Application Details
Consumption ~ 200 g/m2 per coat which is equivalent to a dry film thickness of ~ 60 microns
(assuming a loss of 20%).
Substrate Preparation Exposed concrete without old coatings:
The surface must be clean, sound, dry and free from loose or friable particles.
Suitable preparation methods are steam, high pressure water jetting or
blastcleaning. Cementitious Sika® thin renderings must be cured at least 5 days
before coating.
Exposed concrete with old coating:
Old coatings must be tested for their adequate adhesion to the substrate - adhesion
2 2
test average > 0.8 N/mm with no single value below 0.5 N/mm .
- If there is inadequate adhesion then:
Old coatings must be completely removed by suitable methods and the
substrate must be sufficiently sound and prepared before coating.
- If there is adequate adhesion then:
Thorough cleaning of all surfaces is required, by steam cleaning or high
pressure water jetting.

Application
Conditions /
Limitations
Substrate Temperature +8°C min. / +35°C max.
Ambient Temperature +8°C min. / +35°C max.
Relative Air Humidity < 80%
Dew Point Application temperature must be at least 3°C above dew point.

Application
Instructions
®
Mixing For normal usage, SikaColor -671 W is supplied ready for use.
Stir thoroughly prior to application.
For use on very absorbent substrates, add up to a maximum of 10% water - stir well
prior to use.
Application Method / SikaColor®-671 W can be applied by brush, short pile roller or airless spray.
Tools
The second coat should be applied in a cross wise direction to achieve optimum
opacity.
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.

 Notes on Application / Do not apply when:
Limitations
- Rain or frost is expected.
- Relative humidity is above 80%.
- The temperature is below +8°C and/or below dew point conditions.
- On wet surfaces.
At temperatures below +8°C on very absorbent substrates with strong winds, there
is a risk of drying cracks and reduced adhesion so these conditions should be
avoided.
®
SikaColor -671 W is resistant to common atmospheric pollutants and highly
resistant to alkalinity from cement based substrate.

Curing Details
Curing Treatment SikaColor® -671 W does not require any special curing but must be protected from
rain for at least 1 hour at +23°C.
