Sikagard®-6220 S
Sprayable, high penetrating cavity wax in aerosol can
Sikagard®-6220 S is an amber colored, easy to use, durable wax in an aerosol can with very good rust-proofing properties. It is suitable for an effective protection against corrosion in vehicle body cavities and convinces with very good application properties and final performance. Thanks to its very high creep capability, it well protects even hardly accessible areas and tight sheet intervals.
After drying, a brown, slightly sticky wax coating remains that protects cavity areas from corrosion.
- Shake and Spray - equipment independent (aerosol)
- Very good creep capability making easy application even at colder temperatures
- Excellent film building properties
- Outstanding water displacing
- Easy to use
- Road salt resistant
- Permanently elastic
- Heat resistant

The above information is offered for general guidance only. Advice on specific applications will be given on request.
Application
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of rust, dust and grease. Bare metal must be pre-treated to enhance corrosion resistance (e.g. uncoated steel, etc).
Application
Shake can approx. 40 times before use. Cover adjacent surfaces prior the spray process. Hold the can in an upright position, spray at room temperature and from a distance of approx. 25 cm on the surface or in the cavities. To reach cavities use the additional actuator with flexible hose. Use the existing or drill access points in the car body.
Spray a continuous coat. Do not spray on parts of the brake, engine or exhaust system.
After use, invert can and spray in short bursts to clear nozzle.
Due to the flammable propellant ventilate the cavities during the drying time or before closing the cavities.
Removal
Uncured Sikagard®-6220 S can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once dried, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin shall be washed immediately using hand wipes such as Sika® Cleaner-350H or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water.
Do not use solvents on skin.
Overpainting
Sikagard®-6220 S cannot be overpainted.
