and excellent bond strength. It is suitable for
use as an intermediate layer or as a binder
for leveling mortars and mortar screeds.
Sikafloor-263 SL ZA, can be used as a
self-smoothing or broadcast system for
concrete and cement screeds with normal
to medium heavy wear. As a self-smoothing
wearing course on the floors of the panel
shop, Sikafloor-263 SL ZA (Colour RAL
7035), was applied over the primer. To act
as filler for bulking up and giving body to the
epoxy Sikafloor-263 SL ZA was mixed with
Sikafloor Quartsand SS2, a C Component.
Sikafloor-263 SL ZA is easy to apply and
provides a liquid-proof, gloss finish with
good chemical and mechanical resistance.
Besides the floors needing a durable,
dust-resistant surface, Sika recommended
coating the walls with a textured system
to help camouflage dirt and imperfections.
Priming the walls was achieved using
Sikafloor Garage (Light Grey – Extender
T- 0,44 kg), a two-part, water dispersed,
coating that is easily applied, water vapour
permeable and provides good chemical and
mechanical resistance.
Sikafloor-263 SL ZA and Sikafloor Garage
not only meet multiple international
standards, but conform to the requirements
of LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design), a rating system
devised by the United States Green
Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the
environmental performance of a building.
Due to the high quality of the Sika
products, the project was completed
timeously allowing F&M Salvage to promptly
resume its precision business in a world-
class workshop.
