Application

Application Information

Surface Preparation

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of rust, dust and grease.

Metal substrates must be pre­treated in order to prevent corrosion where required (e.g. uncoated steel, etc).

Application

Shake can approx. 40 times before use. Cover adjacent surfaces prior the spray process. Hold the can in an upright position and spray at room temperature and from a distance of approx. 25 cm in an grid motion to build up a continuous coat.

Apply SikaGard®-6440 S until the desired layer thickness is reached. If a thick layer is required, let layers dry in between. Do not spray on parts of the brake, engine or exhaust system.

After use, invert can and spray in short bursts to clear nozzle.

 

Removal

Fresh SikaGard®-6440 S can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Remover-208. Once dried, the material can only be removed mechanically.

Hands and exposed skin should be washed immediately using Sika® Handclean towels or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on sikn.

Overpainting

SikaGard®-6440 S is over paintable in a dry state (after 16 hours) with commonly used conventional paint systems. Waiting time can be reduced by accelerated drying at max. 40°C. Due to the wide range of paints adhesion and compatibility tests are necessary.
