Description
Sikafloor 01 Primer – Internal and External Liquid Priming Concentrate
– Available in a 5 Litre Jerry Can
Sikafloor 01 Primer is a concentrated resin primer designed to be applied prior to the application of cement and gypsum type products.
Uses
Applied in combination with suitable materials from Sikafloor®, SikaBond®, Sikadur®, SikaTite® & Davco® ranges.
Sikafloor®-01 Primer;
- Is suitable for pre-treating surfaces following the recommended preparation & dilution rates

Important Considerations
- Do not mix or apply Sikafloor®-01 Primer in temperatures below 10°C and above 35°C.
- Sikafloor®-01 Primer is not recommended as a trafficable seal coat over cement based materials.
Ecology, Health and Safety
- For information and advice on the safe handling, storage and disposal of chemical products, users shall refer to the most recent Safety Data Sheet (SDS) con- taining physical, ecological, toxicological and other safety-related data.
Application Instructions
Substrate Quality/Pre-Treatment
- Concrete should be fully cured, structurally sound with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 MPa, clean, dry, and free of surface contaminates and dust for Eg. Concrete must be porous and accept water penetration.
- Test by lightly sprinkling water on various areas of the substrate.
- If water penetrates, then a good bond with Sikafloor®-01 Primer can be achieved.
- If water beads and fails to be absorbed by the concrete surface contaminants are present then loss of adhesion may occur.
- Contaminates that are present should be mechanically removed before installation.
- Concrete must be free of efflorescence and not subject to hydro-static pressure.
- If the concrete substrate has efflorescence or high moisture (RH) Sikafloor®-158 W fast Barrier – moisture barrier system should be considered.
- Timber surfaces must be clean and freshly sanded to remove any previous coatings.
- Contact your local Sika office for current system information.
Mixing
- Mix Sikafloor®-01 Primer at a ratio of 1:3 – 1:2 – 1:1 only with clean cool water.
Application
Apply Diluted
- Sikafloor®-01 Primer by way of a soft bristle broom, or long napped roller 10 – 15mm.
- Correct amount of mixed primer should always be applied to the prepared substrate, giving good penetration and film build.
- Thin applications may result in pinholing in finished surface or debonding levelling compound from the substrate.
- On particularly porous surfaces where the initial prime coat is absorbed immediately, or mechanically prepared surfaces a second coat is recommended. Avoid foam during application by adding more liquid.
Apply Neat
- Sikafloor®-01 Primer over raw timber/chipboard, CFC & scyon with a long napped roller 10 – 15mm.
NOTE:
For best practice it is recommended subsequent construction materials are applied as soon as primer is dry, but no latter than 24hrs.
- Do not allow primer to pool while drying as this will cause a soft spot under the cement compound.
- Do not allow dust to settle on the surface.
- If dust has contaminated the surface, first vacuum clean and apply another coat of primer before subsequent materials are installed.
