Application

Application Information

Mixing Ratio

Part A : Part B =   1 : 1  (by volume)

Ambient Air Temperature

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

Relative Air Humidity

80 % R.H. max.

Dew Point

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

Substrate Temperature

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

Pot Life

60–90 minutes (at 75 °F (24 °C) and 50 % R.H. Part A+B)

Waiting / Recoat Times

Allow primer to cure completely prior to applying membrane resin.

Full cure: 2 - 4 hours at 68°F.

Maximum primer exposure is 12 hours. Primer exposed longer than 12 hours, and primer exposed to water during curing and exhibiting a chalky appearance, must be reprimed. Deteriorated primer must be mechanically removed before primer reapplication.
Consumption

Coverage

1 gal/ Average 300 sq. ft. (0.14 L / m²)

Note: Rough, porous, or absorbent surfaces will require additional primer andwill reduce yield.
Application steps

MIXING

The volume mixing ratio is 1 part Part-A Black Liquid to 1 part Part-B White Liquid.

APPLICATION

Sikalastic®-503 Primer should be applied at the rate of 1 gal. (3.8 L) (mixture of Part-A & Part-B) / 300 ft2 (27.9 m2). Coverage rate will depend on surface roughness and porosity. It can be applied using an airless sprayer, brush, or phenolic resin core roller. Do not allow the material to puddle.
