• Non-porous primer prior to waterbased waterproofing membranes
• Fast drying, ready for covering after 50+ mins
• Easy application - brush or roller applied
• Dries with a grip/rough finish promoting a keyed surface, for improved bond with subsequent materials
• Time saving alternative to mechanical grinding of surfaces such as tiles and non-porous substrates
• Suitable as a primer for resin backed tile and stone (conduct a bond test first)

Usage

Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact is applied in combination with suitable materials from Sikafloor, SikaTile, Davco and other relevant Sika product ranges.

Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact is suitable for priming over the following fully bonded and thoroughly cleaned surfaces:

• Ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Terrazzo
• PVC control leak flanges and metal drain flanges prior to waterproofing
• Non-porous coatings
• Sika waterbased vapour/moisture barriers such as Sikalastic Moisture Seal and Sikafloor-158W Fast Barrier
• Vinyl flooring (non cushion backed)
• Sika acrylic membranes
• Non porous construction boards and sheets

Product Information

• Packaging: 10 Litre and 4 Litre pails
• Appearance and colour: Grey liquid with fine aggregate
• Recycled content: Up to 15% recycled raw material content
• Shelf life: 12 months from date of manufacture if unopened
• Storage conditions: Store in dry cool conditions out of direct sunlight. Do not allow the product to freeze.

Application Information

• Consumption: 8-10 m² per litre dependent on substrate texture and profile
• Ambient air temperature: Apply between +5°C to 35°C

Substrates:

• Ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Terrazzo*
• PVC and metal control leak flanges and pipe penetrations prior to waterproofing
• Non-porous coatings*
• Acrylic membranes*
• Non-porous construction sheeting and boards*

*Note: conduct a bond test prior to priming application to verify suitability.

Waiting time to overcoating: Before applying subsequent flooring products Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact must be completely dry (50 min+ @ 23°C). Do not install products over wet or pooling Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact; instead, brush the pooling product out and wait till dry. When priming resin backed stone allow primer to dry for 3 hours (at 23°C & 50% RH). In cool or cold climate drying time will be extended.

System Structure

Non-porous System:

• Clean non-porous surface
• Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact
• Subsequent suitable Sika product

Moisture/Vapour Barrier System:

• Concrete subfloor up to 98% RH (2 coats)
• Sikalastic Moisture Seal or Sikafloor-158W Fast Barrier (2 coats)
• Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact
• Subsequent suitable Sika product

Limitations

• Test product in an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility. Bond testing is considered good practice and is recommended by Sika to verify product suitability prior to overcoating.
• Do not apply Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact over concrete surfaces, use a Sika porous primer.
• Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact should not be applied over solvent based finishes.
• Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact may only be applied over SikaTile® or Davco® acrylic membranes.
• Sikafloor® 100% Solids Epoxy must be cured for at least 24hrs before the application of Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact.
• Do not apply on damp or wet substrates.
• Polished or high gloss tiles shall be sanded or abraded to remove high gloss finish prior to application.
• Ensure Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact is fully dry prior to subsequent applications of membranes and other coatings.
• Not suitable over tiles and natural stone that have sealers previously applied.
• When used over existing tile ensure tiles are sound and well bonded.
• Do not use Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact in areas of permanent water exposure. Ensure applications externally are applied over falls to wastes and avoid ponding.
• For uses not mentioned in the Product Data Sheet contact Sika Australia.

Application Instructions

Equipment: Paint brush or medium nap roller.

Substrate preparation: The substrate must have adequate strength, load bearing capacity, dimensional stability and be dry. All substrates must be clean, dry and free of residues which reduce adhesion, e.g. dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax, cleaning agents and loose particles. 100% solids epoxy must be applied more than 24hrs before Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact can be applied.

When applying over existing tiles ensure the tiles are well bonded. Glossy tiles should be sanded to remove the gloss finish.

When installing over old flooring/coatings Sika® recommends mechanical abrasion (sanding/grinding) be carried out to achieve fresh non-contaminated surface, with coating having a minimum pull off strength of 1.5MPa. This is to be followed by a thorough clean prior to installing Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact & subsequent Sika® products.

Mixing: Sikafloor®-14 Prep N Prime Impact is premixed, however stirring the product prior to use is recommended.

Application: Apply a single coat with a paint brush or medium nap paint roller to provide a continuous coating to the substrate. Allow primer to dry and harden prior to flooring, levelling, tiling or subsequent coatings.

Cleaning of equipment: Tools and equipment can be cleaned with water prior to the material drying. Dried product shall require mechanical removal.
