Sikagard 550W Elastocolor is an elastomeric, crack-bridging, anti-carbonation, acrylic protective coating.
Sikagard 550W Elastocolor serves as a protective, crack-bridging coating for concrete, mortar, stucco, masonry, and exterior finishing systems subject to cracking/dynamic movement. It is ideal for use on building and civil engineering structures subject to cracking or as the top coat in complete repair and protection systems.
Sikagard 550W Elastocolor provides protection to reinforced concrete from the ingress of carbon dioxide and other aggressive gasses. It offers high resistance to chlorides and other waterborne salts and excellent UV light resistance. Sikagard 550W Elastocolor will not act as a vapor barrier and will enhance the appearance of the structure
Theoretical yield per coat: 100 ft 2/gal/coat. Recommended wet film thickness: 16 mils/coat. Recommended dry film thickness: 8 mils/coat. Normal coating system is two coats at a total dry film thickness of 16 mils. Consumption is dependent on the porosity of the substrate. In addition, allowance must be made for surface profile unavoidable variation in applied film thickness, loss and waste. Sikagard Elastic Base Coat can be used as a first coat in a two coat system of Sikagard 550W Elastocolor.
