DESCRIPTION

USES
Sikafloor®-81 EpoCem® New HC may only be used by experienced professionals. As a Temporary Moisture Barrier (TMB) (min. 2 mm thick) allowing the application of Epoxy, Polyurethane and PMMA* resin floors requiring dry substrates, over high moisture content substrates, even green concrete, for a lasting solution. As a self-smoothing screed for :
▪ Levelling or patching horizontal concrete surfaces, in new work or repairs, in aggressive chemical environments.  
▪ Floor topping on non-ventilated damp substrates without particular aesthetic requirements. 
▪ Levelling layer under Epoxy, Polyurethane and PMMA* floor coatings / screeds, tiles, sheet floors, carpets or wooden floors.
▪ Repair and maintenance of monolithic and vacuum concrete floors.
Extended with quartz sand, as a patching and repair mortar :
▪ Under Epoxy, Polyurethane and PMMA floor coatings / screeds

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES
▪ Can be overcoated with epoxy resin compounds after 24 hours (20 °C, 75 % r.h.)
▪ Prevents osmotic blistering of resin based coatings over damp substrates
▪ Economical and fast, easy application
▪ Good levelling properties
▪ Impervious to liquids but permeable to water vapour
▪ Frost and de-icing salt resistant
▪ Thermal expansion properties similar to concrete
▪ Excellent bond to green or hardened concrete whether damp or dry
▪ Excellent early and final mechanical strengths
▪ Excellent resistance to water and oils
▪ Ideal preparation for smooth surface finishes
▪ For internal use
▪ Contains no solvents
