Cleaning solvent
THINNER 90-53
Upgrading
• This is only valid for spray application
• If the DFT is below specification and an extra coat of SIGMAZINC 158 has to be applied, SIGMAZINC 158 should be
thinned down with 25 – 50% THINNER 90-53, in order to obtain a visible wet coat that remains wet for some time
ADDITIONAL DATA
Notes:
- Maximum DFT when brushing: 35 µm (1.4 mils)
- Above 150 µm (6.0 mils) mudcracking can occur
- Average DFT 75 µm (3.0 mils) with a minimum of 60 µm (2.4 mils) on smooth non-pitted blast cleaned steel
- Average DFT 100 µm (4.0 mils) with a minimum of 75 µm (3.0 mils) on rough or pitted, blast cleaned steel
SIGMAZINC™ 158
Overcoating interval for DFT up to 100 µm (4.0 mils) and 50% relative humidity
Overcoating with... Interval -5°C (23°F) 0°C (32°F) 10°C (50°F) 20°C (68°F) 30°C (86°F) 40°C (104°F)
Notes:
- For recoating with itself to take required dft, recommend to apply within 2 days before full cure. No minimum recoating interval
limitation for itself.
- To confirm cure to topcoat, conduct a MEK rub test per ASTM D4752. A rating of 4 or higher is sufficient for topcoating
- For measuring of the curing, the MEK rub test according to ASTM 4752 is a suitable method: after 50 double rubs with a cloth soaked
in MEK (or alternatively THINNER 90-53) no dissolving of the coating should be observed
- Curing/recoating time will be shortened by the increase of humidity, please contact regional technical service team for details
- A mist coat / full coating application technique is required when topcoating to prevent application bubbling. Ensure dry spray is
removed from the surface
- SIGMAZINC 158 is a moisture curing zinc silicate, this means that it cures after sufficient exposure to moisture from the atmosphere
during and after application; it is recommended that relative humidity and temperature are measured during the curing time
- When curing conditions are unfavorable or when reduced overcoat times are desired, curing can be accelerated 4 hours after
application by: [1] Wetting or soaking with water, keeping the surface wet for the next 2 hours, followed by drying; [2] Wetting or soaking
with a 0.5% ammonia solution, followed by drying
- Maximum interval is only unlimited when the surface is free from any contamination
Curing time for DFT up to 100 μm (4.0 mils) and 50% relative humidity
Notes:
- SIGMAZINC 158 is a moisture curing zinc silicate, this means that it only cures after sufficient take up of water, (from the atmosphere)
during and after application
- It is recommended that relative humidity and temperature are measured during the curing time
- Relative humidity during curing recommended to be above 50%
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to INFORMATION SHEETS 1433 and 1434)

Notes:
- Surface should be dry and free from chalking and contamination
- SIGMACOVER 435 should not be overcoated with coal tar epoxy coatings
Notes:
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to INFORMATION SHEETS 1433 and 1434)
- In exceptional cases SIGMACOVER 435 may be applied at lower substrate temperatures (down to -15°C (5°F)) provided that the surface
is free from ice and other contamination. In such cases special care must be taken to avoid thick film application as this may lead to
checking/crazing or solvent entrapment.It should be clear that application at lower temperatures will require additional thinning to
obtain application viscosity, however this will affect the sag resistance of the applied coating and can induce solvent retention. Optimal
curing and designed product properties will only be achieved when minimum required substrate temperature is reached

• Finish coat for (anti-corrosive) coating systems on steel and concrete structures in atmospheric exposure conditions
• High UV resistance
• Excellent color and gloss retention
• Good abrasion and impact resistance
• Long potlife at elevated temperatures
• Resistant to water and splash of mild chemicals
• High elasticity
Volume solids 55 ± 2%
Theoretical spreading rate 11.0 m²/l for 50 µm (441 ft²/US gal for 2.0 mils)
Shelf life Base: at least 36 months when stored cool and dry
Hardener: at least 24 months when stored cool and dry
Notes:

SIGMACAP FINISH PU
Induction time
None
Pot life
5 hours at 20°C (68°F)
Application
• High-gloss, thin-film polyurethane finishes tend to atomize less easy
• The widely used airless spray application method is for those kind of finishes possible, but would not be the best option
as small nozzles and high-pressure can easily result in overspray
• Better suitable methods are pressure pot and air assisted airless (e.g. airmix) application, which results in better dry film
thickness control, better appearance and less overspray
