Application

Application Information

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 equipment 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 spray 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.
