Siks Sikabond Rapid DPM Applications:

• Damp Substrates: Prepares and seals damp concrete or screeds before flooring installation.
• Flooring Preparation: Provides a solid, moisture-resistant base before applying wood floors.
• Construction Projects: Ideal for new builds and old buildings, renovation tasks involving damp or porous surfaces.
• Adhesive Bonding: Improves adhesion of subsequent flooring adhesives.
• Industrial and Commercial Use: Perfect for large-scale flooring installations in warehouses, offices, and retail spaces.
• DIY Home Improvements: Suitable for residential flooring projects requiring professional-grade moisture control.
• Using under Self Levelling: can be used pre self levelling compound but before the last coat of rapid DPM has dried it need to be coated with a clean dry sharp sand, once fully dry all loose sand needs to be cleaned away this will leave a good key coat for the self levelling to adhere to.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Substrate: Ensure the surface is clean, free from dust, grease, and loose material.
2. Mix (if required): Follow the product instructions for mixing and preparation.
3. Apply the Primer: Use a brush, roller, to apply the primer evenly over the substrate.
4. Allow to Cure: Let the primer set according to the product’s recommended curing time.
5. Proceed with Flooring Installation: Once cured, apply adhesives, or other flooring.

5. Is this product suitable for use in areas with underfloor heating systems?
   Yes, the primer is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Its moisture-resistant properties ensure stable performance and protect the flooring from temperature fluctuations.

6. How do I determine the correct application thickness?
   The thickness required depends on the level of moisture in the substrate and the project’s specific needs. Typically, an even coat is sufficient, but for substrates with higher moisture levels, additional coats may be needed, further info in the Approximate Application rate table above.

7. Does it require mixing or preparation before use?
   Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to confirm if mixing is required. For most applications, it can be used directly from the container, simplifying the preparation process.

8. Can it be used on old concrete or screeds?
   Yes, it can be applied to both new and old concrete or screeds, provided the surface is clean, sound, and free from contaminants like oil, grease, or dust.

9. How does the rapid curing time affect project timelines?
   The rapid curing time allows you to move onto the next stage of the flooring installation process within hours, significantly reducing downtime and speeding up project completion.

10. What are the best practices for cleaning tools and equipment after application?
    Tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent or cleaning agent. Once the primer cures, it becomes difficult to remove, so prompt cleaning is essential to maintain the condition of your tools. (S&TD TIP most contractors dispose of roller sleeves and brushes as Rapid DPM is very hard to remove completely)
