Sikafloor Marine-579, Smooth Decorative Self-Levelling Flooring Resin, Exterior, Brown, 20 Kg

Sikafloor Marine-579 is installed on top of the deck levelling compound.
Metallic decks need to be prepared to SA 2.5 (ISO 8501). Aluminum decks must not be shot blasted. The prepared metallic surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt, grease, oil and loose particles before the SikaCor ZP Primer is applied.
The application area must be protected against weather and direct sunlight.

Sikafloor Marine-579 is poured and spread evenly by means of a notched trowel, flat trowel or pin-rake. In critical areas a spike roller can be used to improve levelling and de-airing. For deeper sections (e.g. unevenness), it might be necessary to pre-level these sections. Ensure the pre-leveled sections have achieved "foot traffic" cure level prior to proceeding.

For liquid application on cambers and slopes multiple applications steps may be needed. Curing speed depends on temperature and layer thickness. Always consider the pot life to keep a wet edge.
Prior to application, always consult the most current Application Manual.

Indications regarding curing details see table below.
