System Information Application Details Consumption Substrate Quality
Concrete surfaces should be sound and clean, free from oil, grease, cement laitance and loosely adhering particles.
Substrate Preparation
Absorbent surfaces should be saturated thoroughly with water but without showing any puddle on their surfaces.
Application Instructions
Mixing
Mixing of diluted SikaTop -77 to cement mortar / concrete should preferably be
done manually. When a concrete mixer is used, pour the mortar as soon as its consistency is cohesive. Do not run the mixer too long.
Aggregates
Aggregates used in the mortar / concrete should be well graded and thoroughly washed. Sand particles sizes should correspond to the thickness of mortar to be applied. Thickness of mortar Particle Size 5 mm 0 2 mm 6 15 mm 0 3 mm over 15 mm 0 5 mm
Application Method / Tools
Bond Coating Prepare the base as indicated above. Apply cement based primer by using
SikaTop -77: Water = 1: 4 by volume in order to obtain a thin layer.
When the primer coat is still fresh and sticky apply mortar made out of SikaTop -77 and water combination. Masonry Jointing Prepare the base as indicated above. Make a firm mortar with fine sand and
cement using SikaTop -77: Water = 1: 8. Impregnate the area with primer coat as above. While the primer is wet, apply the mortar and immediately finish or reshape the surface as required.
Waterproof Plaster
SikaTop-77
2/3
Dilute SikaTop -77 with water in the proportion of 1: 6 by volume. Prepare the
mortar with this gauging mortar. Cured Plaster with SikaTop -77 would harden faster and would be watertight. Bonding Successive Concrete Casts
Wash the surface with high-pressure jet. Prepare a pasty mortar with SikaTop -77: Water = 1: 8 by volume. Apply this mortar onto the surface in a layer of 23 30 mm thickness. Pour fresh concrete after about an hour. Vibrate carefully to achieve satisfactory interpenetration of mortar and concrete. Polymer Modified Cement Grout for Injection
Construction
Open the crack lines into V and U groove and fix galvanised iron nozzles spaced at
regular intervals of 0.5 to 1.5 mm c/c along groove length with Sika -2 ,Sika -4a
mortar or Sikadur -31. Prepare a cement grout slurry admixed with SikaTop -77 at dilution rate of 1: 4 to 1: 8 by volume with water. Inject the fluid as per normal practice. Cleaning of Tools
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
Curing Treatment
Ensure that freshly applied mortars, renders, floor toppings, etc., are adequately protected from the drying effect of wind, sun and high temperatures. Adopt a curing regime appropriate to the application such as water mist, wet hessian, plastic sheeting, curing membranes.
