Sika® Thinner EGIf necessary max. 5% Sika® Thinner EG may be added to adapt the viscosity.

Min. + 0°C

Max. 85 %, except the surface temperature is significantly higher than the dew point temperature, it shall be at least 3 K above dew point.The surface must be dry and free from ice.

Min. until drying stage 6 is achieved

Max. 1 year

In case of longer waiting times please contact Sika.

SikaCor® EG Phosphat Rapid cures also at low temperatures below 0 °C.

The revision intervals delayed significantly and have to be determined on site.

Make sure that all contamination is removed before overcoating with topcoats (see below: surface preparation).

Final drying time Depending on film thickness and temperature full hardness is achieved after 1 - 2 weeks. Tests of the completed coating system should only be carried out after final curing.

Theoretical material-consumption/VOC without loss for medium dry film thickness:

With SikaCor® EG Phosphat Rapid up to 120 μm dry film thickness per application can be achieved by airless spraying.

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

For contaminated and weathered surfaces we recommend to clean with SikaCor® Wash

Stir component A very thoroughly using an electric mixer (start slowly, then increase up to approx. 300 rpm). Add component B carefully and mix both components very thoroughly (including sides and bottom of the container). Mix for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Fill mixed material into clean container and mix again shortly as described above. During mixing and handling of the materials always wear protective goggles, suitable gloves and other protective clothings.

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.By brush and rollerConventional high pressure spraying:

• Nozzle size 1.5 - 2.5 mm
• Pressure 3 - 5 bar
• Oil and water trap is compulsory

Airless-spraying:

• Pressure min. 180 bar
• Nozzle size 0.38 - 0.53 mm (0.015 - 0.021 inch)
• Spraying angle 40°- 80°
