Important considerations
- Do not buff/grind within 24 hrs of application.
- Reflect all construction/expansion joints in existing concrete.
- Do not mix with other cement-based screeds.
- No loading for at least 10 hours.
- Allow a 5mm gap against structural walls in unprotected exterior areas, fill with sealant later.
- Colour variations may occur due to raw material variability.
- The surface must be sealed for a final floor finish to prevent staining.
- Not suitable for permanently submerged locations or slopes > 0.5%.
- Protect from extreme conditions for 12hrs after application to avoid cracking or crazing.
Application instructions
Equipment
- High speed heavy duty electric drill, mixing paddle & suitable size bucket/vessel - 20L +
- Purpose built mechanical pump
Substrate quality / pre-treatment
- Concrete substrates must have a compressive strength >25 MPa with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 MPa.
- Concrete shall have a concrete surface profile of CSP 2 or CSP 3 prior to applying primer.
- Concrete must be clean, dry, and free of surface contaminates and dust for Eg. Concrete must be porous and 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 and a loss of adhesion may occur. Contaminates that are present should be mechanically removed before installation.
- Concrete must be free of efflorescence and not subject to hydrostatic pressure. If the substrate has efflorescence or high moisture a Sika vapour barrier shall be required, refer priming information in this document.
- For external applications ensure perimeter expansion joints are present prior to the application of Sikafloor Level-30 (AU). Perimeter joints can completed with Sika Abelflex filler. Do not pour Sikafloor Level-30 (AU) hard up against perimeter walls.
Priming:
Porous Substrates can be primed with the following primers
- SikaTile 010 Secure Prime
- Davco PrimeX
Non-porous substrates can be primed with the following primers
- Sikafloor-14 Prep n Prime
High Moisture content substrates can be primed with the following epoxy vapour barriers
- Sikafloor 158 Fast Barrier
- Sikalastic Moisture Seal
Once the above epoxy vapour barriers have been installed a single coat of Sikafloor-14 Prep n Prime then needs to be applied before application of the Sikafloor Level-30 (AU).
Mixing
- Not mixing for the recommended time or additional water may result in product finish irregularities and possible failure.
- Only mix Sikafloor Level 30 (AU) in full bags and not part bags.
- Avoid mixing for less than the specified time for best results.
Single Bag Mixing
Mix the entire 20kg bag of powder with 3.9 - 4.1 Litres of clean, cool water. Slowly add powder to the water while mixing with a suitable electric drill and mixing paddle. Thoroughly mix at high speed for a minimum of 3 minutes to a lump free consistency.
Multi Bag Mixing Station
Pre-measure the correct amount of water for the number of bags being mixed. Add the water to the mixing station then slowly add the powder to the water while mixing. Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed for a minimum of 3 minutes from the last bag added to the mixing station.
Pumping:
Sikafloor Level 30 may be applied by way of pumping device so long as mixing time is achieved. Pump suppliers should be consulted for suitable recommendations. Test areas are recommended prior to applying large spaces. Ensure pump machines are calibrated to avoid over watering of the mixture.
Extending:
5kg of clean 1 – 2mm aggregates may be mixed with 20kg of Sikafloor Level 30. This volume will cover 1m² at 15mm or equal 15L of product.
Recommended build 10 – 50mm in one application.
Reduce water to 4L if using aggregates for extending purpose.
Application
Pour or pump Sikafloor Level 30 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 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.

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.
