These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to
application technique, surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and
wastage etc.
Substrate Quality The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength
2 2
(minimum 25 N/mm ) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm .
The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil,
grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.
If in doubt, apply a test area first.
Substrate Preparation Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning
or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured
surface.
Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids
must be fully exposed.
Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be
® ®
carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor , SikaDur and
®
SikaGard range of materials.
The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled in order to achieve
an even surface.
High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces
before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.

Application Conditions
/ Limitations
Substrate Temperature +10°C min. / +35°C max.
AmbientTemperature +10°C min. / +35°C max.
Substrate Moisture < 4% pbw moisture content.
Content ®
Test method: Sika -Tramex meter, CM – measurement or Oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Relative Air Humidity 80% r.h. max.
Dew Point Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3°C above dew point to reduce
the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.

Application
Instructions
Mixing Part A : part B = 78 : 22 (by weight)
Mixing Time Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part
A, mix continuously for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to
achieve a consistent mix.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.
®
Mixing Tools Sikafloor -359 SG must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer
(300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
Application Method / Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, r.h. and dew point.
Tools Seal coat:
Sealer coats can be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a
short-piled roller.
®
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika Thinner C immediately after
use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
Potlife
Temperatures Time
+10°C ~ 40 minutes
+20°C ~ 25 minutes
+30°C ~ 15 minutes

® ®
Waiting Time / Before applying Sikafloor -359 SG on Sikafloor -325 or -264 broadcast allow:
Overcoating
Substrate temperature Minimum Maximum

+10°C 36 hours *

+20°C 24 hours *

+30°C 16 hours *

* No max. waiting time if fully broadcast surface is free from all contaminations.
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions
particularly temperature and relative humidity.
®
Notes on Application / Freshly applied Sikafloor -359 SG must be protected from damp, condensation
Limitations and water for at least 24 hours.
®
Sikafloor -359 SG applied at different thicknesses can lead to different degrees of
matt finish.
Avoid puddles on the surface with the primer.
If heating is required do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters, these
produce large quantities of both CO2 and H2O water vapour, which may adversely
affect the finish. For heating use only electric powered warm air blower systems.

The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service
life and reflective cracking.
®
For exact colour matching, ensure the Sikafloor -359 SG in each area is applied
from the same control batch numbers.

Cleaning / Maintenance
®
Methods To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sikafloor -359 SG must
have all spillages removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned using rotary
brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryer, high pressure washer, wash and
vacuum techniques etc. using suitable detergents and waxes.
EU Regulation 2004/42 According to the EU-Directive 2004/42, the maximum allowed content of VOC
(Product category IIA / j type sb) is 500 g/lt (Limit 2010) for the ready to use
VOC - Decopaint Directive
product.
®
The maximum content of Sikafloor -359 is < 500 g/lt VOC for the ready to use
product.
