Waiting time to overcoating
Apply Sikalastic® P 616 within 4 hours of blasting, before re-oxidation.
Before applying any recommended Sikalastic® roofing system allow:
Temperature | Touch dry | Overcoating time | Pot life |
15 °C | ~3 h | ~16 h | ~3 h |
25 °C | ~2 h | ~14 h | ~2 h |
35 °C | ~1 h | ~12 h | ~1 h |
Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Consumption
Apply in one or two coats, with a consumption of approx. 0.15 l/m2 (~0.20 kg/m2) per coat.
Note: These consumption figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
The surfaces must be clean, dry, free of stripping agents and free of oil, grease, silanes, salts, silicone, siloxanes and other chemicals which could cause poor adhesion.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
All surfaces to be coated should be thoroughly cleaned by conventional means.
Steel is ideally prepared by shot blasting to Sa 21/2 or SSPC 10 (nearly white metal). Where blasting is not
permitted then clean metal preparation by power tools is acceptable.
Non-ferrous metals are prepared by removing deposits of dust and oxidation and abrade to white metal.
Wire brushing can be used on soft metals, i.e. copper.
Ensure that surfaces are free from visible dampness and that all dust, loose and friable material is completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.
If in doubt apply a test area first.
For detailed information regarding substrate quality / preparation and primer chart please refer to Method Statement.
MIXING
Prepare Sikalastic® P 616 by stirring component A until uniform, add component B and mix by electric drill until a homogeneous colour is achieved and the product is free of streaks.
APPLICATION
Sikalastic® P 616 can be applied by short-piled roller, brush or airless spray.
Allow primer to dry sufficiently (see table waiting time / overcoating) before overcoating.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with suitable thinning solvents (Xylene / MEK / Acetone), immediately after use. Hardened and / or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
