🛠️ How to Apply Sikadur 43 HS
1️⃣ Surface Preparation
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, loose materials, and old coatings.
- Use sandblasting, grinding, or high-pressure water-jetting for proper surface preparation.
- Remove all standing water before application.
2️⃣ Priming
- For dry substrates, use Sikadur®-43 HS Primer.
- For damp surfaces, use Sikadur®-31 CF as a bonding primer.
- Always apply wet-on-wet to ensure proper adhesion.
3️⃣ Mixing
- Mix Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) for at least 2 minutes using a low-speed electric drill (max 500 rpm).
- Once uniform, add Part C (aggregates) and mix until you achieve a homogeneous mortar.
4️⃣ Application
- Apply the mixed mortar while the primer is still tacky.
- Compact and trowel firmly into place to ensure proper bonding.
- For large areas, ensure the layer thickness does not exceed 15 mm.
5️⃣ Cleaning
- Immediately clean tools with Sika® Colma Cleaner after use.
- Hardened or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
⚠️ Important Considerations
🚧 For external applications, seal the surface with Sikafloor®-94 MY.
🚧 Maximum thickness per layer: 5 cm (15 mm for large areas).
🚧 Minimum age of concrete before application: 3–6 weeks (depending on climate).
🚧 Always consult local regulations for specific applications.
