Technical Information

CURE MECHANISM

The curing of Sikafloor® Marine-595 takes place by a chemical reaction of the two components.
Higher temperatures speed up and lower temperatures slow down the curing process.

Application

Application Information

Surface preparation

Sikafloor® Marine-595 is installed on top of the deck levelling compound.
Metallic decks need to be prepared to SA 2.5 (ISO 8501). Aluminum decks must not be shot blasted. The prepared metallic surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt, grease, oil and loose particles before the SikaCor® ZP Primer is applied.
The application area must be protected against weather and direct sunlight.

Application

Sikafloor® Marine-595 is poured and spread evenly by means of a notched trowel, flat trowel or pin-rake. In critical areas a spike roller can be used to improve levelling and de-airing. For deeper sections (e.g. unevenness), it might be necessary to pre-level these sections. Ensure the pre-leveled sections have achieved "foot traffic" cure level prior to proceeding.

 

For liquid application on cambers and slopes multiple applications steps may be needed. Curing speed depends on temperature and layer thickness. Always consider the pot life to keep a wet edge.
Prior to application, always consult the most current Application Manual.

Removal

Uncured Sikafloor® Marine-595 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-595 must be protected from moisture, condensation and water for at least 1 day. Uncured material reacts in contact with water (foaming).

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Both components of Sikafloor® Marine-595 have 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.
