Technical Information

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 from the topcoat. In case of chemical exposure conduct project related testing.

Application

Application Information

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 the next application.

Apply Sikafloor® -150 / -151 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 on a properly levelled surface. If needed pre-level with Sikafloor® Marine-530 or another suitable material. In critical areas a spike roller can be used to improve levelling. Always consider the pot life to keep a wet edge.

In case of deck levelling or sloped surfaces contact Technical Department of Sika Industry.

Prior to application, always consult the most current corresponding Application Manual.

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

In case of highly exposed interior UV areas Sikafloor® Marine-530 needs to be protected by Sikafloor® Marine-505 or use Sikafloor® Marine-590. Black synthetic deck caulking excluded.

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.
