SYSTEM DESIGN
Consider the following when designing the system:
-
The supporting structure must be of sufficient structural strength to support all new and existing layers of the system build-up.
-
If used as a roof system, the complete system must be designed to withstand and be secured against wind uplift loadings.
GENERAL
-
The tensile adhesion strength of concrete substrates must be a minimum of 1.5 N/mm2. If necessary, verify this by applying a test area first.
-
Substrates must be free of standing water (no puddles) clean and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.
-
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product and associated system products, preferably by industrial vacuuming equipment.
-
To confirm adequate surface preparation and adhesion of the Product , carry out a small trial before full application together with adhesion tests as required.
-
Where ancillary products are mentioned, refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet.
BRICK MASONRY OR NATURAL STONE
- Brick, stone and mortar joints must be sound and preferably flush finished.
- Replace loose bricks, stone and mortar.
- Apply strips or sections of Sika® reinforcement over mortar joints.
- Thoroughly clean the surface by power washing and allow to dry.
- Prime the prepared surface with Sika® Concrete Primer or Sika® Bonding Primer. Refer to Product Data Sheet.
CONCRETE OR CEMENTITIOUS SCREEDS
- Substrate must be sound with a minimum tensile adhesion strength of 1.5 N/mm2, clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.
- New concrete must be cured for at least 28 days and have a tensile strength > 1.5 N/mm2.
- IMPORTANT The final texture of the substrate must be open-textured and gripping. Prepare cementitious substrates mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning, planing or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance.
- Remove weak concrete and fully expose defects such as blow holes and voids. Note Suitable methods for surface preparation are high-pressure water jetting or abrasive blast cleaning. If using other pre-treatments such as scarifying and milling, subsequently use water jetting or blast cleaning to eliminate the remaining structural faults, remove cement laitance, and achieve an open and sound textured surface.
- Repair and fill blow holes and voids using appropriate products from the SikaTop®, Sika MonoTop®, Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials.
- Before applying coatings, remove high spots by grinding.
- Remove dust by industrial vacuuming equipment.
- Prime the prepared surface with Sika® Concrete Primer or Sika® Bonding Primer. Refer to Product Data Sheet.
METALS
- Metals and existing coatings must be in a sound surface condition.
- Abrade surfaces to remove any rust and loose coatings.
- Bare metal must achieve a bright rust-free finish.
- Prepare substrate mechanically using suitable abrading, grinding, rotating wire brush or other similar equipment.
- Apply Sikalastic® Metal Primer to optimise adhesion and protect metal from corrosion.
- Apply strips or sections of Sika® reinforcement over joints and fixings.
- Prime the prepared surface with Sikalastic® Metal Primer. Refer to Product Data Sheet.
UNGLAZED CERAMIC TILES
- Make sure all tiles are securely fixed.
- Replace or fix any broken, loose or missing tiles.
- Thoroughly clean the surface by power washing and allow to dry.
- Prime the prepared surface with Sika® Concrete Primer or Sika® Bonding Primer. Refer to Product Data Sheet.
WOOD
- Wood and wood-based panel roof decks must be in good structural condition, firmly bonded or mechanically fixed.
- Replace or fix any defective or loose panels.
- Hammer or screw any protruding nail or screw heads below the surface of the top deck.
- Remove any sharp protrusions from the surface.
- Prepare substrate mechanically using suitable wood abrading equipment.
- Remove dust by industrial vacuuming equipment.
- Apply Sikalastic® Carrier to the full surface of the wood-based deck. For localised exposed sections prime with Sika® Concrete Primer or Sika® Bonding Primer Refer to Product Data Sheet.
BITUMINOUS FELT AND COATINGS
- Thoroughly clean the surface by power washing and allow to dry.
- Prime the prepared surface with Sikalastic® Metal Primer. Refer to Product Data Sheet.
EXISTING

MIXING
IMPORTANT
Do not dilute with solvent or water.
The Product is supplied ready to use.
- Prior to application mix for at least 2 minutes using an electric single-paddle mixer (300 to 400 rpm) until the liquid and all coloured pigment has achieved a uniform colour.
APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Strictly follow installation procedures
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
IMPORTANT
Protect from rain
After application, protect the Product from heavy rain or rain showers until dry to prevent surface damage.
IMPORTANT
No application on rising moisture
Do not apply on substrates with rising moisture.
IMPORTANT
Failure of reinforcement overlaps
To ensure a watertight seal is maintained all reinforcement overlaps must be to a minimum dimension.
- Ensure side overlaps are greater than 100 mm and end overlaps are greater than 200 mm.
COATING
- Always begin application with detailing (corners, upstands, joints) before installation of the main horizontal surfaces.
- Apply the first layer of the Product evenly over the surface with a brush, roller or airless spray equipment. Note For consumption details, see Application Information.
- Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a fleece roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.
- For a reinforced membrane lay the Sika® Reinforcement onto the wet base coat. Note The reinforcement fibres must be fully encapsulated within the base coat.
- Apply a second layer of the Product evenly over the surface with a brush, roller or airless spray equipment. Note For consumption details, see Application Information.
- Back-roll the surface in two directions at right angles with a fleece roller. Note Maintain a "wet edge" during application to achieve a seamless finish.
- The coating must be continuous, pore free and to the required surface finish.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Thinner C immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
