Sika Poxicolor®

High solid epoxy-combination for steel and zinc

Highly resistant, economical 2-pack coating based on MIO (micaceous iron oxide) free epoxy-resin combination of low solvent content. Low solvent content acc. to Protective Coatings Directive of German Paint Industry Association (VdL-RL 04).

  • Application of dry film thicknesses up to 150 microns per coat
  • Excellent adhesion on galvanized surfaces
  • Tough elastic and hard but not brittle
  • Largely insensitive against shock and impact
  • Very economical due to high volume solids and low solvent content

Relative air humidity

Max. 85 %, except the surface temperature is significantly higher than the dew point temperature, it shall be at least 3 K above dew point.

Pot Life

At + 5°C~8 h
At + 20°C~6 h
At + 30°C~3 h

Waiting time to overcoating

Min.: Until drying stage 6 is achieved.

Higher layer thicknesses, but also lower temperatures than specified, lead to longer drying times. The overcoating intervals can be delayed and may need to be determined on site.
Max.: 24 months
In case of longer waiting times please contact us.


Prior to further applications: After a waiting period or after exposure to weathering, all possible contamination must be removed from the surface before the subsequent coating is applied.

Thinner

Sika® Thinner EG
If necessary max. 5% Sika® Thinner EG may be added to adapt the viscosity.

Drying time

Final drying time

Depending on film thickness and temperature full hardness is achieved after 1 - 2 weeks. Tests of the completed coating system should only be carried out after final curing.

Application steps

MIXING

Stir component A very thoroughly using an electric mixer (start slowly, then increase up to approx. 300 rpm). Add component B carefully and mix both components very thoroughly (including sides and bottom of the container). Mix for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Fill mixed material into clean container and mix again shortly as described above. During mixing and handling of the materials always wear protective goggles, suitable gloves and other protective clothings.

 

APPLICATION

The method of application has a major effect on achieving uniform thickness and appearance. Spray application will give the best results. The indicated dry film thickness is easily achieved by airless spray. Adding solvents reduces the sag resistance and the dry film thickness. In case of application by roller or brush, additional applications may become necessary to achieve the required coating thickness, depending on type of construction, site conditions, colour shade etc. Prior to major coating operations a test application on site may be useful to ensure the selected application method will provide the requested results.

By brush and roller

Airless-spraying:

  • Pressure min. 180 bar
  • Diameter of hoses min. 10 mm (⅜ inch)
  • Nozzle size 0.42 - 0.53 mm (0.017 - 0.021 inch)
  • Spraying angle 40° - 80°
