Packaging
Part A | 21 kg containers |
Part B | 4 kg containers |
Part A + B | 25 kg ready to mix units |
Colour
Resin - part A | coloured, liquid |

Almost unlimited choice of colour shades.
Due to the nature of carbon fibres providing the conductivity, it is not possible to achieve exact colour matching. With very bright colours (such as yellow and orange), this effect is increased. Under direct sun light there may be some discoloration and colour variation, this has no influence on the function and performance of the coating.

Substrate Quality
The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2. The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc. If in doubt apply a test area first.
Substrate Preparation
- ? Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve a profiled open textured surface.
- ? Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
- ? Repairs to substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling can be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials.
- ? The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled up in order to achieve an even surface. Unevenness influences the film thickness and thus the conductivity of the following layer.
- ? High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
- ? All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.
MIXING
Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. When parts A and B have been mixed, add Sikafloor®-Filler 1 or the quartz sand 0.1 - 0.3 mm and mix for a further 2 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to achieve a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air entrainment. Sikafloor®-262 AS N must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
APPLICATION
Sikafloor®-262 AS N is poured, spread evenly by means of a serrated trowel e.g. Large-Surface Scraper No. 656, Toothed blades No. 25 (www.polyplan.com). After spreading the material evenly, turn the serrated trowel and smooth the surface in order to achieve an aesthetically higher grade of finish. Roll immediately (within max. 10 minutes of application) in two directions with a steel spiked roller to ensure even thickness and to remove entrapped air. To obtain the highest level of aesthetic finish, spike roll in two directions at a 90 degree angle, passing only once in each direction.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
