ApplicationMixture ratio 3.1 - 3.3 liters of water per 25 kg (55.1 lb) bag 12.4% - 13.2% liters of water per unit weight of powder Layer thickness minimum 10 mm (0.394 in) / maximum 40 mm (1.57 in) Ambient air temperature +5°C (+41 °F) minimum / +30°C (+86 °F) maximum Support temperature +5°C (+41 °F) minimum / +30°C (+86 °F) maximum Lifetime of the mixture ~40 minutes at 20 °C (68 °F) Consumption It depends on the nature of the support layer and the thickness of the applied layer. Usually, consumption is ~20 kg (~44.1 lb) of powder per 10 mm (0.394 in) thickness per m2 Yield For 1 bag of SikaGrout®-314, approximately 12.3 liters of mortar are obtained shuffle SikaGrout®-314 is mixed with an electric mixer at low speed (< 500 rpm) to avoid air entrainment. For best results always mix whole bags. Add water in the correct proportion to a mixing bowl. While mixing, gradually add the powder. Blend for at least 3 minutes to achieve desired consistency. APPLICATION Excess water will be removed from the substrate, for example with a clean sponge, until the surface has a wet-matt appearance without shine (dry saturated surface appearance). The pores and any small cavities of the substrate will not contain water. Wait 5 minutes after mixing for air entrained by mixing to be removed. Pour the mortar into the already prepared space, making sure there is enough pressure for the product to flow continuously. Make sure the air in the mortar can escape easily. To make the most of the mortar's capacity to increase its volume, put the mortar into work as quickly as possible (within 15 minutes max.). STRENGTHENING TREATMENT Keep the mortar surface exposed as little as possible. Protect the fresh material from premature drying using known methods such as: wet geotextile membrane, polyethylene film, jute fabric, anti-evaporation products, etc. CLEANING OF TOOLS Clean application tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically. |
