Repair Mortar: Sika MonoTop -612 (5 – 30mm layer thickness)
Application Details
Consumption /Dosage Volume yield: 12 litres per 25kg bag
Substrate Quality The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength
(min.20 N/mm² (MPa) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm² (MPa)).
The surface must be dry and free of all contaminants such as oils, grease, coatings
and surface treatments etc.
The substrate must be prepared mechanically to remove cement laitance and
achieve a profile open textured surface.
Weak concrete should be removed and surface defects such as honeycombed
areas; blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
Repairs to substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling should be
carried out using the appropriate product from the Sikafloor®, SikaDur® and
SikaGard® range of products.
Substrate Preparation / Precise and efficient surface preparation is essential to achieve the high
Priming ® ®
adhesive qualities of Sika MonoTop .
The concrete substrate must be sound, clean and free from oils, grease or surface
contaminants. All loose materials and surface laitance must be removed by high
pressure water jet blasting or similar mechanical means. Small areas and ‘spot’
repairs should be mechanically prepared by needle gunning, bush-hammering or
similar means.
The prepared substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water until
uniformly saturated, leaving no standing water. Apply Sika® MonoTop®-610 as
the bonding bridge.
Steel reinforcement should be grit blasted to a bright steel condition to remove all
traces of rust and contamination prior to applying Sika® MonoTop®-610 corrosion
protection.

Application
Instructions
Mixing (Ratio/Dosage) 3,0 - 3,5 litres water per 25kg powder (depending on application).
®
Pour clean water in the correct proportion into a clean mixing vessel. Add the Sika
MonoTop®-612 slowly while mixing continuously. To avoid entraining too much air
use a slow speed mixer (max. 500 rpm) for minimum of 3 minutes. By gradually
adding the powder in portions, the desired application consistency can be obtained.
®
Application Method / Thoroughly wet the substrate to a saturated surface dry condition. Apply Sika
Tools MonoTop®-612 by the wet spray method. It can also be applied wet on wet by hand
with a trowel or spatula onto the Sika® MonoTop®-610 bonding bridge. For depths
greater than 30mm thick, Sika® MonoTop®-612 should be applied in layers.
In this case, as soon as the material has reached initial set, the surface should be
given an open texture by rubbing with a wooden or plastic float prior to application
® ®
of the next layer. Use Sika MonoTop -610 bonding bridge for day joints and
between layers if they are left to cure for more than 24 hours.

If a finer surface finish is required or a protective coating is to be applied,

® ® ®
Sika MonoTop -612 can be overcoated with Sika MonoTop -620 surface leveling
compound as required.
Cleaning of Tools
Application and mixing tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use.
Hardened material must be removed mechanically.
®
Waiting Time / Sika MonoTop®-612 must be kept moist while curing and protected from sunshine
Overcoatability and extremes of temperature. Standard concrete curing practice is recommended.
Notes on Application / Freshly applied Sika® MonoTop®-612 should be protected from damp,
Limits condensation and water for at least 12 hours.
Concrete should be a minimum of 28 days old.
When spray applying Sika® MonoTop® products, water jet blasting is the preferred
method of surface preparation and the surface profile should be greater than 2mm.
Sika® MonoTop®-610 should be used as a bonding slurry for hand and spray
applied applications.
When curing with polythene sheets, ensure all edges are fastened down and that
air movement/circulation over the surface of the fresh mortar cannot occur.
®
Once Sika MonoTop®-612 has started to set, it should be discarded. Do not add
more water to improve workability.
Local Restrictions Please note that as a result of specific local regulations the performances of this
product may vary from country to country. Please consult the local Product Data
Sheet for the exact description of the application fields.

Information
System Structure Levelling mortar: Sika MonoTop-620

Application Details
Consumption / Dosage Volume yield: ± 12,5 litres per 25kg bag
Substrate Quality The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (min.
20 N/mm² (MPa) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm² (MPa).
The surface must be dry and free of all contaminants such as oils, grease, coatings
and surface treatments, etc.
The substrate must be prepared mechanically to remove cement laitance and
achieve a profile open textured surface.
Weak concrete should be removed and surface defects such as honeycombed
areas, blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
Repairs to substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling should be
carried out using the appropriate product from the Sikafloor , Sikadur and
Sikagard range of materials.
Substrate Preparation / The concrete or mortar must be sound, clean, properly cured and free from oils,
Priming grease or surface contaminants. All loose materials and surface laitance must be
removed by high pressure water jet blasting or similar mechanical means. Repair
defective areas with Sika MonoTop mortars as necessary (refer to separate
Product data sheets).
The prepared substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water until
uniformly saturated, leaving no standing water.

Application
Conditions /
Limitations
Substrate Temperature Min. 5°C max.30°C

Application
Instructions
Mixing (Ratio/Dosage) 3.8 – 4.5 litres water per 25kg powder (depending on application).
Pour clean water in the correct proportion into a clean mixing vessel. Add the Sika 
MonoTop-620 slowly while mixing continuously. To avoid entraining too much air
use a slow speed mixer (max. 500 rpm) for minimum of 3 minutes. By gradually
adding the powder in portions, the desired application consistency can be obtained.

Application Method / Sika MonoTop -620 is normally applied by trowel or spatula to the pre-wetted
Tools substrate.
As soon as the mortar has started to set, it can be rubbed down with a wooden or
plastic float or sponge finished. Extra water should not be added to improve
workability once setting has started.
Sika MonoTop-620 may be over coated with Sikagard 500W, Sikagard 540W
or Sikagard 550W Elastic ZA.

 Cleaning of Tools Application and mixing tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use.
Hardened material must be removed mechanically.
Notes on Application / Avoid application in and protect freshly applied material from direct sunlight and/or
Limits strong winds.
Do not add water over the recommended dosage.
Apply only to sound, prepared substrates.
Do not add additional water during the surface finishing as this will cause
discoloration and cracking.
Protect the freshly applied material from rain or freezing.

Curing Details
Curing Treatment It is essential to cure the levelling mortar immediately after application for a
minimum of 3 days to ensure full cement hydration and to minimise cracking. I.e.
use polythene sheeting to protect it or another suitable approved curing method.
