Consumption

Coverage

Theoretical yield per coat: 200 - 240 ft2 (18.6 - 22.4 m2)/gal/coat.

Recommended ‘wet’ film thickness: 10 mils (0.25 mm)/coat. Recommended ‘dry’ film thickness: 6 mils (0.15 mm)/coat. Normal coating system is two coats at a total dry film thickness of 12 mils*. Consumption is dependent on porosity of substrate. In addition, allowance must be made for surface profile, unavoidable variation in applied film thickness, loss and waste.

*One coat coverage recommended only for recoating over existing coatings
Application steps

APPLICATION

Any areas of glass or other surfaces should be masked. Recommended application temperatures (ambient and substrate) 45°-95°F (7°-35°C). Sikagard®-615 DPR can be applied by brush, roller (3/8” Nap Roller recommended), or spray over entire area moving in one direction. Sikagard®-615 DPR Coating exhibits good surface coverage in single application. However, for most uncoated, unprimed surface of concrete, masonry, or drywall, two coats of Sikagard®-615 DPR may be required to obtain adequate hiding of the substrate and best performance. For spray applications, strain the material using a paint strainer. At lower temperatures and high humidity, waiting time to recoat will be prolonged. At higher temperatures, work carefully to maintain a wet edge. As with all coatings, job site mock-ups should always be completed to confirm acceptability of workmanship, material and aesthetics.

NOTE: To achieve a dry film thickness of 12 mils, two coats should be anticipated. For maximum adhesion, (especially on porous substrates) the use of Sikagard® 552W is recommended. Sikagard® 552W primer can be applied by brush or roller. Brushing provides more even and pore free coats and better penetration.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Water soluble prior to drying. Clean tools and containers with water prior to drying. Cured material can be removed mechanically.
