Sikagard-705L |MCT CHEMICALS | SIKA PAKISTAN PRIVATE LIMITED

Description: Sikagard-705 L is a high-performance, solvent-free, hydrophobic concrete and masonry surface protection system. Designed to provide effective water-repellent properties, it prevents water penetration while allowing the substrate to breathe, maintaining its structural integrity. Sikagard-705 L forms a protective barrier that resists rainwater, pollutants, and other environmental elements, making it ideal for use on facades, brickwork, and concrete surfaces. The product enhances the durability of the treated surface, improving its resistance to weathering, while also preserving the aesthetic appearance of the structure.

Usage:

Sikagard-705 L is used primarily for protecting and waterproofing porous concrete and masonry surfaces. It is perfect for structures exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as buildings, bridges, walls, and façades in both residential and commercial settings. The product offers long-lasting protection, making it suitable for both new construction and renovation projects.

Application:

1. Building Facades: Applied to protect and waterproof concrete, brick, and stone facades, providing a durable and weather-resistant finish.
2. Bridges and Tunnels: Ideal for treating surfaces exposed to moisture, chemicals, and pollutants, enhancing the durability of concrete structures in transportation infrastructure.
3. Retaining Walls: Provides protection against water infiltration in retaining walls, ensuring that the structure remains stable and intact over time.
4. Exterior Masonry and Stonework: Perfect for treating brick, stone, and other masonry surfaces exposed to the elements, preserving their appearance and strength.
5. Historical Building Restoration: Used in the preservation of heritage structures, Sikagard-705 L maintains the original aesthetic while providing effective protection.
6. Parking Garages and Underground Structures: Applied to prevent water infiltration in underground parking garages and other subterranean structures, reducing the risk of concrete deterioration.
7. Concrete Surface Protection in Harsh Environments: Ideal for treating concrete surfaces exposed to aggressive environmental conditions like coastal areas, industrial zones, and regions with high pollution levels.

Coverage:

The typical coverage for Sikagard-705 L ranges from 4 to 8 m² per liter, depending on the surface’s porosity and texture. Porous surfaces may require multiple coats to achieve optimal water repellency. Coverage may vary depending on the condition of the substrate and the application method (brush, roller, or spray).

Advantage:

1. Water Repellent: Sikagard-705 L offers outstanding water-repellent properties, preventing water from penetrating porous surfaces while allowing moisture to escape from the substrate, reducing the risk of damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles.
2. UV Stability: The product is highly resistant to UV radiation, ensuring that the protective layer remains effective and does not degrade when exposed to sunlight.
3. Durable Protection: Provides long-lasting protection against environmental contaminants such as pollutants, salts, and acid rain, helping to maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of the treated surfaces.
4. Preserves Aesthetic Appearance: The product is designed to be nearly invisible after application, maintaining the natural appearance of the building material without altering the color or texture.
5. Solvent-Free: Being solvent-free, Sikagard-705 L is safer to use, with minimal environmental impact, and is more comfortable for workers to apply.
6. Breathable: It allows the treated surface to “breathe,” preventing the build-up of moisture and the formation of mold or mildew within the structure.
7. Easy Application: Sikagard-705 L is easy to apply with a variety of methods, including spray, brush, or roller, making it a versatile and user-friendly solution for both professional and DIY use.
8. Prevents Efflorescence: By blocking moisture from entering porous surfaces, it reduces the likelihood of efflorescence (salt deposits) forming on the treated surfaces.
9. Enhances Durability: Extends the life of concrete and masonry surfaces by preventing water-related damage, such as cracking, spalling, and erosion, caused by water penetration.
10. Cost-Effective Solution: By protecting the structure from water damage, Sikagard-705 L reduces the need for expensive repairs and maintenance over time.
