Sikalastic® TC 225 HT Tint base should be mixed with two (2) Sikaflex®-900 color packs per 5 gallons in order to achieve the desired color tint. When using short-filled pails of Sikalastic® TC 225 HT (only 2.5-gallon fill), only one (1) Sikaflex®-900 color pack should be used.

When installing Sikalastic® TC 225 HT Tint Base, a second coat may be required for proper hiding.

Thoroughly mix coating using a mechanical mixer (Jiffy) at slow speed until a homogenous mixture and uniform color is obtained (typically 1 minute). Use care not to allow the entrapment of air into the mixture.

MIXING - Sikalastic® TC 225 HT Tint Base

• Avoid whipping air into Tint Base.
• Mix pigment cans thoroughly into Tint Base.
• Always do a test area to ensure acceptable color appearance and slip resistance.
• Do not apply Sikalastic® TC 225 HT Tint Base heavier than the recommended 15−20 mil (0.38−0.51 mm) application.
• Colors exposed to direct sunlight may fade over a period of time. Darker colors potentially fade at an increased rate.
• Aggregate and substrate conditions may affect color and appearance.

Apply at the recommended coverage rate using a notched squeegee or trowel, and backroll using a phenolic resin core roller. Apply aggregate evenly distributed at the appropriate rate immediately into wet coating and backroll if required (see appropriate System Guide). Allow coating to cure a minimum of 12-14 hours at 70 °F and 50 % R.H between coats. When installing the Sikalastic® TC 225 HT Tint Base, a second coat may be required for proper hiding. A mock up should be performed to address any aesthetic expectations.

Remove liquid coating immediately with dry cloth. Once cured, coating can only be removed by mechanical means.
