Please see preferred Sikalastic® Deck Coating Solution for detail surfacer preparation.

• 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 235 Tint Base

• Transfer entire contents of pigment cans into Sikalastic® TC 235 Tint Base. Use a spatula or knife to remove all the pigment from the container.
• With a slow-speed drill and Jiffy mixer, mix 4–6 minutes. The paddle blade must be kept below the surface of the Tint-Base to avoid whipping air into it.
• To ensure consistent color throughout the pail, pour contents into separate container and continue mixing until all Tint-Base has dispersed.
• When using multiple units, all units must be boxed to ensure color consistency.

Note: Sikalastic® TC 235 Tint Base is intended for pedestrian use only and is not suitable for vehicular traffic.

Sikalastic® TC 235 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 235 (only 2.5-gallon fill), only one (1) Sikaflex®-900 color pack should be used.

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 . Allow coating to cure a minimum of 12-14 hours at 73 °F and 50 % RH. Allow coating to cure for a minimum of 72 hours before opening to vehicular or 48 hours before opening to pedestrian traffic.

Please see the applicable Sikalastic® Deck Coating system data sheet for total system and aggregate surface preparation and application.

When installing Sikalastic® TC 235 Tint Base, a second coat may be required for proper hiding.  A mock up should be performed to address any aesthetic expectations.

Removal

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