Sikafloor 81 EpoCem ID

Construction

Self-Smoothing Epoxy-Cement Floor Screed

Description

Three-component, cementitious, epoxy-modified self-smoothing floor topping

Use

As a temporary moisture barrier (2 mm thick) for epoxy and polyurethane floors.

As self smoothing topping of 1.5 3 mm thickness for :
Leveling or patching concrete surfaces, both unfinished and after grinding or
planning.
EpoCem floors on non-ventilated damp substrates with low esthetic

Material consumption

Primer (depending on application)

Sika Repair/Sikafloor EpoCem Module (Comp.A+B), approx. 200-300 g/m
depending on substrate condition. This primer must be used if Sikafloor-81
EpoCem ID is being broadcast with sand in excess, or overcoated with a selflevelling floor coating on normal absorbent substrates. On porous or excessively
absorbent substrates use Sikafloor-155 WN instead.
Sikafloor-155 WN (Comp. A+B), thinned with 10% water, approx.300-500 g/m
(depending on substrate conditions)). Sikafloor -155 WN is being used when
repairing mono or vacuum-concrete, also if Sikafloor-81 EpoCem ID is applied
without sand-finish or when Sikafloor EpoCem is overcoated with the same
material.
Self-levelling floor

Sikafloor-81 EpoCem ID (Comp. A+B+C) approx. 4.5 kg/m for 2 mm layer

thickness.

Substrates preparation

The substrate must be structurally sound and free from all traces of loose material,
laitance, oil and grease. Substrates must be dry or saturated surface-dry (no
standing water). Adhesive tensile strength at least 1.5 N/mm.

Application
Conditions
Mixing instructions

Shake comp. A (while liquid) briefly, then pour into comp. B and shake vigorously
for at least 30 seconds.
Stir material before taking it from a drum.
Pour the binder mixture (A+B) into a suitable pail (approx. 30 litre capacity) and add
Comp. C, whilst mixing with an electric stirrer. Mix thoroughly for at least 3 minutes.
To repair surface irregularities and holes deeper than 3 mm, the standard
Sikafloor-81 EpoCem ID mix may be extended with dry quartz sand.

To achieve good bond of the mortar to the substrate, SikaTop-Armatec 110

EpoCem or other suitable primer must be used as a primer. (please consult Sika
Technical Service). Apply mortar wet on wet to the primer.

Application method

Apply primer by roller. Avoid the formation of puddles. (For choice of primer, please
refer to Material Consumption).
At 20 C and 75 % r.h. Sikafloor-81 EpoCem ID mix may be applied to the primed
substrate after the following minimum waiting time :
With Sika Repair/Sikafloor EpoCem Module :
1 hr.
With Sikafloor-155 WN :
12 hrs.

Construction

Sikafloor 81 EpoCem ID must be evenly spread with suitable rubber or metal

trowel and immediately rolled with spiked roller to remove entrapped air and to
obtain an even layer thickness. Workability may be adjusted by slightly varying the
Comp. C content (see mixing ratio)

Cleaning of tools

Clean all tools with water immediately after use. Once cured, Sikafloor-81 EpoCem
ID must be removed mechanically.
