Product
Sikatop Seal 107 is cementious base, 2-component polymer modified waterproofing slurry. It applied to concrete and mortar to prevent water infiltration.
Steps of Application
1. Concrete, mortar surfaces must be clean, free from grease, oil and loosely adhering particles. If a rendering/levelling/slope making mortar is required, it shall be applied to the concrete with a bonding bridge (e.g. Sika Latex diluted 1:1 with water and mixed with cement) and it shall be cured properly.
2. Prior to Sikatop Seal 107 application, surfaces should be saturated thoroughly but no standing water.
3. Mixing Sikatop-Seal 107: Mix in a clean container by slowly adding the powder component to the liquid component and stir with slow speed electric mixer
4. Apply the first coat of Sikatop- Seal 107 by using brush or trowel. The rate of application 2 kg/m2/coat.
5. Following the curing of the first coat (after 4 h), apply the second coat using by trowel or brush.
6. Following the curing of the 2nd coat (after 24 h), fix the tile with suitable tile adhesive.
Consumption of Sikatop Seal 107
Dependent on the substrate roughness, surface profile and thickness of the layer applied, but as a guide, ~ 2.0 kg / m2 / mm (excluding allowances for loss wastage, surface profile and porosity, etc.).
