DESCRIPTION
Sikafloor 125 Level Latex is a ready to use (just add water) latex-modified smoothing and levelling compound for advanced flexibility and resilience. It is suitable for smoothing and levelling uneven rigid internal floors prior to applying final wearing coverings.
Once applied, Sikafloor 125 is trafficable within 2-4hours and floor coverings can be fitted after 8-10hours.
Approximate coverage: 5m2 per bag (when applied at 3mm)
To use Sika Latex from 0-6mm just mix with clean water
To use Sika Latex from 6-25mm add sharp sand at a 1:1 ratio with clean water only.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Self-smoothing & highly fluid
- Easy to use by pump or manual application
- Low shrinkage
- Maintains good workability and joint healing throughout its pot life
- Good surface appearance & hardness
- Excellent freeze-thaw salt resistance
- Protein & formaldehyde free
- Suitable for underfloor heating applications beneath cables/pipes or ontop of heated screeds
Floor Usage Foot Traffic Time for Foot Traffic 2-4hours Time for Coverings 8-10hours Bag Coverage 5m2 at 3mm Water Addition 5 litres per 25kg USES
Levelling/Smoothing:
- Concrete
- Sand cement screeds
- Quarry tiles, terrazzo, ceramic tiles
- Underfloor heating applications beneath cables/pipes or on top of heated screeds
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Normal Absorbent Concrete/Screed: These substrates do not normally require priming. Damp down floor with clean water without leaving puddles and allow to surface dry. If water is absorbed immediately into substrate, treat as porous surface.
Porous Concrete/Screed: Seal surface with PVA (1 part PVA to 4 parts clean water) ensuring surface is well coated, then allow to dry. For highly porous substrates it may be necessary to apply more than one coat to prevent pinholes and cracking/debonding of Sikafloor 125 Level Latex.
Non Porous/Dense Substrates: (quarry/ceramic tiles, terrazzo and smooth concrete etc) Mechanically roughen surfaces by grinding or scarifying to provide a mechanical key. Alternatively, apply a bonding coat of undiluted PVA and allow to become tacky before applying levelling compound.
LIMITATIONS
- Sika Latex Self Levelling is not designed as a final wearing surface and must be covered with a floor covering.
- Not to be used on flexible or unstable substrates.
- Do not use over timber, vinyl coverings, insulation/building boards, anhydrite screeds etc.
- For substrate advice contact Sika Technical Department.
- Do not use on floors with rising damp.
- Do not use as a DPM.
- Porous substrates must be sealed to prevent pinholing and cracking.
- Never exceed water quantity stated.
- Do not add any other materials to the mix.
- Do not use externally.
- Do not use for embedding underfloor heating systems.
- Do not use directly over the top of underfloor heating system pipes or cables.
