MIXING
Mix mechanically using a heavy-duty, low-speed drill (300 – 450 rpm) with a Mud Mixer/Box or Propeller-type paddle. Shake Component A before using, then pour approximately 85 % of its content in a clean mixer or pail. Add slowly Component B while continuing to mix until a uniform consistency is obtained (approx. 3 minutes). If a wetter consistency is required, add additional Comp. A and continue mixing until a homogenous consistency is achieved. For a smaller quantity, make sure that each component is properly premixed at the correct ratio.
APPLICATION
At time of application, the surface should be damp but saturated surface dry (SSD) with no glistening water films. A scrub coat should be applied prior to placement of mortar. Apply a 3 mm (1/8 in) thick scrub coat of SikaTop®-123 Plus into the substrate, filling all pores, voids and edges. Alternatively, SikaTop® Armatec-110 EpoCem® can be used as a bonding agent. Apply the desired mortar layer before bond coat dries. Force product against the edges of repair, working toward center. After filling the repair, consolidate then trim the surface flush with adjacent concrete sides. Allow mortar to reach initial set [30 – 60 min after placing at +23 °C (73 °F)], then finish with wood or sponge float for a textured surface.
For a smooth finish, use a steel trowel wiped with Comp. A during finishing.
If the repair requires several lifts (layers), apply the mortar leaving a rough profile and score the surface immediately in a crosshatch pattern using the corner of a steel trowel to a depth of approximately 6 mm (1/4 in) to provide a mechanical key (with exception to the last layer). Unfinished work from previous day must be roughened and any polymer film removed to ensure bond.
CURING TREATMENT
As per ACI 308 recommendations for cement concrete, curing is required. To achieve performance consistent with Technical Information, curing must be provided by recognized curing methods, such as wet burlap covered with white polyethylene film or approved water-based curing compound, such as Sika® Florseal WB-18 & -25. Curing must begin immediately after placing and finishing. Moist-curing must be maintained for the first 24 hours only then apply Sika® Florseal WB curing compound. Protect freshly applied mortar from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost.
CLEAN UP
Clean all tools and equipment after use with water. Once hardened, the product can only be removed mechanically.
