These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to
surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc. The excess of
quartz sand or paint flakes has to be removed before applying the seal or top coat.
*The colour of the used quartz sand has to correspond to the colour of the Sealer
coat
Overworking with tiles is also possible.
For priming metal parts on a balcony please use SikaCor EG-Phosphat or SikaCor
EG-Phosphat Rapid.

Substrate Quality
The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength
2
2
(minimum 25 N/mm ) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm .
The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil,
grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.
Old coating and tiles have to be solid, adherent and free of layers detrimental to
adhesion. Existing layer has to be cleaned and mechanically roughened. A test
area has to be applied.
Substrate Preparation
Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning
or grinding equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured
surface.
Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids
must be fully exposed.
Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must 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 in order to achieve
an even surface.
High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
Solid and good adherent tiles must be grinded and then levelled with a scratch coat
of Sikafloor -156 / -161 before applying the chosen Sika Balcony System.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces
before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.
Application
Conditions /
Limitations
Substrate Temperature
+2C min. / +30C max.
Frozen substrates must defrost for 24 hours.
Ambient Temperature
+2C min. / +30C max.
Substrate Moisture
Content
Visible damp free (maximum 18% wood moisture equivalent).
< 6% pbw moisture content Test method: Sika -Tramex meter,
< 4% CM - measurement or Oven-dry-method.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene sheet).
Relative Air Humidity
80% r.h. max.
35% min. (below +20C: 45% min.)
Dew Point
Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3C above dew point to reduce
the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Application
Instructions
Mixing Time
Standard:
Prior slightly stir Sikafloor -415 mechanically before using.
Accelerated:
Prior slightly stir Sikafloor -415 mechanically. Then add the Sika PU Accelerator
complete (60 grams unit for 5 l of Sikafloor -415) and stir until a uniform mix has
been achieved.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrapment.
Mixing Tools
Sikafloor -415 must be thoroughly mixed using a low speed electric stirrer
(300 - 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.

Application Method /
Tools
Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, r.h. and dew point.
First and second coat:
Can be applied by medium pile solvent resistant roller.
Sealer coat:
Seal coats must be applied by squeegee and then back-rolled (crosswise) with a
medium pile solvent resistant roller.
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.
Potlife
The material in opened containers should be applied immediately. With open
containers surface film formation will happen within 1 - 2 hours.
High temperatures and high air humidity will accelerate curing significantly.
Waiting Time /
Overcoating
Notes on Application /
Limitations
Before applying Sikafloor -415 on Sika -Concrete Primer allow:
At 20C:
Dry to touch 10 minutes
Dry through 30 minutes
Apply an additional coat if more than 5 days pass before coating
If necessary another coat of Sikafloor -415 can be applied within 24 hours after the
application of the previous coat.
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions
particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Prior to overcoating with Sikafloor -415, the priming coats must have cured tackfree.
Do not use for interior applications.
Always apply during falling temperatures. If applied during rising temperatures
pin holing may occur from rising air.
If this is not possible and the substrate seems to be outgasing the use of Sika
Concrete Primer is necessary. Please refer to the Product Data Sheet of Sika
Concrete Primer.
The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service
life and reflective cracking.
For exact colour matching, ensure the Sikafloor -415 in each area is applied from
the same control batch numbers.
If heating is required do not use gas, oil, paraffin or other fossil fuel heaters, these
produce large quantities of both CO2 and H2O water vapour, which may adversely
affect the finish. For heating use only electric powered warm air blower systems.
