Approximately 0.20 -0.35 kg/m applied in 2 coats.

Standard Comply with ASTM D3747,ASTM D977, ASTM D1227

Application Details
Substrate preparation All surfaces must be sound, even, free from dust, loose particles and any
contamination.
®
Sika Bitumen-60 may be applied to damp but not waterlogged surfaces.
®
Hot and very dry, porous concrete surfaces must be primed by diluting Sika
Bitumen-60 with clean water at 1:1 ratio (by weight).
Application The drums must be stirred well before use.
Where a single drum is used for prolonged periods, occasional stirring during
application is recommended.
If a primer coat is applied, allow it to dry completely before applying subsequent
coats.
®
Apply Sika Bitumen-60 evenly and in one direction using a stiff brush.
A two-coat application is recommended to avoid possible gaps in the film.
Each coat must be allowed to dry before applying the next one.
In wet areas, where a key to subsequent layers (e.g. screed, tile bedding, etc.) is
required, blind the fresh top layer with clean sharp sand.
®
Do not apply Sika Bitumen-60 to outside areas in wet weather or when rain is
expected.
Cleaning Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use.
