Application
Product Temperature
Please refer to the individual Product Data Sheet
Ambient Air Temperature
+10 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % max
Dew Point
Beware of condensation!
The substrate must be at least +3 °C above the Dew Point to reduce the risk of condensation, which may lead to adhesion failure or “blushing” on the floor finish.
Be aware that the substrate temperature may be lower than the ambient temperature.
Substrate Temperature
+10 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Substrate Moisture Content
≤ 4 % parts by weight
The following test methods can be used: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Pot Life

Waiting Time / Overcoating
Before applying Sikafloor®-264 HC N on Sikafloor®-161 HC allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10 °C | 24 hours | 3 days |
+20 °C | 12 hours | 2 days |
+30 °C | 8 hours | 1 day |
Before applying Sikafloor®-264 HC N on Sikafloor®-264 HC N allow:
Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum |
+10 °C | 30 hours | 3 days |
+20 °C | 24 hours | 2 days |
+30 °C | 16 hours | 1 day |
Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.

Consumption
Coating System | Product | Consumption |
Primer | 1 × Sikafloor®-264 HC N | 0.30–0.50 kg/m² |
Roller Coat | 1–2 × Sikafloor®-264 HC N | 0.35–0.50 kg/m² |
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc. Additional coat may require for lighter colour
EQUIPMENT
Sikafloor®-264 HC N must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300–400 rpm) or other suitable equivalent equipment. For the preparation of mortars use a forced action mixer of rotating pan, paddle or trough type. Free fall mixers should not be used.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
- The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm²) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm².
- The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc. If in doubt apply a test area first.
- Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
- Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling can be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard ® range of materials.
- The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled in order to achieve an even surface.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning, scarifying and/or grinding equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface.
High spots must be removed by grinding. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum
MIXING
- Prior to mixing all parts, mix separately Part A (resin) using an electric single paddle mixer (300–400 rpm) or other similar equipment. Mix liquid and all the coloured pigment until a uniform colour / mix has been achieved.
- Add Part B (hardener) to Part A and mix Part A + B continuously for 2–3 minutes until a uniformly coloured mix has been achieved.
- To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another clean container and mix again for ~1 minute to achieve a smooth consistent mix. Excessive mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.
- During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a straight edge trowel or spatula at least once to ensure complete mixing. Mix full units only. Total mixing time ~3 minutes.
- Free fall mixers should not be used.
Note: Part A (resin) and coloured pigment can be mixed a day earlier.
APPLICATION
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity and dew point are within the limits stated in the Product Data Sheet of the respective product. If > 4 % pbw moisture content, Sikafloor® EpoCem® may be applied as a TMB (temporary moisture barrier) system. Contact Sika Technical Service for more information.
Primer
Make sure that a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. If necessary, apply two priming coats. For overcoating time refer to the most recent Product Data Sheet. Apply Sikafloor®-264 HC N by brush, roller or squeegee. Preferred application is by using a squeegee and then back rolling crosswise.
Levelling
Rough surfaces must be levelled using Sikafloor®-161 HC levelling mortar (refer to the most recent Product Data Sheet). For overcoating time of Sikafloor®-161 HC, refer to the most recent Product Data Sheet.
Roller coat / Seal Coat
Roller coats / Sealer coats can be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled roller.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C or suitable solvent immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
CLEANING
All spillages must be removed immediately!
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, regularly clean the floor using methods such as dust mopping, wet mopping, scrubber drying, wet scrubbing and wet vacuuming etc. with suitable detergents and waxes. Refer to the guideline "Cleaning & Maintenance of Sikafloor Systems".
