CURE MECHANISM
The curing of Sikafloor® Marine-570 takes place by a chemical reaction of the two components.
Higher temperatures speed up and lower temperatures slow down the curing process.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
For advice on chemical resistance contact the Technical Department of Sika Industry.
Application
Surface preparation
Sikafloor® Marine-570 is installed on top of the primary deck covering.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from the surface before application of Sikafloor® Marine-570. The application area must be protected against weather to fulfill referenced substrate and climatic conditions.
If IMO is required, get in contact with Sika to choose an appropriate combination of the Sika Marine-Deco System.
Application
Sikafloor® Marine-570 is poured and spread evenly by means of a notched trowel or pin-rake. In critical areas a spike roller can be used to improve levelling. For deeper sections (e.g. unevenness), it might be necessary to pre-level these in advance and let it cure first before finishing. Always consider the pot life to keep a wet edge.
Prior to application, always consult the most current corresponding Application Manual.
Curing
Indications regarding curing details see table below.
| Tempera- | Foot traffic | Light traffic | Full cure |
| 10 °C | 24 hours | 48 hours | 72 hours |
| 20 °C | 18 hours | 24 hours | 60 hours |
| 30 °C | 16 hours | 18 hours | 48 hours |
Removal
Uncured Sikafloor® Marine-570 can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner or another suitable solvent. Once cured, 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.
Application limits
Freshly applied Sikafloor® Marine-570 must be protected from damp, condensation and water for at least 5 days. Uncured material reacts in contact with water (foaming).
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Sikafloor® Marine-570 (B) has to be kept between 5 °C and 30 °C in a dry place. Do not expose it to direct sunlight. After opening of the packaging, the contents need to be protected against moisture. Minimum temperature during transportation is 5 °C.
