SikaLevel®-564

Mortar modified with polymer

9 months from date of production if store properly in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging

Store in dry conditions at temperatures between +18 °C and +35 °C. Protect from moisture, direct sunlight and frost. Store out of direct sunlight, clear of the ground on pallets protected from rainfall.

*) Tested using 3.25 L of water/25 kg bag

*) Tested using 3.25 L of water/25 kg bag

3.25 to 3.50 L of water per 25 kg bag dependent on the desired consistency.

+10 °C to +35 °C

Suitable for overcoating with impermeable moisture sensitive floors normally reached after 3 – 7 days, depend on the substrate requirement of the topping.

*at +25 °C and 70 % r.h.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing substrate and ambient conditions, particularly the temperature and relative humidity.

2.5 - 5 h

The consumption depends, on the floor profile. On a normal flat surface, typical consumption of SikaLevel®-564 powder is 22 - 23 kg/m² per 10 mm thickness.

• The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (min. 25 N/mm²) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm².

• The substrate must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free of all contaminants e.g. dirt, oils, grease, coatings and surface treatments etc.
• Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface.
• Weak concrete must be removed.
• All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by vacuum cleaner.
• The substrate can be in a SSD condition, but there must be no rising moisture prior to the dampening operation, according to ASTM D 4263 (Polyethylene-sheet test).
• Use Sikadur®-732 as epoxy based bonding agent.
• If in doubt apply a test area first.

Using Hand mixer :

Put appropriate quantity of clean water (depend on the desired flow) into a mixing vessel. Add slowly the total content mortar of SikaLevel®-564 while mixing. Mix continuously for 2 - 3 minutes until lumps free. Use a mechanically low speed drill (400–600 rpm) with mixing paddle.

Note: SikaLevel®-564 should be used immediately after mixing.

Areas to be placed with SikaLevel®-564 should be protected from wind and direct sunlight to avoid rapid drying.

Mixed material have to be poured immediately. Place by pouring and spread by trowel, for large areas the usage of formwork and mortar screeder is recommended.

After pouring, protect SikaLevel®-564 effectively for at least 9–10 hours after laying from drying out by direct sunlight and wind, spillage, dust, insects, animals, following trades, traffic, etc. Need wet cure for a minimum 3 days with wet hessian, plastic sheet or apply a curing compound (Antisol S).

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
