 Application Details
Mixing Ratio 4.25 - 4.5 litres of water per 25 kg bag.
Surface preparations Concrete or mortar surfaces must be clean, free from oil, grease and loosely
adhering particles. Remove all loose materials mechanically, with a wire brush or
sand blasting.
Metal Surfaces (steel and iron) should be free from scale, rust, oil and grease.
Exposed steel should be protected with Sika Top Armatec® -108 or -110 Epocem.
All repair area edges should be squared down a minimum 5mm. Pre-soak all repair
®
areas with water. Allow surface to dry (S.S.D.) before applying Sika Rep .
®
Mixing For normal applications add 4.25 - 4.5 litres of water per 25 Kg bag of Sika Rep
depending on the desired consistency. Mixing can be achieved either manually or
mechanically. Mechanical mixing is recommended by Sika for quantities greater
than 1 bag. Mixing should continue for a max 5 minutes after all the contents of the
bag are placed in the mix water.
Application Pre-soak the repair surface with clean water and then allow surface to dry (Surface
Saturated Dry-SSD).
Construction

®
Prime Surface with a slurry of Sika Rep using a stiff brush. The recommended
®
slurry consists of 5.0 - 5.5 litres of water per 25 Kg of Sika Rep .
®
While the slurry coat is still damp, apply Sika Rep to a maximum thickness of
30 mm and compact thoroughly by trowel.
®
For enhanced bonding characteristics use Sika Latex in the slurry mix or use
®
Sika Top Armatec -110 Epocem as the bonding medium.
Cleaning Clean all tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use.
Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
Pot Life (at 20° C) 35 minutes
Important  Minimum working temperature is + 8° C.
Recommendations  Minimum layer thickness = 5 mm
 Maximum layer thickness = 30mm
®
 For thickness less than 5 mm, Sika Rep Fine is available, where min thickness
0.5 mm and max thickness 5 mm per layer.
Curing Use approved curing methods.
For best results moist cure immediately after mortar reaches initial set (typically 1-2
hours depending on ambient temperatures), continue moist curing for minimum 48
hours. Use of a proprietary curing compound, like Antisol® -E, can be used.
Safety Instructions
Safety Precautions Protect skin and eyes from contact with mortar. Wear gloves and goggles.
Accidental splashes to the eyes or mucous membrane must be rinsed with clean
warm water. Seek medical attention without delay if required.
Ecology Residues of material must be removed according to local regulations.
