    Application Details
    Substrate preparation

    All surfaces must be sound, even, free from dust, loose particles and any
    contamination.

    Sika Bitumen may be applied to damp but not waterlogged surfaces.

    Hot and very dry, porous concrete surfaces must be primed by diluting Sika
    Bitumen with clean water at 1:1 ratio (by weight).

    Application

    The drums must be stirred well before use.


    Where a single drum is used for prolonged periods, occasional stirring during
    application is recommended.
    If a primer coat is applied, allow it to dry completely before applying subsequent
    coats.

    Apply Sika Bitumen evenly and in one direction using a stiff brush.
    A two-coat application is recommended to avoid possible gaps in the film.
    Each coat must be allowed to dry before applying the next one.
    In wet areas, where a key to subsequent layers (e.g. screed, tile bedding, etc.) is
    required, blind the fresh top layer with clean sharp sand.

    Do not apply Sika Bitumen to outside areas in wet weather or when rain is
    expected.

    Cleaning

    Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use.
