CURE MECHANISM
Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red cures by chemical reaction between the two components.
Application
Surface Preparation
The surface has to be clean, free from dust, grease, oils and other substances, which may impair adhesion. Rust has to be removed with a steel brush or other appropriate means, followed by vacuum cleaning.
Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red applications on aluminum or zinc rich shop primer coated decks, require a tie coat of SikaCor® ZP Primer or another suitable tie coat.
Application
Pour the mixed Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red on the deck. Do not empty the bucket by put it up-sidedown on the deck. Pour it until almost empty and empty the rest into the component A of the next mix.
Apply the mixed product with an appropiate notched trowel in order to get a layer thickness of 1 ─ 2 mm. Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red has to be applied within 15 minutes after mixing. At temperatures above 30 °C the open time will be reduced significantely.
If steel plates have to be embedded consult the Application Manual for Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red. In case of vertical application refer to the Application Manual for Sikafloor ® Marine PK-90 Steel Vertical.
Do not use Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red at temperature below 5 °C.
Removal
Uncured Sikafloor® Marine PU-Red may be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically.
Exposed hands and skin shall be washed immediately using Sika® Handclean towel or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Use a suitable skin protection hand cream.
