Sikafloor®-169 Professional Aggregate Resin
Sikafloor®-169 Professional Aggregate Resin
Sikafloor®-169: Professional Resin for Aggregate Flooring
The Sikafloor®-169 is not a conventional epoxy resin; it is a high transparency and low viscosity binder specifically designed to work in combination with decorative aggregates. When mixed with the right aggregates, the result is a continuous flooring with extreme mechanical strength and a "Premium" level aesthetic.
⚠️ Important Note about Aggregates
For a resin and stone system to work, the aggregate must be fully washed and oven dry.
It is essential to note that the gravels and pebbles standard for sale at Vetonek.com have not undergone the required technical washing and drying process for this application. Using aggregates with moisture or dust will cause the resin to fail.
We supply washed and dried aggregates exclusively on request. If you wish to undertake a project with Sikafloor®-169, contact us to quote the technical aggregate specifically prepared for this application.
Sikafloor®-169: One product, three decorative systems
The versatility of this binder allows for different finishes depending on the type of aggregate and the finishing process:
| System | Visual Finish | Use of Stone | Resin Consumption (% of aggregate weight) |
| Sikafloor® Terrazzo | Polished and Smooth: Continuous surface with a mirror effect. | Gravels that are cut when polished. | ~ 8% to 10% |
| Sikafloor® DecoDur | Fine Granulated: Antislip texture and aesthetic. | Colored quartz or fine sands. | ~ 5% to 7% |
| Stone Carpet | Porous / Visible: Whole stone with natural texture. | Pebbles (White, Yellow, etc). | ~ 4% to 6% |
Application Summary:
-
Terrazzo: The resin and stone mixture is poured and then polished with diamond until the surface is flat and shiny.
-
DecoDur: The resin is applied and saturated with fine quartz to create an ultra-resistant and colorful flooring.
-
Stone Carpet: The resin is mixed with clean and dry gravel (3-6mm or 6-9mm) and spread with a trowel. The pore is left open to allow drainage and showcase the natural shape of the stone.
What can be created with this system?
-
Continuous Terrazzo Floors: Ideal for hotels, airports, and corporate headquarters due to their durability and easy cleaning.
-
DecoDur Systems (Colored Quartz): Perfect for high resistance decorative floors with a homogeneous color distribution.
-
Crystal Sealing Layers: Acts as an epoxy varnish that enhances the natural shine of the stone and protects it against wear and chemicals.
-
Stone Carpets for Interiors: Offers superior hardness indoors, creating sophisticated surfaces that are ultra-resistant to intense pedestrian traffic.
Highlighted Technical Benefits
-
Non-Yellowing Transparency: Its advanced formula protects the original color of the stones (especially whites and light tones), keeping them bright for years.
-
Low Emissions (Low VOC): Complies with the strictest environmental regulations, allowing safe application in enclosed spaces (stores, museums, homes).
-
Superior Mechanical Resistance: Designed for areas with constant traffic; withstands frequent use without losing adhesion.
-
Hygiene and Sealing: By closing the pore (in sealed systems), it creates a surface that is easy to disinfect, ideal for sanitary or food sectors.

Frequently asked questions about Sika products (mortars, adhesives and sealants)
How do I know which size and quantity to buy?
Each product page includes the approximate yield or consumption (for example kg/m² or metres of bead per cartridge) in the "Technical specifications" section. Calculate the surface area or thickness of your project and multiply by that consumption to find out how many units you need. If in doubt, contact us with the measurements of your job.
Where can I find the complete technical data sheet (Product Data Sheet)?
The description of each product already includes the main technical data (strengths, setting times, application temperature, applicable standards, etc.), taken from the official Sika Spain Product Data Sheet. If you need the complete PDF data sheet or the safety data sheet (SDS), write to us and we will send it to you.
Do these products comply with European regulations (CE marking)?
Most Sika products carry the CE marking in accordance with the relevant European standard (for example EN 1504 for structural repair, EN 12004 for tile adhesives, EN 13888 for grouts or EN 15651 for sealants). The exact standard for each reference is detailed in the "Standards and certificates" section of its product page.
What protective equipment do I need to apply them?
It depends on the product: cement-based mortars and adhesives are usually irritating to skin and eyes (gloves, goggles and a mask are recommended), while polyurethane sealants and adhesives require good ventilation. Always check the safety section of the product page and its safety data sheet (SDS) before use.
How should I store these products and how long do they last unopened?
Shelf life and storage conditions (temperature, humidity, protection from light) vary depending on the type of product (cementitious, polyurethane, epoxy, etc.) and are stated on the packaging and in the data sheet of each reference. In general, it is advisable to store in a dry place, protected from frost and direct sunlight.
