Construction Instructions

Substrate Preparation

The journey to a fortified floor begins with proper substrate preparation. As soon as the concrete substrate reaches plasticity (after bleeding, but before setting begins), smooth it out and level it off with a vibrating straight edge.

Application

• Sprinkle the Sikafloor-6 Chapdur Grey (KH) mixture “by hand” over the smooth, wet surface at a rate of 3 – 6 kg/m².
• Allow the mixture to absorb moisture from the substrate. When it’s evenly moist, consolidate and power float the surface.
• For smoothing, work with the power float machine running at low speed, fitted with a metal blade at a minimum inclination.
• Perform the final smoothing operation (if necessary) later, with the power float machine running at high speed.

Curing Treatment

• Protect the surface from rapid water loss to prevent surface cracks. Implement an approved curing system to ensure the best results.

Important Considerations

Before diving into the application, keep these vital points in mind:

• Avoid application in strong draughts.
• Slight color variations can occur due to concrete substrate characteristics, especially regarding water content and cement quality.
• Expect color variation during the drying period.
• Beware of efflorescence in low relative humidities and bleeding, slower curing, hardening, and extended finishing operations in high relative humidities.
• Sikafloor-6 Chapdur Grey (KH) is alkaline, so take precautions to minimize skin contact. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention.

Ecology, Health, and Safety

• Your safety and the environment matter. Follow all recommended guidelines to ensure both.

Local Restrictions and Legal Notes

• Check for local regulations as specific data and uses may vary from one region to another. For legal matters, consult the local Product Data Sheet and understand that circumstances can influence the application of Sikafloor-6 Chapdur Grey (KH).

In conclusion, Sikafloor-6 Chapdur Grey (KH) is a powerful tool for enhancing the durability, aesthetics, and overall performance of your floors. When properly applied, it offers a remarkable level of resistance to abrasion, impact, and more. Choose Sikafloor-6 Chapdur Grey (KH) to elevate your construction projects to new heights of strength and durability.
