Resistance
Chemical Resistance
The Sikafloor EpoCem product range has improved chemical resistance over plain concrete in aggressive environments, but is not designed as a chemical protection. For specific chemical resistance, always overcoat with a suitable product of the Sikafloor range. For occasional exposure or spillages, please consult.

System Information
System Structure The system configuration as described must be fully complied with and may not be changed. Primer indicated below is suitable for each of these substrates: Green concrete (as soon as mechanical preparation is possible) Damp concrete (> 14 days old) Damp aged concrete (rising moisture) Levelling screed for high substrate roughness: Layer thickness: 3 - 7 mm Primer: Sikafloor-155 WN Topping: Sikafloor -82 EpoCem

Application Details
Consumption / Dosage Primer: 2 Sikafloor -155 WN (parts A+B), thinned with 10% water, ~ 0.3 - 0.5 kg/m dependent on the substrate conditions, when repairing monolithic or vacuum concrete, or without a broadcast finish or when Sikafloor-82 EpoCem is overcoated with itself. Self smoothing screed: 2 Sikafloor -82 EpoCem ~ 2.25 kg/m /mm ~ 6.75 kg/ m2 for a 3 mm thick application (minimum for T.M.B.). These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage, etc.

Substrate Quality

The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength 2 2 (minimum 25 N/mm ) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm . The substrate can be damp but must be free of standing water and free of all contaminants such as oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.

Substrate Preparation

Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface. Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blow holes and voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor, SikaDur and Sikagard range of materials. High spots can be removed by grinding. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush or vacuum.

Application Conditions / Limitations Substrate Temperature Ambient Temperature Substrate Moisture Content Relative Air Humidity Dew Point +8C min. / +30C max. +8C min. / +30C max. Can be applied on green or damp concrete, without any standing water. 20% min. / 80% max. Beware of condensation! The substrate and uncured floor temperature must be at least 3C above the dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish. Application Instructions Mixing Part A : part B : part C - packing size : 1.14 : 2.86 : 27 kg Flooring Screed: At temperatures between +12C to +25C: 1 : 2.5 : 23.7 (by weight) Parts (A+B) : C = 4 kg : 27 kg At temperatures between +8C to +12C and +25C to +30C: The amount of part C can be reduced to 25 kg in order to improve workability. Never reduce part C by more than this amount. 1 : 2.5 : 22 (by weight) Parts (A+B) : C = 4 kg : 25 kg Extended mortar mix. Repair mortar: To repair surface irregularities and 7 to 10 cm in diameter and deeper than 7 mm and up to 15 mm the standard Sikafloor -82 EpoCem mix can be extended with dry quartz sand.
For each 31 kg unit of Sikafloor -82 EpoCem prepared as indicated below, add:

Sikadur-501 (quartz sand 0.3 - 0.9 mm) Quartz sand (3.0 - 5.0 mm) Final mix will be :

2.3 kg (~ 1.5 litres) and 17.7 kg (~ 12 litres) 51 kg (~ 22.0 litres)

Extended mortar mix. Flooring screed: For each 31 kg unit of Sikafloor -82 EpoCem prepared as indicated below, add: 12 kg (~ 7.8 litres) and Sikadur 509 (quartz sand 0.7 - 1.2 mm) 12 kg (~ 8 litres) Sikadur 510 (quartz sand 2.0 - 3.0 mm) Final mix will be : 55 kg (~ 24 litres) For this application, to achieve a good bond of the mortar to the substrate, SikaTop-Armatec-110 EpoCem must be used as a primer. Apply the mortar wet on wet to the primer.

Mixing Time

Prior to mixing, shake part A (white liquid) briefly until homogenous, then pour into container of part B and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. When dosing out of drums, stir and homogenise first. Pour the mixed binder (A+B) into a suitable mixing container (capacity of about 30 litres) and gradually add part C to the mixer while stirring with a power mixer. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. When dosing with additional aggregates, add them after adding Part C to the mix. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.

Mixing Tools

Mix using a slow speed electric mixer (300 - 400 rpm) with helical paddle or other suitable equipment. Recommended mixers are single or counter rotating double mortar (basket type) and forced action (pan type) mixers. Free fall mixers must not be used.

Application Method / Tools

Place mixed Sikafloor -82 EpoCem onto the primed substrate and spread evenly to the required thickness uniformly with a rubber or metal trowel or spatula to and immediately roll with a spike roller to remove entrapped air and obtain an even thickness layer.

Workability can be adjusted by varying slightly the amount of Part C. See Mixing above. Do not use additional water, which would disturb the surface finish and cause discolouration. A seamless finish can be achieved if a wet edge is maintained during application. Cleaning of Tools Potlife Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically. 31 kg unit
Temperature / r.h. 75% +10C +20C +30C Time ~ 50 minutes ~ 25 minutes ~ 12 minutes

Waiting Time / Overcoating

Before applying Sikafloor-82 EpoCem on Sikafloor -155 WN allow:

Minimum 24 hours 12 hours 8 hours

Maximum 48 hours 24 hours 12 hours

Sikafloor -82 EpoCem can be over coated with vapour tight coatings when surface humidity falls below 4%! Not earlier than:
Substrate temperature +10C +20C +30C Waiting time 3 days 1 day 1 day

Note: Successive coats of Sikafloor-82 EpoCem must be applied after priming with Sikafloor-155 WN and allowing at least the minimum times indicated above between applications. Times are approximate at 75% r.h. and will be affected by changing and substrate ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity. Notes on Application / Limitations If Sikafloor-82 EpoCem is used as TMB (Temporary Moisture Barrier), a minimum layer of 3 mm must be applied. (~ 6.75 kg/m2) Always ensure good ventilation when using Sikafloor-82 EpoCem in a confined space, to remove excess moisture. Freshly applied Sikafloor-82 EpoCem must be protected from damp, condensation and water for at least 24 hours. For external applications, apply primer and Sikafloor-82 EpoCem on a falling temperature. If applied during rising temperatures pin holing can occur.

External applications under extreme conditions (high temperature and low humidity) which can cause fast drying of the product must be avoided as the product does not allow the use of curing compounds. Under no circumstances add water to the mix. Non moving construction joints require pre-treatment with a stripe coat of primer and Sikafloor-82 EpoCem. Treat as follows: Static Cracks: Prefill and level with SikaDur or Sikafloor epoxy resin. Dynamic Cracks (> 0.4mm): To be assessed on site and if necessary apply a stripe coat of elastomeric material or design as a movement joint. The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks can lead to a reduced service life and reflective cracking.
Colour variations can occur on unsealed Sikafloor -82 EpoCem through exposure to direct sun light. This however, will not influence the mechanical properties. When overlaying with PMMA screeds, the surface of Sikafloor -82 EpoCem must be fully broadcast with sand 0.4 - 0.7 mm.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient and substrate conditions. Cleaning / Maintenance Methods
Due to the texture of its surface, Sikafloor -82 EpoCem is not suited to be used as wearing layer where easy staining can occur. A seal coat of the Sikafloor range with suitable cleaning capabilities is advisable.

Remove dirt using a brush and/or vacuum. Do not use wet cleaning methods until product is fully cured. Do not use abrasive methods or cleaners.
