Sikafloor -ProSeal-12 | Varnish for the floor

Technical characteristics

Consumption / Dosing

5-10 m²/l 0.10-0.20 l/m² (per one layer);

The quality of the base

The concrete base must be free from water and impurities;

Preparation of the base

Sikafloor -ProSeal-12 should be applied to freshly laid concrete, immediately after final grouting or to an untreated surface of existing concrete.

Applying

• The working surface must be divided into parts for uniform distribution of Sikafloor-ProSeal-12;

• The material can be applied by spraying, roller or brush;

• One layer, as a rule, is enough to obtain a dust-free glossy surface;

• The surface with applied Sikafloor-ProSeal-12 must be protected from drafts and high temperature;

• Containers with Sikafloor-ProSeal-12 must be stored in a cool place;

• Sikafloor-ProSeal-12 , applied to freshly laid concrete, provides additional sealing, protects against premature evaporation of water, and when applied to an existing concrete surface, provides additional strengthening;

• Due to its exceptional penetrating properties, Sikafloor-ProSeal-12 reinforces a thicker surface layer than similar materials;

• Material that has not been absorbed into the concrete surface will form a shiny film that will rub off over time during use;

• When the floor is dirty (for example, during construction and high humidity), light spots may temporarily form, which do not affect the mechanical properties of the concrete floor;

• Sikafloor -ProSeal-12 makes the surface waterproof and resistant to the penetration of oil products;

• However, to prevent the appearance of stains, such substances must be immediately removed from the surface;

• Contamination when cutting seams can cause a whitish tint on the surface, but only if Sikafloor - ProSeal-12   has not yet dried;

• On the surface of the Sikafloor-ProSeal-12 material,  after preliminary grinding, it is possible to apply epoxy, vinyl, acrylic (in solution or emulsion) and alkyd coatings;

• However, we recommend preliminary testing of the compatibility and adhesion strength of these coatings on a test surface.

Drying time

The surface is dry to the touch after 2-4 hours at +20 °C. Full drying after 24 hours at +20 °C.

Overlap

If you want to get a painted surface, you can additionally apply a color layer after thorough cleaning of the surface.

Efficiency

Compared to untreated concrete, permeability reduction by 75% when applying 1l/6 m².

Cleaning the tool

• Wash the sprayer and nozzles after use with a solvent;

• Do not use a sprayer previously used for spraying silicones or oils.
