FAQs

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage rates vary based on the thickness applied. Refer to the product data sheet for specific information.

Can I use this product outdoors?

No, Sikafloor®-125 Level Flex is designed for internal use only.

What is the pot life of the mixed compound?

The pot life is relatively short, so mix only what you can apply within the recommended time. See product data for details.

Can I apply multiple coats?

Yes, multiple coats can be applied to achieve the desired level. Allow each coat to cure before applying the next.

What type of floor coverings can I use with Sikafloor®-125 Level Flex?

It is compatible with various coverings, including tiles, carpet, and vinyl. Always consult the floor covering manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility.

How do I clean up after application?

Clean tools and spills immediately with water before the compound dries.

What safety precautions should I take?

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing. Consult the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.

Troubleshooting

Compound not leveling properly.

Ensure the product is mixed correctly and that the application is within the recommended thickness range. Check for drafts or uneven subfloor.

Cracking or splitting of the cured compound.

Ensure proper surface preparation and priming. Avoid applying the compound too thickly in a single coat. Temperature fluctuations during curing can also cause this; try and maintain a consistent temperature.

Slow drying time.

Ensure adequate ventilation and check the ambient temperature and humidity levels. Lower temperatures and higher humidity will extend drying times.

Poor adhesion to the substrate.

Make sure the surface is properly prepared, primed, and free from contaminants. Check compatibility with the substrate.
