PRODUCT DATA SHEET

SikaCor-277
Epoxy resin-based coating material for wear resistant coatings

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SikaCor-277 is a thixotropic epoxy resin based 2-pack coating material for

steel and concrete.
SikaCor-277 has been tested in combination with glass fabric for its crack
sealing properties.
Low solvent content referring to Protective Coatings Directive of German
Paint Industry Association (VdL-RL 04)

USES

SikaCor-277: Primer and thick layer coating

For concrete, cement mortar and steel. As a protective coating against
chemically aggressive media e.g. In sewage systems for coating wall and
floor surfaces and mechanically stressed surfaces e.g. bridge troughs.
If need in combination with a fabric layer moderate crackbridging properties
can be achieved.

PROPERTIES

- Very good corrosion resistance

- Very good adhesion to concrete, cement mortar, PCC, SPCC and fibre
cement and steel
- Mechanically resistant, tough, friction, impact and shock resistant
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Crack bridging properties in commendation with glass fabric

TESTS

APPROVAL / STANDARDS
SikaCor-277 is approved and monitored according to TL/TP-KORStahlbauten, page 84 appendix as a primer for riveted and welded steel
bridges.
Tested for crack bridging properties in accordance with Zulassungsgrundstze fr Beschichtungssysteme fr Auffangwannen, Auffangrume
und Flchen aus Beton in Anlagen zum Abfllen und Umschlagen
wassergefhrdender Flssigkeiten (principles for approving coating systems
for collecting containers, collection areas and surfaces made of concrete in
systems for emptying and transferring water contaminating fluids), issued
October 2003 at the Polymer Institut Dr. Stenner GmbH, test report numbers

HINTS OF APPLICATION
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS /
MIXING TIME

Stir component A mechanically before mixing. Add components A+B carefully

in the prescribed mixing ratio before processing. To prevent splashing or
spilling of the liquid, combine the components with a variable-speed electric
mixer (stepless regulation) at a low speed for a short period. Then increase
the mixing speed to maximum 300 rpm for intensive mixing. The mixing
duration is at least 3 minutes and is complete when the two components
have combined to form an homogenous mixture. Decant the mixture into a
clean container and mix again once more as described above. Wear suitable
safety gloves, a rubber apron, a long-sleeved top, work trousers and tightlyfitting safety goggles/face guard when mixing and decanting the products.

APPLICATION METHOD

Brush or roller
Airless spraying:
High performance airless device
Spraying pressure at the nozzle at least 180 bar.
Nozzles from 0.38 - 0.66 mm, spray angle 40 - 80.
Minimum material temperature 30C when processing with continuous
water heater.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS

Min. + 5 C (material and surface)

Relative humidity: Max. 85 %, except the surface temperature is significantly
higher than the dew point temperature, it shall be at least 3 K above dew
point.
If necessary max. 5% Sika Thinner K may be added to adapt the viscosity.

CE-MARKING DIN EN 13813

The harmonized European Standard EN 13813 Screed material and floor

screeds Screed materials properties and requirements specifies
requirements for screed materials for use in floor construction internally.
Structural screeds or coatings, i.e. those that contribute to the load bearing
capacity of the structure, are excluded from this standard.
Resin floor systems as well as cementitious screeds meet the specification.
They have to be CE-labelled as per Annex ZA. 3, Tables ZA 1.1 or 1.5 and ZA
3.3 and fulfil the requirements of the given mandate of the Construction
Products Directive (89/106):

CE-MARKING DIN EN 1504-2

The harmonized European Standard EN 1504-2 Products and systems for

the protection and repair of concrete structures Definitions, requirements, quality, control and evaluation of conformity Part 2: Surface
protection systems for concrete gives specifications for products and
systems based on methods hydro-phobic impregnation, impregnation
and coating for the various principles presented under 1504-9.
Products which meet the specification have to be CE-labelled as per Annex
ZA. 1, Tables ZA 1a to ZA 1g according to the scope and relevant causes
there indicated, and fulfil the requirements of the given mandate of the
Construction Products Directive (89/106):
For flooring systems not dedicated to protect or reinstate the integrity of a
concrete structure, EN 13813 applies. Products acc. EN 1504-2 used as
flooring systems with mechanical loads also must fulfil EN 13813.
Here below indicated are the minimum performance requirements set by
the standard. For the specific performance results of the product to the
