• The substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm²) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm².
• The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, 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 and surface defects such as blow holes 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.
• All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush or vacuum.

Prior to mixing stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A mix continuously for 3 minutes until an uniform mixed has been achieved. Use a low speed electrical stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) to avoid air entrapment. To ensure thorough mixing, pour materials into a clean container and mix again for at least 1,0 minute to achieve a smooth consistent mix. Excessive mixing must be avoided to minimise
air entrainment. During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a straight edge trowel or spatula at least once to ensure complete mixing. Mix full units only.

Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture content, relative air humidity, dew point, substrate, air and product temperatures.
Apply Sikagard®-62 onto the prepared substrate evenly using a roller, brush or airless spray at the required consumption rate.

Clean all tools with Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
