Sikalastic®-502 Primer

Epoxy

12 months

Keep containers closed and store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, heat, sparks, open flame, and moisture. Keep material stored above 65 °F (18 °C). Open containers should be blanketed with dry nitrogen before resealing.

Part A: 1.30 kg/l
Part B: 1.89 kg/l

Part A : Part B  = 1:1  (by volume)

41 °F (5 °C) min. / 104 °F (40 °C) max.

80 % R.H. max.

Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured coating must be ≥ 5 °F (3 °C) above dew point.

41 °F (5 °C) min. / 140 °F (60 °C) max.

≤ 4 % moisture content Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).

Allow primer to cure completely prior to applying membrane resin.
9Full cure: 4 hours at 68°F.)
Membrane resin should be applied within 24 hours of primer application.
Maximum primer exposure is 48 hours. Primer exposed longer than 48 hours,
exposed to water during curing and/or exhibiting a chalky appearance,
must be reprimed. Deteriorated primer must be mechanically removed
before primer reapplication.

• 1 gal/300 sq. ft. on non-absorbent smooth substrates
• 1 gal/200 sq. ft. on prepared dry concrete
   

Note: Rough, porous, or absorbent surfaces will require additional primer and will reduce
yield.

Sikalastic®-502 Primer should not be diluted under any circumstance. The volume mixing ratio: 1 Part B white liquid to 1 Part A black liquid. Premix Part A and part B components separately using low speed (400–600 rpm) mechanical mixer and Jiffy paddle at slow speed to obtain uniform color (typically 30 sec), making sure to scrape the solids from the bottom and the sides of the pail. Add Part B to Part A pail. Mix the combined material thoroughly until a homogenous mixture and uniform color is obtained (typically 3 min.)

Remove all contaminants, oil and grease from substrate. Sikalastic®-502 Primer should be applied at the rate of 1 gal. (3.8 L) (mixture of part-A & part- B)/200–300 ft² (18.6–27.9 m). It can be applied using an airless sprayer, brush, or phenolic resin core roller. Allow Sikalastic®-502 Primer to become tack free before applying the coating.  If Sikalastic®-502 Primer is allowed to dry completely, re-prime the surface before proceeding. Sikalastic®-502 Primer is sensitive to heat and moisture. Higher temperatures and/ or high humidity will significantly accelerate the cure time and decrease pot life. Use caution in batch sizes and thickness of application. Low temperature and/or low humidity extend the cure time.
