Chapdur -(Sikafloor –3 QuartzTop)

®

Non Metallic Floor Hardener

Description A ready to use mixture of cement, pigments, additives and hard aggregate of
mineral origin. The particles have been specially selected for their shape, grading,
Construction

high physical quality and mechanical performance.

Uses Chapdur is added to slab surface to improve their resistance to abrasion and inhibit
dust formation.
Chapdur is suitable for all floor exposed to severe mechanical wear for example:
„ Warehouse
„ Quays
„ Traffic lanes
„ Engineering workshop
„ Car-parks
„ Service stations
„ Garage etc.

Advantages „ High resistance to abrasion

„ Reduce surface dust
„ Improves resistance to impact
„ Improves resistance to oils and greases
„ Intrinsic colouring
„ Easy application, Chapdur is sprinkled onto the freshly placed concrete
„ Even finish obtainable when properly smoothed

Coverage Average consumption : 3 kg to 6 kg per m2, depend on job requirement

Light duty : 3 kg/ m2
2
Medium duty : 4-5 kg/ m
2
Heavy duty : 6 kg/ m
Yielding a surface strengthening coat of approx 2-3 mm thickness
Instruction for Use
Surface Preparation The concrete slab should be at least 15 cm thick, the concrete should contain an
adequate proportion of cement. It is recommended to add a suitable Sika concrete
admixture to improve its properties (e.g. Sikament)
Level the freshly poured concrete by means of a vibrating beam. As soon as the
plasticity permits, smooth the concrete preferably by using a mechanical trowel.

Broad casting of The concrete slab is ready for the Chapdur cement coating when a thumb pressed
Chapdur Premix hard onto the surface only leaves a print of about 3-5 mm depth. Broadcast the mix
evenly by hand or with suitable device.

Compaction Wait until the Chapdur has been evenly moistened by the water in the concrete,
Use a low rpm mechanical trowel, held perfectly flat.

Note : If parts of the surface come loose or if the laitance rises, this means the
concrete is still too fresh

 Smoothing As soon as the plasticity or initial set allows, perform preliminary smoothing with the
same machine running at low speed but equipped with metal smoothing blades, set
at minimum angle.
Any final smoothing required should be performed later with the machine running at
high speed.

Curing The Chapdur surface must be protected to prevent early dry-out, crazing and
bloom.
Therefore suitable curing system shall be applied on the concrete.

Joints Construction joints, expansion joints and floor joints should be saw-cut only after 24
hours. When the slab has hardened, the joints can be filled with the appropriate
Sikaflex Sealant in accordance with the floor requirements

Curing Time Foot traffic : 1 – 2 days

For light vehicle traffic : 7 – 10 days
