1 of 8 products in this brand
SILIKAL® R 62 resin is a medium-viscosity methacrylic resin that is outstandingly suitable for self-leveling coatings of 1 – 4 mm, predominantly indoors or as a top coat for elastic floorings outdoors. Coatings with SILIKAL® R 62 resin can bridge cracks to a certain degree. Visually appealing surfaces and systems can be developed when used in conjunction with a variety of fillers, pigments or decorative materials.

Product Highlights

SILIKAL® R 62 resin is characterized by good fl ow properties and therefore tends not to form trowel marks, assuming that the suggested fi ller recipe is used. The slight plasticization ensures universal application. SILIKAL® R 62 resin is roughly comparable with SILIKAL® R 61 resin in terms of its physical characteristics. SILIKAL® R 62 resin is predominantly recommended for sprinkling colored fl akes (loosely or saturated) and for smooth universal shades. The surface is preferably applied with SILIKAL® R 72 resin.

Coating Type
Application

SILIKAL® R 62 resin is used as a binder in manufacturing various coating types and recipes. Possible substrates for interiors include concrete, screed and ceramic tiles. A variety of different systems can be formulated from SILIKAL® R 62 resin depending on the application and stresses. Some standard recipes, which can be or may have to be adapted if alternative fillers are used, are suggested below. In this regard, we suggest that you conduct laboratory tests using your fillers or pigments.

Special Advice

Coatings made from SILIKAL® R 62 resin must not under any circumstances be rolled with a spiked roller, as otherwise the protective paraffi n fi lm cannot form.

Suggested Coating System
  • Rollable wall coating
  • Thin coating 1 – 2 mm for moderate stresses
  • Topping 3 – 4 mm
  • Colorless top coat
  • Pigmented top coat
