Application

Application Information

Substrate moisture content

Dry or matt damp. Do not apply in construction joints when standing water is existing.

Ambient air temperature

+5 °C min. For installation below +5 °C ambient temperature, special measures are required in accordance with relevant national regulations and Sika guidelines

Substrate temperature

+5 °C min. For installation below +5 °C substrate temperature, special measures are required in accordance with relevant national regulations and Sika guidelines
Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

The substrate must be sound, clean, dry, ‘matt damp’, free from all surface contaminants

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Existing concrete

All loose particles, release agents, laitance, paint, rust and other poorly adhering materials must be removed by suitable hand or mechanical preparation.

Freshly cast concrete

During concreting, compact well around SikaSwell® P Profiles profiles to provide a dense concrete without any honeycombing or voids.

Surfaces which are excessively rough can be susceptible to leaking. It is recommend to smoothen the freshly cast concrete with a batten where the sealing profile is to be placed.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Colma-Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened material (adhesive) can only be mechanically removed.
