SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be between 40º F (4º C) to 90º F (32º C) and structurally sound (deflection not to exceed 1⁄360 of the span), dry, clean, and free from oil, grease, wax, paint, old adhesives, sealers, and curing compounds. Any contaminates which inhibit proper bond must be removed. Substrate preparation should be completed following ANSI A108 AN-2 “General Requirements for Sub-surfaces”. All substrates should be plumb and true, surface deviation should not exceed 1⁄4" in 10’. Patching, leveling, or areas requiring a mortar bed should be prepared using SikaLevel® Underlayments. Movement (Expansion) joints should be provided to comply with TCNA method EJ171. Concrete must be free of any negative hydrostatic pressure and/or excessive moisture.
