SikaWall®-485 MS

Organic Content: < 5 %

12 months in its original, unopened pail

Store protected, in dry conditions, at temperatures between 5 °C to 30 °C. Do not expose to direct sunlight and heat. Close the opened packaging well. If there is paint left over, the remaining amount should be transferred into smaller containers to keep the air content as low as possible. Protect from freezing. If the product has frozen, do not use.

SikaWall®-485 MS can be applied in two or three layers mixed to the desired ratio with SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution. The combination of these products makes it possible to obtain the most varied translucent effects.  For wider range of design options, SikaWall®-485 MS can also be use over SikaWall®-485 MP paint. 

Refer to the “Substrate Quality / Pre-treatment” section for the different product combinations.

12 months in tightly closed container

The product will be dry to the touch within 1 to 3 hours.  After application the surface must be protected from strong winds and sun until the product is dry (3-6 hours), it must also be protected from rain until the end of the cure which lasts between 12 at 36 hours depending on temperature and humidity. 

It is necessary to calculate a minimum of 24 hours between each coat.

Undiluted:
 Approximately 37 m² to 58 m² (398 ft² to 625 ft²) per 3.78 L (1 US gal) per coat of SikaWall®-485 MS. 

Diluted:

With SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution (dilution rate of 1:1)
Approximately 74 m² to 116 m² (796 ft² to 1250 ft²) per 3.78 L (1 US gal)  per coat of SikaWall®-485 MS with SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution. 
The consumption values given are for guidance and depend on the desired translucent effect, application method and substrate condition.

Exact values may only be determined by an actual trial application on site. Refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet (PDS) for each SikaWall®-485 products for more consumption references.

SikaWall®-485 MP paint can be applied by:

• Brush: Use an Oval lasur brush 
• Roller: Use 13 mm to 19 mm (½ in to ¾ in) nap synthetic roller cover 
• Sprayer: Use an Airless Paint Sprayer

For spray applications, contact spray equipment specialists to determine suitable equipment and for application advice.

If the product is applied by airless sprayer, it is recommended to back roll the surface after application.

It is recommended to apply the basecoat with a brush, roller, to allow complete coverage on the surface. 

Mix SikaWall®-485 MS to ensure uniformity using a slow speed (300 - 450 rpm) drill fitted with a Jiffy-style paddle. Mix for about three (3) to five (5) minutes until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. 

If it is planned to use SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution as a diluent with SikaWall®-485 MS, mix each product separately using a drill firstly. Then add SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution to SikaWall®-485 MS and stir all materials together. Mixing ratios from 1:1 up to 1:20 are common but higher dilution ratios are possible.  Dilutions at any ratio are possible. Always have accurately measured materials.

Stirred regularly in its container before and during application to avoid segregation of constituents.

For opaque result: 
It is recommended to mix SikaWall®-485 MS with SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution at a ratio from 1:1 up to 1:4. 

For transparent result:
 It is recommended to mix SikaWall®-485 MS with SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution at a ratio from 1:5 up to 1:20. But higher dilution ratios are possible.  

Usually, two (2) or three (3) coats of SikaWall®-485 MS mixed in the desired ratio with SikaWall®-485 MS Dilution will be necessary to obtain the desired result. It is important to work swiftly ‘’wet-on-wet’’ and to always maintain a wet edge to a corner or architectural feature. It is important to keep stirring regularly in its container before and during application to avoid segregation of constituents. For spray applications, contact spray equipment specialists to determine suitable equipment and for application advice. 

IMPORTANT NOTE :  Always carry out an application test in an inconspicuous to verify substrate conditions and to  confirm application method, consumption rate, coverage and satisfactory opacity and finish. Best practice suggests that the selected area is acceptable to all parties involved and that it is representative of the area to be eventually stained.

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Once dried/cured, material can only be removed mechanically.
