Description
Sikafloor®-3 QuartzTop
Sikafloor®-3 QuartzTop is a mineral dry shake hardener for concrete comprising of cement, specially selected quartz mineral aggregates and admixtures
- Medium wear resistance rating
- Impact resistance
- Cost effective surface hardener
Usage
Sikafloor®-3 QuartzTop provides a hard wearing, mineral dry shake topping for monolithic floors. When sprinkled and trowelled into fresh wet concrete floors, it forms a wear resistant smooth surface.
Suitable for use in all cases where floors are subjected to severe mechanical wear and there is a need to apply special hard wearing surface coverings, such as:
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Shopping malls
- Public areas
- Restaurants
- Museums
- Parking lots
- Garages and Service stations
Advantages
- Medium wear resistance rating
- Impact resistance
- Cost effective surface hardener
- Dust proof
- Fast application
- Easy cleaning
- Increased resistance to oils and grease
- Quality assured factory blending
- Wide range of colors

Consumption
Light Duty 3.5–4.0 kg/m2 Medium Duty 4.5–5.0 kg/m2 Heavy Duty 5.5–6.0 kg/m2 - The consumption will depend on application method and the concrete mix (w/c-ratio). This figure does not allow for surface profile and wastage.
CURING TREATMENT
Cure and seal Sika floor®-3 Quartz Top immediately after finishing using using a curing compound, (Name of the curing compound to add; Refer to relevant Product Data Sheet). The sealers additionally harden the surface, decrease dust and reduce liquid absorption.
Joints: After finishing operations and completing saw cuts, clean off any residual saw lubricant / slurry without delay. Joints can be filled with an appropriate Sikaflex® sealant in accordance with the floor design requirements.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the floor after application, Sika floor®-3 Quartz Top must have all spillages removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned using rotary brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber dryer, high pressure washer, wash and vacuum techniques, etc., using suitable detergents and waxes.
