Usage

Priming coat for concrete and dense mineral substrates like fibre cement, aerated concrete, gypsum and thin rendering such as Sika® MonoTop®-723 N, Icoment-520 etc. Sikagard®-552 W Aquaprimer can also be used as a primer on firmly adhering existing water based coatings or under cement resurfacing mortar to improve the adhesion in case of concrete surface treated with hydrophobic impregnation. Sikagard®-552 W Aquaprimer is part of a system:
  • Suitable for protection against ingress (Principle 1, method 1.3 of EN 1504-9),
  • Suitable for moisture control (Principle 2, method 2.3 of EN 1504-9)
  • Suitable for increasing the resistivity (Principle 8, method 8.3 of EN 1504-9)
 

Advantages

  • Water dispersed - solvent-free
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Water vapour permeable
  • Can be used as an adhesion promoter for coating or cement based resurfacing mortar

Application

Application Information

Ambient Air Temperature

+8 °C min. / +35 °C max.

Relative Air Humidity

< 80 %

Dew Point

Substrate and ambient temperature must be at least 3 °C above dew point.

Substrate Temperature

+8 °C min. / +35 °C max.

Waiting Time / Overcoating

Waiting time before coating:

Substrate temperature

Time

+8 °C

12 hours

+20 °C

5 hours

+35 °C

2.5 hours

Note: When application is on existing coating, waiting time prior to overcoat the primer will increase by 100%.

Use only water dispersed coating systems on top of Sikagard®-552 W Aquaprimer.

When used as primer under cement based resurfacing mortar, apply the mortar when the primer is still tacky. If the primer has dried out completely, re-apply 1 coat

Curing Treatment

Sikagard®-552 W Aquaprimer does not require any special curing but must be protected from rain for at least 30 minutes at +20 °C.
Consumption

Consumption

~0.10–0.12 kg/m2   (~8–10 m2 per litre) dependent on the absorbency of the substrate.
