Application steps

EQUIPMENT

Hot air welding equipment

IMPORTANT

Welding parameters including temperature, machine speed, air flow, pressure and machine settings must be evaluated, adapted and checked on site according to the type of equipment and the climatic conditions before welding.

 

Select the most appropriate equipment required for the project:

  • Hand-held manual electric hot air welding equipment
  • Hand-held rubber or silicone seam pressure roller
  • Hot air welding machines with a minimum controlled hot air temperature capability of +600 °C.

Recommended type of hot air welding machines:

  • Manual: Leister Triac PID
  • Automatic: Leister Variamat

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

  • The roof construction and associated components must comply with national and local regulations.
  • The supporting structure must be of sufficient structural strength to apply all new and existing layers of the roof build-up.
  • The complete roof system must be designed and secured against wind uplift loadings.
  • The substrate surface must be uniform, smooth and free of any sharp protrusions or burrs, etc.
  • The supporting layer must be compatible with the membrane, solvent resistant, clean, dry and free of grease and dust.
  • Metal sheets must be degreased.

APPLICATION

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in the project specfication, application manuals and working instructions etc.

Reference must be made to the Installation instructions: Sikaplan® SGK-types for adhered system.
