Application

Application Information

Ambient Air Temperature

Room temperature between +59°F (+15°C) and +95°F (+35°C). For ambient temperatures standard construction guidelines should be followed. Follow all wood floor manufacturers’ acclimation and room temperature requirements.

Relative Air Humidity

Between 40 % and 60 % during installation is best for adhesive. See wood floor manufacturer for wood requirements.

Substrate Temperature

During laying and until SikaBond®-150 Premium Floor has fully cured, substrate temperature should be greater than +60 °F (+15 °C)and in the case of radiant floor heating, less than +70 °F (+20 °C). For substrate temperatures, standard construction guidelines should be followed.

Substrate Moisture Content

Where moisture readings exceed 9 lbs / 1000 sq. ft / 24 hrs or 90% RH (or 6 lbs/ 85% RH prior to install linoleum or rubber)

Cure Time

24 hrs (final strength after 72 hrs)

Flash-off Time

0-120 minutes (depending on laying method and porousity)

Application Time

20 minutes - up to 8 hours (depending on laying method and pourosity)

Consumption

Coverage

• Coverage must be monitored to ensure accuracy of application. Trowel angle may prevent proper coverage.

• Applicator is responsible for periodic inspection of the trowel to check for excessive wear. Worn trowels must be replaced immediately.

• In case of uneven substrates, it may be necessary to use a notched trowel with bigger notches (avert hollow sections).

• Coverage must be monitored to ensure accuracy of application. Trowel angle may prevent proper coverage.

• Trowel size is recommended to obtain proper coverage, larger sizes are acceptable. Excessive amounts of adhesive may cause flooring to slide while placing check coverage during installation.

• Substrate Quality: Structurally sound, clean, dry, homogeneous, even, free from grease, dust and loose particles, paint, laitance, and other poorly adhering particles must be removed.

Application Steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

For the application of SikaBond®-150 Premium Floor all standard construction guidelines and relevant valid data sheets apply.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

• The substrate must be clean, dry, sound and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Paint, cement laitance and other poorly adhering contaminants must be removed.
• SikaBond®-150 Premium Floor adheres without primers and/or activators.
• The subfloor must meet the requirements of national standards, must have good compression and tensile strength and has to be even.
• Defective subfloors shall be treated by taking appropriate measures e.g. grinding, milling, vacuuming or priming.
• To produce an absorbent, even subfloor, a cement- based levelling compound shall be used, e.g. Sika® Level Underlayments or Sika® Level SkimCoat. For appropriate layer thicknesses refer to the relevant valid data sheets.
• Mastic asphalt and other non-absorbent subfloors as well as rubber floor coverings may require specific self-levelling compound layer thicknesses. For appropriate layer thicknesses refer to the relevant valid data sheets.
• Concrete and/or cement screeds must be ground and thoroughly cleaned with an industrial vacuum.
• When installing floor covering with underfloor heating, existing measuring points have to be checked regarding the moisture content of the subfloor.

MIXING

Stir SikaBond®-150 Premium Floor well before use.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use with water or Sika® TopClean T. Once cured, residual material can only be removed mechanically
