SikaGard 700S |MCT CHEMICALS | SIKA PAKISTAN PRIVATE LIMITED

Usage:

SikaGard 700S is designed for protecting vertical and horizontal surfaces in both residential and commercial applications. It is especially suitable for structures exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as high moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and pollution. It can be used on concrete, masonry, brick, and stone surfaces to prevent water infiltration and deterioration.

Application:

1. Building Facades: Applied to protect building facades from water penetration, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the surface and reducing the risk of structural damage due to water ingress.
2. Concrete and Masonry Surfaces: Ideal for waterproofing concrete walls, floors, and other masonry elements in both commercial and residential buildings.
3. Bridges and Tunnels: Provides reliable waterproofing for bridges, tunnels, and other transportation infrastructure exposed to constant moisture and weathering.
4. Retaining Walls: Used to prevent water infiltration in retaining walls, helping to avoid erosion and maintaining structural stability.
5. Parking Garages: Protects concrete and masonry surfaces in parking structures, preventing the ingress of water, de-icing chemicals, and other damaging substances.
6. Heritage Buildings: Provides protection for historical and heritage structures, preserving their appearance while enhancing durability and resistance to the elements.
7. Underground Structures: Used in waterproofing underground concrete structures such as basements, foundations, and tunnels to prevent water damage and soil moisture issues.
8. Industrial and Commercial Facilities: Applied to surfaces exposed to industrial pollutants, harsh chemicals, and moisture, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Coverage:

The coverage of SikaGard 700S typically ranges from 4 to 8 square meters per liter, depending on the surface texture and porosity. The coverage may vary based on the condition of the substrate, with more porous surfaces requiring a higher amount of product. Multiple coats may be necessary for optimal protection, especially in areas with high water exposure.

Advantage:

1. Water Repellency: SikaGard 700S offers excellent water-repellent properties, significantly reducing the penetration of water and moisture into porous surfaces, thus protecting them from water damage.
2. Preserves Surface Appearance: The product does not alter the color, texture, or appearance of the treated surfaces, ensuring that the original aesthetic is maintained.
3. Durability and Longevity: Provides long-term protection against weathering, moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and pollution, extending the lifespan of the treated surfaces.
4. UV Stability: SikaGard 700S resists degradation from UV radiation, ensuring that the protective layer remains intact and functional even under prolonged exposure to sunlight.
5. Easy Application: It is easy to apply using a brush, roller, or spray equipment, providing flexibility and ease of use for various types of projects.
6. Solvent-Based Formula: The solvent-based formulation allows for deep penetration into the substrate, providing superior waterproofing and protection compared to water-based alternatives.
7. Prevents Efflorescence: By preventing water ingress, SikaGard 700S reduces the likelihood of efflorescence (salt deposits) on masonry and concrete surfaces, maintaining their aesthetic appearance.
8. Protection Against Freeze-Thaw Damage: Ideal for areas that experience freeze-thaw conditions, as it helps prevent cracking and spalling caused by the expansion of frozen water.
9. Low Maintenance: Once applied, SikaGard 700S requires minimal maintenance, providing long-lasting protection without the need for frequent re-coating.
10. Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces the need for costly repairs and maintenance by extending the life of the structure and preventing water-related damage.
