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
Sikagard®-6060 can be applied by light airless spray equipments or by air-mix guns with an air pressure of approx. 3 - 6 bar. Use either the Sika® SCP Gun (pressure cup type) or the Sika® UBC Gun (vacuum type) to apply the product.
Shake can approx. 40 times before use. Cover adjacent surfaces prior the spray process. Spray at room temperature and from a distance of approx. 25 cm in an grid motion to build up a continuous coat.
Sikagard®-6060 can be applied without dripping. If a thick layer is required, let layers dry in between. A wide variety of texture can be achieved by altering the spay technique.
Do not spray on parts of the brake, engine or exhaust system.
Removal
Uncured Sikagard®-6060 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®-6060 cannot be overpainted.
