Usage:
- Concrete and Masonry Protection: Applied on exterior surfaces to provide a durable, waterproof layer that can withstand weather conditions.
- Waterproofing: Protects buildings from water penetration, preventing damage from humidity and moisture.
- Facade Coating: Ideal for facades and external walls in both commercial and residential properties.
- Bridge and Tunnel Surfaces: Can be used in civil engineering projects for long-term protection of structures.
- Restoration and Renovation Projects: Suitable for both new and older buildings needing enhanced weatherproofing and crack-bridging capabilities.
Application:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants such as oil, grease, and loose particles.
- Application Method: Apply using a roller, brush, or spray. It is important to follow the recommended layer thickness for maximum performance.
- Drying Time: Allow the first layer to dry before applying a second one. The drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.).
- Curing: The coating typically cures within 24-48 hours, but full curing time may be longer in colder or more humid conditions.
Coverage:
- Coverage is approximately 0.6 – 1.2 kg per m² per coat, depending on the porosity and texture of the substrate.
- This value can vary depending on the surface roughness, application method, and environmental conditions.
Advantages:
- Elasticity: Able to bridge hairline cracks and accommodate structural movements without compromising protection.
- Waterproofing: Provides excellent resistance to water penetration, reducing the risk of substrate degradation.
- Durability: UV-resistant and resistant to environmental pollutants, maintaining color and appearance over time.
- Ease of Application: Simple application with no need for specialized equipment.
- Breathable: Allows the substrate to release moisture, preventing the formation of trapped water and mold.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Ideal for surfaces exposed to extreme weather conditions and pollution.
- Aesthetic Finish: Available in various colors, providing both functional and aesthetic appeal to building facades.
- Non-toxic and Safe: Being water-based, Sikagard®-550 W Elastic is safer for both the environment and the applicator.
