Sikalastic 1K Cementitious Membrane

Product Information

Sikalastic -1K is a one component, flexible, fibre-reinforced mortar, based on cement modified with special alkali-resistant polymers. It also contains fine fillers, selected graded aggregates, plus special waterproofing additives to produce a flexible mortar that is ideal for waterproofing surfaces subject to flexural strain. Sikalastic -1K is suitable for application by brush, roller, trowel or spray equipment.

Uses

• Protection of concrete surfaces according to EN 1504-9, principles 1: protection against penetration (coating); 2: control of moisture (coatings); and 8 increasing resistivity (coating)
• Waterproof protection of concrete structures including tanks, basins, pipes, etc.
• Waterproofing external wall surfaces to be backfilled in ground
• Internal waterproofing of walls and floors, in basements
• Waterproofing of terraces and balconies over concrete or prepared existing tiles
• Flexible protection coating for reinforced concrete structures against the effects of de-icing salts, freeze-thaw and carbon dioxide swell consolidation.

Application Details

• Consumption: ~1.2 kg/m2/mm thickness
• Substrate Quality: Substrates must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and other surface treatments, etc.
• Substrate Preparation: Clean surfaces by blast cleaning, high-pressure water-jetting (400 bar), wire-brushing, grinding and abrading of ceramic tiles etc., in order to remove all previous coatings, any traces of grease, rust, release agents, cement laitance and any other material which could reduce adhesion. All dust deposits from this preparation must also be removed i.e. by vacuum.
• Repair concrete substrates, if necessary, with an appropriate cementitious mortar from Sika MonoTop range of repair materials.
• The substrate must be adequately dampened before application
  

Special Requirements

• All connections between the substrate and pipe entries, plant and equipment, light switches etc., must be sealed and watertight. Joints in concrete, pipes, anywhere else in the structure must also be sealed and made watertight.
• Use coved details at the floor/wall junctions
• Avoid any stagnant water presence or condensation / ponding on the surfaces before application.
  

Application Conditions / Limitations

• Substrate Temperature: min. + 5 C; max. + 35 C
• Ambient Temperature: min. + 5 C; max. + 35 C
  

Application Instructions /Water Dosage:

• application by roller: ~ 7 litres water per 20 kg bag
• application by brush: ~ 6 litres water per 20 kg bag
• application by trowel: ~ 4.4 litres water per 20 kg bag
• Note: Product should be gradually added to water while mixing until homogeneous.
  

Application Method / Tools, Apply Sikalastic -1K by:

1. spatula, exerting good and even pressure onto the substrate;
2. Short-medium hair roller, maintaining a homogeneous distribution on the substrate;
3. brush, in 2 directions (diagonally opposite / cross-wise)
4. mechanical spray: refer to local Sika Technical Department for details

Maximum recommended thickness is 2 mm per coat. The final thickness when applied by trowel will depend on the method of application and level or grade of exposure / waterproofing required.

For demanding applications including negative pressure. The optimum waterproofing performance is obtained by applying Sikalastic -1K by trowel in at least 2 layers, to a total thickness of 3-4mm. For general applications 2 coats of minimum 1mm is recommended.

Application by brush or roller must be undertaken with the maximum attention to uniformly covering the whole surface. The maximum recommended thickness for these methods of application is 1 mm per layer. In these situations, the application of min. 2-3 layers is required. Wait until the first layer is dry before applying subsequent layers.

Do not blast clean or abrade before complete hardening of the material damaged. Wait for complete hardening, and then remove any roughness by light sanding.

Joints: At joints or other critical movement areas (for example junctions with vertical surfaces), the waterproofing can be reinforced by Sika Seal Tape S. It must be applied directly on the fresh first layer and then covered by the second layer of Sikalastic -1K.

Tiling: Ceramic tiles and vitreous mosaics can be applied on Sikalastic -1K using a specific adhesive (e.g. cement based adhesive with maximum flexibility according to Class C2 EN 12004). Joints gaps must be sealed with specific cement based products such as found in the Sika Ceram range.

Cleaning of Tools: Tools should be thoroughly cleaned with water before the material has set. Hardened mortar can be only be removed mechanically.
