Application steps

APPLICATION

Sikagard®-551 S Elastic Primer is supplied ready for use. Stir thoroughly prior to application.

Sikagard®-551 S Elastic Primer can be applied by brush, roller or airless spray.
With very dense substrate up to 10% Sika Thinner C may be added to Sikagard®-551 S Elastic Primer to increase penetration.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically
