Sikagard® PW AE

Epoxy resin with special fillers

12 months from date of production

Store in unopened, undamaged and sealed original packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +10 °C and +30 °C. Protect from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.

~1.60 kg/l (mixed A+B, at +25 °C)

~100 %

Resistant to many chemicals. Please contact Sika Technical Department for specific information.

(A : B) = (5.67 : 1) by weight

Minimum two coats, each minimum 250 microns thick.

+5 °C min. / +40 °C max.

< 80 %

Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Note: Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.

+5 °C min. / +40 °C max.

< 4 % pbw moisture content.
Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).

~30 min. (25 °C)

~0.4 kg/m² for a layer- of dry film hickness (DFT) of ~250 microns.
This figure is theoretical and does not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and
wastage etc..

• The substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm²) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm²
• The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc.
• Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface.
• Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blow holes and voids must be fully exposed.
• Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes / voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials.
• All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush or vacuum. 
• Steel surfaces maybe primed using a suitable anticorrosion primer.

Prior to mixing stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has been added to part A mix continuously for 3 minutes until an uniform mixed has been achieved. Use a low speed electrical stirrer (300 - 400 rpm) to avoid air entrapment. To ensure proper mixing pour material into a clean container and stir again. Apply by brush, roller or airless spray.
Further coats and lamination may be applied to enhance the protective performance of the system.

Tools and equipment should be cleaned with Sika® Thinner immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
