🛠️ Mixing and Application Instructions
- Surface Preparation:
- Ensure all surfaces are clean, sound, and free from contaminants such as oil, grease, and loose particles.
- Saturate absorbent substrates with clean water, ensuring no standing water remains before application.
- Mixing:
- Pour approximately 4.0 liters of clean water into a mixing container.
- Gradually add one 25 kg bag of Sika 215 while continuously mixing.
- Use a low-speed drill (500 rpm) fitted with a mixing paddle to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Mix for at least 3 minutes, ensuring homogeneity.
- Application:
- Pour or pump the mixed grout immediately into the prepared area.
- Ensure continuous and even flow to prevent air entrapment.
- Use proper formwork to contain the grout if necessary.
- Curing:
- Protect the applied grout from direct sunlight, wind, and excessive drying.
- Use standard curing methods such as wet hessian, polyethylene sheeting, or curing compounds.
⚠️ Safety Precautions
- Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask while handling and applying the grout.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes; rinse immediately with clean water if contact occurs.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
