Sikagard -62
2-Part Epoxy Protective coating
®
Product Sikagard -62 is a 2-pack solvent-free high build coating material based on epoxy
Description resin.
Uses ■ As an abrasion-resistant universal coating material designed for normal to
moderately aggressive chemical environments. Sikagard®-62 is suitable for
Construction
use on concrete, stone, cementitious mortars and renderings (not polymer-
modified), epoxy cements (EpoCem), epoxy mortars, iron and steel.

thickness required
For a theoretical dry film thickness of 100 microns (0.1 mm) approx. 0.14 kg/m².
These figures are theoretical and do not include for any additional material required
due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
Substrate Quality The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength
2 2
(minimum 25 N/mm ) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm .
The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease,
coatings and surface treatments, etc.
If in doubt apply a test area first.
Substrate Preparation Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning
or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured
surface.
Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blowholes and voids
must be fully exposed.
Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be
® ® ®
carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor , SikaDur and Sikagard
range of materials.
The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or levelled in order to achieve
an even surface.
High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces
before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.
Steel surfaces must be prepared by blast cleaning to Sa 2 ½ (ISO 8501-1) or
SSPC-SP 10. All weld splatter has to be removed joints and welds must be grinded
in accordance with EN 14879-1. An average surface profile Rz ≥ 50µm must be
achieved, the substrate has to be free from contaminants detrimental to adhesion,
preferably by high pressure water jetting prior of blast cleaning.
Application
Conditions / Limitations
Substrate Temperature +8°C min, +30 °C max
Ambient Temperature +8C min, +30 °C max
Substrate Moisture ≤4% moisture content. Test method: Sika®-Tramex or CM.
Content No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Relative Air Humidity 80% r.h. max
Dew Point Beware of condensation!
The substrate and uncured floor must be at least 3ºC above the dew point to
reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the floor finish.
Application
Instructions
Mixing Ratio / Dosage Part A : Part B = 75 : 25 (by weight)
Mixing Time Prior to mixing stir Part A mechanically. When all of Part B has been added to Part
A continuously mix for 3 minutes until a uniform mix has been achieved.
To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into another container and mix again to
achieve a consistent mix.
Over mixing must be avoided to reduce air entrainment.
®
Mixing Tools Sikagard -62 must be mechanically mixed using an electric power stirrer (300 -
400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.

Application Method / Coating:
Tools Sikagard®-62 , can be applied with a distemper brush, a short-piled, solvent
resistant, non-fuzzy roller or by airless spray equipment
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with Thinner C immediately after use.
Hardened/cured material can only be mechanically removed.

Waiting Time / ® ®
Before applying Sikagard -62 on Sikagard -62 allow:
Overcoatability Substrate Temperature minimum maximum
+10°C 30 hours 3 days
+20°C 10 hours 2 days
+30°C 6 hours 1 days
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions.
®
Notes on Application / Do not apply Sikagard -62 on substrates in which significant vapour pressure may
Limitations occur.
® ®
If > 4% moisture content, Sikafloor EpoCem may be applied as a T.M.B.
(temporary moisture barrier) system.
Stability in vertical surface: < 300 µm (wet film thickness)
®
Freshly applied Sikagard -62 must be protected from damp, condensation and
water for at least 24 hours.
Avoid puddles on surface.
The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a reduced service
life and reflective cracking.
®
For exact colour matching, ensure Sikagard -62 is applied from the same control
batch numbers.
