Application steps

MIXING

Under normal circumstances, when the full quantities of both parts are mixed together, a slurry consistency will result. The consistency of the mix can be altered by reducing the amount of Part A (liquid) to be used. For a trowellable consistency, use only 90% of Part A (4 kg). Mix in a clean container by slowly adding Part B (powder) to Part A and stirring with a low speed mixer (≤ 500 rpm). Use within 30 minutes.

APPLICATION

Whilst the substrate is still damp from saturation, apply the first coat. Leave to harden for approximately 4–8 hours at temperatures above 20 °C before applying the second coat. For slurry consistency, apply with a hard plastic bristled brush or broom.

For floor applications, to avoid risk of damage to the first coat, it is recommended that the second coat be applied after 24 hours. If the second coat is applied 12 hours or later, the first coat shall be slightly prewetted, preferably by using a fine spray. After the second coat has been applied, better finishing can be achieved by rubbing down with a soft, dry sponge.

Sika® Brushcoat-WP can also be applied by trowel or by spraying. For more details, please refer to our Technical Service Department.

CURING TREATMENT

Special curing methods are generally not required but some precautions should be taken for applications done directly under sunlight and windy conditions. It should be protected from direct rain for at least 4 hours.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
