• High bond strength.
• Low tensile modulus.
• Higher tensile elongation.
• Potential for LEED® Canada credits.
• Meets the requirements of CFIA and USDA for use in food plants.

Colour

Transluscent Red (after mixing)

Packaging

Unit of 18 L (4.7 US gal.)

Use

• Provides additional protection for metal substrates subject to severe environments.
• Suitable for interior and exterior applications.
• High performance epoxy primer for metal substrates used in combination withcompatible Sikafloor^® and Sikagard^® epoxy and polyurethane coatings.

Characteristics and Advantages

• Excellent adhesion on prepared ferrous and galvanized metal substrates.
• Extended pot life allows application by brush, roller or spray.
• Easy to apply and repair if damaged.
• Supplied ready to use, no additional thinning is required for most applications.

Colour

Grey, low gloss

Packaging

3.78 L (1 US gal.)

Use

• Sikafloor Vertical Epoxy Primer is used as a tacky primer and adhesion promoter for the vertical application of Sikafloor mortars.
• Primer for concrete substrates and most steel surfaces that have been properly prepared.

Characteristics and Advantages

• Excellent ‘tacky’ grab properties provide true ‘hang’ characteristics for vertical mortars.
• Suitable for application on new or existing cured concrete substrates.
• Can be applied onto 7 to 10 day old concrete after adequate preparation and where substrate has tensile bond strength in excess of 1.5 MPa (218 psi).
• Achieves bond strength in excess of the tensile strength of concrete.
• Moisture tolerant; maximum moisture content of concrete substrate < 10%.
• Flexible bond line provides good performance under thermally induced stress.
• Easy to mix: 1:1 ratio.
• Low odour as a result of 100% solids content.
• CFIA acceptance for use in food plants in Canada.

Packaging

3.1 kg (3.0 L) / 6.8 lb (0.8 US gal.) kit

Use

• ƒƒ As an adhesion promoting primer/ sealer for absorbent substrates including concrete and cement screeds.
• Penetrates substrate to reduce outgassing, minimizing the formulation of bubbles in subsequent body coats when applying Sikafloor® and Sikagard® systems.

Characteristics and Advantages

• ƒƒ Very rapid overcoating time increases productivity, 2 hours 30 min at 23 °C (73 °F)
• Low viscosity ensures excellent penetration and adhesion
• User friendly mix ratio, A:B = 3:2 parts by volume
• Low tensile modulus
• Higher tensile elongation
• Low VOC content, neutral odour
• LEED® Canada credits available.
• Meets the requirements of CFIA and USDA for use in food plants
