Usage
Sikafloor® Marine-530 is designed as a component of the Sikafloor® Marine Deco systems for internal decks in ship and boat construction. It can also be used for smoothing of surface irregularities of metallic floors (steel, aluminum). In case of highly exposed interior UV areas Sikafloor® Marine-530 needs to be protected by Sikafloor® Marine-505 or use Sikafloor® Marine-590 instead. Sikafloor® Marine-530 is IMO approved up to a max. of 2.8 kg/m2 as per the corresponding Application Manual.This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility.

CURE MECHANISM
The curing of Sikafloor® Marine-530 takes place by a chemical reaction of the two components.
Higher temperatures speed up and lower temperatures slow down the curing process.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Chemical resistance is dependent on the topcoat (refer to the chemical resistance of the topcoat).
For advice contact the Technical Department of Sika Industry.
Application
Surface preparation
Steel decks need to be prepared to a cleanliness factor of SA 2.5 (ISO 8501). Ensure decks are free of dirt, grease, oil and loose particles. Aluminum decks shall not be shot blasted but need to be sanded instead, followed by vacuum cleaning. The prepared metallic surfaces need to be primed with SikaCor® ZP Primer.
Cementitious substrates have to be mechanically prepared to remove laitance. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed by vacuum before application of Sikafloor® Marine-530. Apply Sikafloor® Marine-664 / -601 as a primer ensuring the substrate moisture content is ≤ 4 %. The application area must be protected against weather (draught, etc.) to fulfill the referenced substrate and climate conditions.
Application
Sikafloor® Marine-530 is poured and spread evenly by means of a notched trowel or pin-rake. In critical areas a spike roller can be used to improve levelling. For deeper sections (e.g. unevenness), it might be necessary to pre-level these in advance and let it cure first before finishing. Always consider the pot life to keep a wet edge.
Prior to application, always consult the most current corresponding Application Manual.
Curing
Indications regarding curing details see table below.
| Tempera- | Foot traffic | Light traffic | Full cure |
| 10 °C | 36 hours | 48 hours | 72 hours |
| 20 °C | 24 hours | 36 hours | 60 hours |
| 30 °C | 16 hours | 24 hours | 48 hours |
Removal
Uncured Sikafloor® Marine-530 can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically.
Hands and exposed skin have to be washed immediately using hand wipes such as Sika® Cleaner-350H or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water.
Do not use solvents on skin.
Application limits
Freshly applied Sikafloor® Marine-530 must be protected from damp, condensation and water for at least 5 days. Uncured material reacts in contact with water (foaming).
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Sikafloor® Marine-530 (B) has to be kept between 5 °C and 30 °C in a dry place. Do not expose it to direct sunlight. After opening of the packaging, the contents need to be protected against moisture. Minimum temperature during transportation is 5 °C.
