SikaIgaSol 17

SikaIgaSol® 17 is a high-performance, solvent-based bituminous emulsion that is primarily used for waterproofing and surface protection in construction applications. It is designed to offer robust protection against water infiltration, corrosion, and environmental wear. The emulsion creates a durable, flexible, and adhesive coating on various surfaces, including concrete, masonry, and metal. SikaIgaSol® 17 is especially effective for below-grade waterproofing applications, providing long-lasting protection in areas exposed to moisture, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions. It is a versatile product suitable for both new constructions and maintenance projects.

Usage:

SikaIgaSol® 17 is used in the following applications:

1. Waterproofing Concrete and Masonry: Protects concrete surfaces such as foundations, basements, and walls from water penetration, making it ideal for below-grade applications.
2. Surface Protection for Structures: Provides a protective coating on concrete, brick, and metal structures to prevent damage caused by moisture and corrosion.
3. Maintenance of Old Concrete Surfaces: Ideal for refurbishing and restoring the waterproofing capabilities of old concrete and masonry surfaces, protecting against weathering and water ingress.
4. Coating for Exposed Concrete: Used for coating and protecting concrete exposed to aggressive environments, such as chemical plants, basements, and industrial facilities.
5. Waterproofing of Foundations and Tunnels: Effective for sealing and protecting foundations, tunnels, and underground structures from moisture, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of these elements.
6. Corrosion Prevention for Metal Surfaces: Suitable for coating metal surfaces, offering resistance against rust and corrosion in harsh environments.

Advantages:

1. Excellent Waterproofing: SikaIgaSol® 17 offers exceptional waterproofing properties, preventing water penetration and protecting the substrate from damage.
2. Durable and Long-Lasting: The bituminous emulsion forms a tough, durable, and flexible barrier that provides long-term protection against water, chemicals, and environmental elements.
3. Flexible Coating: The coating remains flexible even after curing, allowing it to adapt to the movement and expansion of the substrate without cracking.
4. Quick Drying: Dries relatively quickly, reducing the time required for multiple coats and improving project efficiency.
5. Corrosion Resistance: Provides a layer of protection against rust and corrosion for metal and steel surfaces, making it ideal for industrial and construction applications.
6. Easy to Apply: The emulsion is simple to apply using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment, making it easy for contractors to work with and ensuring consistent coverage.
7. Versatile Application: Can be used on a variety of substrates, including concrete, masonry, and metal, offering flexibility across different types of construction projects.
8. Cost-Effective: Offers an affordable solution for waterproofing and surface protection, making it an excellent choice for both commercial and residential projects.

Applications:

1. Foundation Waterproofing: Used for the waterproofing of foundation walls, ensuring protection from water ingress and preventing damage to the structure.
2. Basement and Below-Grade Applications: Ideal for protecting below-grade structures like basements, substructures, and tunnels from water and moisture damage.
3. Concrete Surface Protection: Applied to exposed concrete surfaces to shield them from weathering, water, and corrosion in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings.
4. Industrial Applications: Suitable for use in factories, chemical plants, and refineries to protect concrete floors, walls, and metal surfaces from corrosion and moisture exposure.
5. Bridges and Infrastructure: Used to protect bridges, tunnels, and other civil engineering structures from the damaging effects of water and chemicals, extending the service life of the infrastructure.
6. Waterproofing of Parking Garages: Applied to the floors and walls of parking garages, providing a durable moisture barrier and preventing water from seeping into the structure.
7. Protective Coating for Steel and Metal: Effective for protecting metal surfaces from rust and corrosion, particularly in environments where exposure to moisture and chemicals is prevalent.
