SYSTEM INFORMATION
Systems Suitable as top seal coat for different base coats: Sikafloor®-264, Sika-
floor®-264 SG, Sikafloor®-263 SL, Sikafloor®-324, Sikafloor®-3240, etc.. For
UV exposed areas the use of Sikafloor®-359 SA as a seal coat is highly re-
commended.
For application on inclined / sloping surfaces, addition of Sika® Extender T
is recommended.
For additional information, please contact Sika's Technical Department.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mixing ratio Part A : Part B = 88 : 12 (by weight)
Consumption ~0.25 kg/m2/coat, 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..
Ambient air temperature +5 °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-meth-
od.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Pot Life Temperature Time
+35 °C ~1 hour
Curing time Before applying Sikafloor®-359 SA 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 in-
formation.
