Best Uses

Sikacor EG5 is for use by experienced professionals only.

Also suitable for line marking on Sikafloor® resins and for submerged steel.

By adding 1 % b.w. SikaCor® PUR Accelerator (see product data sheet for more information) a fast touch and thorough drying will be achieved. Approved to German standard TL/TP-KOR-Stahlbauten.

Application

Steel:
Blast cleaning to Sa 2 ½ according to ISO 12944, part 4. Free from dirt, oil and grease.

Galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminium:
Free from dirt, oil, grease and corrosion products. In case of permanent immersion and condensation the surfaces must be slightly sweep blasted with non-ferrous abrasives.

For contaminated surfaces e.g. galvanized or primed areas we recommend cleaning with SikaCor® Wash.

The method of application has a major effect on achieving uniform thickness and appearance. Spray application will give the best results. The indicated dry film thickness is easily achieved by airless spray. Adding solvents reduces the sag resistance and the dry film thickness. In case of application by roller or brush, additional applications may become necessary to achieve the required coating thickness, depending on type of construction, site conditions, colour shade etc. Prior to major coating operations a test application on site may be useful to ensure the selected application method will provide the requested results.
