Approved for use in contact with potable water under:

• Regulation 31(4) (a) of the water supply (water quality)regulation 2016 for England and 2018 for Wales.
• Approved by Energy and Climate Change Directorate Drinking Water Quality Division, under Water Supply (Water Quality) (Scotland) Regulations 2014,
  33(3) (a).
• Approved by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Regulation 30 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017.

IMPORTANT NOTE
 

• Specific instructions for use (IFU) for potable water applications must be followed and are available upon request.
• For all other applications follow the guidance within this technical data sheet.

Rotate the stock in order not to exceed the shelf life of 12 months for SikaTop®-586 Seal and SikaLatex®-600.

All materials should be stored under cover, clear of the ground and stacked not more than 6 bags high. Protect the materials from all sources of moisture and frost.

Substrates to be treated must be completely clean, structurally sound and mechanically keyed. All surface coatings, defective renders, foreign matter, formwork treatments and other contaminants that may
affect the bond adversely should be removed.

Substrates should be prepared by abrasive blasting, high-pressure water treatment or mechanically abrading the surface to achieve the required key
All mortar joints to be flush-pointed.
Repair with a compatible mortar as required.

Water/Liquid Demand
SikaTop®-586 Seal can be mixed with water only; or a blend of SikaLatex®-600 and water mixed at a ratio of 1:3 by wt/vol, of SikaLatex®-600: water.

Water only
4.2 - 5.0 litres per 25 kg bag,
Typically 4.6 litres

SikaLatex®-600/water blend 1:3 by wt/vol
*3.6 – 4.0 litres per 25 kg bag
Typically 3.8 litres
*3.6 litres comprises 0.9 litres of SikaLatex®-600 blended with 2.7 litres of water.
4.0 litres comprises1.0 litre of SikaLatex®-600 blended with 3 .0 litres of water.
In applications where the SikaTop®-586 Seal is expected to be in contact with hydrocarbons (such as diesel oil, petrol, etc.), water only should be used as mixing liquid.
For all other applications consult the technical department for advice on when water only or a water /
SikaLatex®-600 blend should be used.

Mechanical Mixing
Gradually blend the powder into the mixing liquid using a suitable mixing paddle in a slow-speed drill (400-600rpm). 

Spray application
All-in-one mixing and spraying machine or separate spraying machine and all associated ancillary equipment to suit application volumes.

Do not apply to frozen surfaces or if the ambient temperature is below 3°C or expected to fall below 3°C within 24 hours.
Always apply to a pre-dampened substrate. High-suction substrates will require more dampening than dense substrates. Ensure there is no free standing water on the substrate prior to application.
Apply by trowel, using firm pressure to force the material into the substrate; to a minimum depth of 1mm and a *maximum depth of 20mm, per layer.   Do not over trowel. Allow the SikaTop®-586 Seal to stiffen sufficiently before floating to a finish. If further layers are required apply wet on wet when the material has stiffened sufficiently. Alternatively scratch key and allow to set before repeating the application procedure above.
The time between application and finishing will vary dependent upon substrate absorption and ambient drying conditions.
Leave the placed material until it is sufficiently stiff to allow finishing with a wood, plastic or sponge float. Dependent upon which type of float is used, a variety of finishes can be obtained.  SikaTop®-586 Seal must be used within 90 minutes of mixing or sooner in hot conditions. Clean all equipment immediately with water.

* If greater thicknesses are required, contact the
technical department for advice.

Fog-spray all applications with clean water after the initial set has taken place for as long as practicable.
In cold, humid or unventilated areas it may be necessary to leave the application for a longer curing period or to introduce forced air movement.
Never use dehumidifiers during curing periods or within 28 days of completion.
Protect from rain until the product has set.

Overcoat at nominal 3mm thickness
Sika cementitious and Xolutec® coatings - 1 day
Sika resin coatings (PU and Epoxy) - 3 days
These times will vary dependant on ambient
temperature, humidity and layer thickness.

Wash all equipment with clean water before hardening occurs.
