive bond
Construction
achieved between the flooring material and substrate. It is most important that the existing
epoxy substrate is correctly prepared prior to application.

 All cracks to be opened up and sealed with epoxy mortar / Putty

 Any loose patches to be removed and repaired with epoxy mortar / Putty
 Filling up of pot holes, dents on the surface with epoxy mortar / Putty
 Grinding filled joints, slurry accumulated areas
 The surface must be prepared by Diamond grinding, connected with a dust collector to
minimize dust generation.

Application of Primer Sikafloor 161HC

Mixing of Primer
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. Over mixing
must be avoided to minimize air entrainment.
Sikafloor®-161 HC must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 -
400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.

Application of Primer
Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply
two priming coats. Apply Sikafloor®-161 HC by brush, roller or squeegee.
Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then back rolling crosswise.

Application of Basecoat Sikafloor 264HC

Mixing of Sikafloor 264 HC:

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. To ensure thorough
mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air entrainment. Sikafloor®-264 HC must be
thoroughly mixed using a low speed stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.

Application of Sikafloor 264 HC:

Sikafloor®-264 HC as coating, can be applied by short-piled roller (crosswise). If two
coats are applied the second coat is applied after the first coat has completely dried.
Coats can be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled
roller.
