Pot Life

Sikalastic®-621 TC is designed for fast curing. High temperatures combined with high air humidity will increase the curing process. Thus, material in opened containers should be applied immediately. In opened containers, the material will form a film after 1 – 2 hours approximately (+20 °C / 50 % r.h.).

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The surface must be sound, of sufficient strength, clean, dry and free of dirt, oil, grease and other contamination. Depending on the material the substrate must be primed or mechanically cleaned. Grinding may be necessary to level the surface. Suitable substrates are such as: concrete, bituminous felts and coatings, metal, brickwork, asbestos cement, ceramic tiles, wooden substrates.

For detailed information regarding substrate preparation and primer chart please refer to Method Statement.

MIXING

Mixing is not required, however if the product is settled or separated on opening, stir Sikalastic®-621 TC gently but thoroughly in order to achieve a uniform colour. Stirring gently will minimise air entrainment.

APPLICATION

Prior the application of Sikalastic®-621 TC the priming coat if used must have cured tack-free. For the Waiting Time / Overcoating please refer to the Product Data Sheet of the appropriate primer. Damageable areas (handrails etc) have to be protected with tape or plastic wrapping.

Please note, always begin with details prior to the installation of the horizontal surface.

  1. Apply first coat of Sikalastic®-601 BC. Work only so far in advance that the material stays liquid.
  2. Roll in the Sikalastic® Reemat. Overlap the Reemat a minimum 5 cm and ensure overlaps are sufficiently wet to bond both layers.
  3. The roller may require only a little extra material to keep wetted but no further significant material needs to be added at this stage.
  4. After the coat is dry enough to walk on, seal the roof area with second coat of Sikalastic®-621 TC.
  5. For SikaRoof MTC 22 apply a third coat of Sikalastic®-621 TC.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner S immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
