Substrate pre-treatment
The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength 25 MPa with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 MPa.
Industrial applications should have a fresh mechanical profiled surface prior to applying primer. Concrete should be fully cured, structurally sound, clean, dry, and free of efflorescence, surface contaminates and dust for Eg.
Concrete must accept water penetration. Test by lightly sprinkling water on various areas of the substrate. If water penetrates, then a good bond with a selected primer can be achieved. If water beads and fails to be absorbed by the concrete surface contaminants are present then loss of adhesion may occur. Contaminates that are present should be mechanically removed before installation. All Substrates should be moisture tested prior to the application of Sikafloor levelling systems. If concrete is high in moisture a suitable barrier & primer should be selected. Ambient temperature of surfaces and materials should be maintained at temperatures higher than 9°C. For suitable repairs to the substrate speak with a Sika Technical Representative in your state or area.
Pot Life
Temperature and Relative Air Humidity | Time (minutes) |
+23 °C / 50% | 15 |
The ambiant and water temperature will affect the pot life. Application at temperatures above +23 °C will reduce the pot life and the working time. Temperatures below +23 °C will increase the pot life and extend the working time.
Waiting time to overcoating
Coatings | Layer Thickness (mm) | Waiting time (hours) |
Impermeable coatings | ≤ 20 | 24 (1) |
Sealing or densifying | ≤ 20 | 24 (1) |
Impermeable coatings | ≤ 30 | 48 (1) |
Sealing or densifying | ≤ 30 | 24 (1) |
(1) Times are approximate and at +23 °C and 50% r.h. and thus will be affected by changing substrate and ambient conditions, particularly the temperature and relative humidity.
When overcoating Sikafloor® Level-30 (TH) always ensure the moisture content has achieved the required value for the coating product, as the waiting time will vary with the application thickness and ambient humidity. (Refer to the coating product data sheet)
A roughened profile surface must be achieved before Sikafloor® epoxy or polyurethane coatings are applied. Sealing or densifying with Sikafloor® CureHard-24 is applied on smooth Sikafloor® Level-30 (TH) surface.

MIXING
- When mixing manually place of cool water into a suitable sized vessel then add a full bag (25kg) of Sikafloor® Level-30 (TH) powder slowly to the water while mixing continuously whith a high speed
- Additional water over the recommended amount stated may result in poor product performance and possible failure.
- Mix thoroughly for a minimum of 3 minutes with a suitable high speed drill and mixing paddle.
- Mixing for the recommended time will providemaximum product performance.
APPLICATION
Pour or pump Sikafloor® Level-30 (TH) then spread with a long handled gauged rake, stand up trowel, screed bar to required thickness. For small touch-ups use a flat steel hand trowel. To help optimise colour consistency the use of a spike roller when first placed is advised.
Note: Freshly applied Sikafloor® Level-30 (TH) must be protected from damp, condensation and all forms of water while curing for at least 24 hours.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
