Sikafloor 01 Primer – Internal and External Liquid Priming Concentrate

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
▪ Enhances bond strength between the substrate and
subsequent Sika® materials
▪ Can be used on internal or external applications
▪ Is designed for commercial, residential and industrial installations

Characteristics / Advantages

• EMICODE EC 1PLUS certified ( Very Low VOC )
• BLUE ANGEL certified ( Eco frendly )
• Solvent-free
• Seals porous concrete
• Low consumption – high coverage
• Non-combustible
• Great penetration into porous concrete surfaces
• Can be applied neat over timber/wood, CFC & Scyon
• Suitable for application on subfloor heating systems
• Eliminates dust
• Versatile water dilution

Sustainability

▪ Green Star VOC-SCQMD Rule 1168
▪ EPD according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804
▪ Solvent-free according to TRGS 610

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

1. 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 oc- cur. 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.

2. Mixing

Mix Sikafloor®-01 Primer at a ratio of 1:3 – 1:2 – 1:1 only with clean cool water.

3. 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.
