Sikagard® 560
Sikagard 560 is a waterborne, synthetic rubber/ styrene-acrylic copolymer formulation, which may be applied by brush, roller or airless spray equipment. It is free from strong odor and toxic fumes and cures to form a tough, matte, elastomeric membrane, which tolerates substrate movement and does not embrittle with age, or prolonged exposure to ultra-violet light.
Sikagard® 570
Sikagard 570 is an exceptionally elastomeric, high build, waterborne coating designed to accommodate movement and cracking in structures. The coating is cured by exposure to the UV radiation present in sunlight, developing a surface skin which is relatively harder than the bulk of the coating beneath. Thus, it has a hard wearing surface but the underlying coating is comparatively mobile, tolerating pronounced movement without cracking or splitting. Similarly, as more material is gradually exposed due to natural erosion, the hard surface is maintained. The coating dries rapidly to a matte finish, and retains its elasticity both at very low temperatures and in extremes of heat, protecting substrates against weathering, water ingress and aggressive atmospheric chemicals. In addition it also provides an effective barrier to carbonation when applied over reinforced concrete. Sikagard 570 exhibits excellent color retention, has a dirt resistant surface, is capable of very high moisture vapor transmission and has excellent low temperature crack bridging properties.
