Sikalastic®-220 FS
Sikalastic®-220 FS is a 100 % solids, epoxy binder used to protect Sikalastic®-390 Membrane and to provide durable antiskid surface properties by broadcasting oven-dried, quartz sand into the binder.
- Low-modulus epoxy technology provides durable, yet flexible wear course and topcoat protection over elastomeric membrane
- Fast-setting cure reduces valuable wait times during installation
- Creates high impact visual colour effect contributing to improved safety, aesthetics and traffic control
- Unlimited colours. No batch minimum required
- Convenient easy mix ratio A:B = 1:1 by volume
- Resistant to chlorides, oil, gasoline and other chemicals
- Contribution to LEED® credits
Usage
- Suitable wear course over Sikalastic®-390 Membrane as part of the Sikalastic®-3900 Traffic System
- Multi-storey parking decks and ramps
- Interior foot bridges and walkways
- Interior stadium and arena surfaces

Consumption
1.6 - 2.2 m2/L (65 - 90 ft2/US gal) at 18 - 25 mil w.f.t. per coat
Note: Typically, one (1) coat is required in parking stalls, two (2) coats in all other areas.
Actual coverage rates and material consumption will depend upon porosity and profile of the substrate. Test areas are recommended to establish correct coverage rates. Special colours (ex. : red and yellow) may require increased thickness to achieve uniform opacity.
MIXING
Pre-mix each component of Sikalastic®-220 FS separately.
Empty component B in the correct mix ratio into the component A container. Mix the combined components for three (3) minutes at low-speed (300–450 rpm), to minimize air entrapment, using a drill fitted with an Exomixer® type mixing paddle (recommended model) suited to the volume of the mixing container. During the mixing operation, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once, to ensure complete mixing. When completely mixed, Sikalastic®-220 FS should be uniform in colour and consistency.
Mix only that quantity of product that can be used within its pot life.
APPLICATION
Sikalastic®-220 FS is versatile enough to accommodate the various common field methods employed by deck membrane application professionals. System builds and thicknesses will vary depending on project specifications and traffic zones. Refer to Sikalastic®-3900 System Data Sheet and Specification Guide for further system details.
Application typically involves the use of flat or notched squeegees to evenly spread the material immediately after mixing. Backrolling is then used to achieve uniform required thickness in advance of oven-dried quartz sand broadcast. Additional back rolling is required to encapsulate sand in final topcoats.
Allow wear course to cure between 8 to 36 hours before opening to traffic.
CLEAN UP
Uncured material can be removed from equipment and tools using Sika Cleaning Wipes or a solvent, such as xylene. Strictly follow solvent manufacturer’s warnings and instructions for use. Cured material can only be removed manually or mechanically.
