Application Instructions:
Substrate Quality: Concrete/mortar (>28 days), masonry, natural stone must be sound, clean, dry or mat damp, and free of contaminants. Steel should be de-rusted to Sa 2.5.
Substrate Preparation: Clean surfaces thoroughly by mechanical means (blast cleaning, etc.) to achieve a laitance and contaminant-free, open-textured surface.
Mixing: Mix pre-batched components A+B for at least 3 minutes with a slow-speed mixer until a uniform grey colour and smooth consistency are achieved. Avoid aeration. Re-mix in a clean container for another minute.
Application: Apply adhesive with a spatula, trowel, or notched trowel. For repair mortar, use formwork. Support bonded metal profiles on vertical surfaces for at least 12 hours. Check adhesion after hardening.
Cleaning of Equipment: Clean tools immediately with Sika Colma Cleaner. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.

Colour Accuracy Disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
