Technical Information

CURE MECHANISM

Sikafloor® Marine-190 cures by way of hydraulic curing.

Application

Application Information

Surface preparation

For leveling applications, the surface has to be clean, free from dust, grease, oils and other substances, which may impair adhesion. Rust has to be removed with a steel brush or other appropriate means, followed by vacuum cleaning.

The surface has to be primed with Sikafloor® Marine Primer C using a long hair roller. After drying of the Sikafloor® Marine Primer C, Sikafloor® Marine-190 may be applied.
For wet areas the surface has to be treated with a water resistant membrane (e.g. Sikafloor® Marine Elastic).
Sikafloor® Marine-190 applications on aluminum or zinc rich shop primer coated decks, require a tie coat of SikaCor® ZP Primer or another suitable tie coat prior the priming step with Sikafloor® Marine Primer C.

Application

Apply the mortar with a steel board or a straight edge. Sikafloor® Marine-190 can also be applied by pinrake.

Sikafloor® Marine-190 has to be applied within 20 minutes after mixing. At temperatures above 30 °C the open time will be reduced to 10 minutes or less.

For advice on selecting and setting up a suitable pump system, contact the System Engineering Department of Sika Industry.

Curing

After application, the finished areas have to be protected against direct heat (e.g. cutting or welding from beneath), sunlight and draught during the curing process for at least 12 hours.

Before Sikafloor® Marine-190 is covered with dense materials such as vinyl, epoxy or polyurethane coatings, etc., ensure that the remaining moisture level is below 4 %.
Test procedure to determine the dryness (according ASTM D 4263): put a PE-plastic foil 1 m x 1 m on the surface of the applied mortar floor, tape the perimeter and leave for one day. The curing is complete if there is no water condensation on the foil or a visible color difference between covered and uncovered surface.
