  • Surface PreparationFor levelling applications, the surface has to be clean, free from dust, grease, oils and other substances, which may impair adhesion. Rust has to be removed with a steel brush or other appropriate means, followed by vacuum cleaning.The surface has to be primed with Sikafloor® Marine Primer C using a long hair roller. After drying of the Sikafloor® Marine Primer C, Sikafloor® Marine-118 FC may be applied.For use in combination with Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red the application can be executed without primer.Sikafloor® Marine-118 FC applications on aluminum or zinc rich shop primer coated decks, require a tie coat of SikaCor® ZP Primer or another suitable tie coat prior the priming step with Sikafloor® Marine Primer-C.For wet areas the surface has to be treated with a water resistant membrane (e.g. Sikafloor® Marine Elastic).
  • ApplicationApply the mortar with a steel board or a straight edge. Sikafloor® Marine-118 FC can also be applied by pinrake. Sikafloor® Marine-118 FC has to be applied within 20 minutes after mixing. At temperatures above 30 °C the open time will be reduced to 10 minutes or less. For advice on selecting and setting up a suitable pump system, contact the System Engineering Department of Sika Industry.
  • CuringAfter application, the finished areas have to be protected against direct heat (e.g. cutting or welding from beneath), sunlight and draught during the curing process for at least 12 hours.Before Sikafloor® Marine-118 FC is covered with dense materials such as vinyl, epoxy coatings, etc., ensure that the remaining moisture level is below 4 %. Test procedure to determine the dryness (according ASTM D 4263): put a PE-plastic foil 1m x 1m on the surface of the applied mortar floor, tape the perimeter and leave for one day. The curing is complete if there is no water condensation on the foil or a visible color difference between covered and uncovered surface.
  • RemovalExcess material can best be removed before curing with a trowel wipe or water.Fresh Sikafloor® Marine-118 FC may be removed from tools and equipment with water. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Exposed hands and skin shall be washed immediately with water. Use a suitable skin protection hand cream.
