Sikalastic®-560 White | MCT CHEMICALS | SIKA PAKISTAN

Usage of Sikalastic®-560 White:

• Waterproofing Membrane: Primarily used as a waterproofing solution for roofs, terraces, balconies, and other exposed areas where water protection is critical.
• Elastomeric Coating: The product forms a flexible, durable coating that can expand and contract with structural movements, making it ideal for surfaces exposed to temperature fluctuations.
• UV-Resistant: Suitable for outdoor applications where the membrane is exposed to UV radiation, providing long-term protection against the elements.
• Protective Coating: Used as a protective, seamless membrane to safeguard surfaces from water damage, corrosion, and environmental factors.

Applications of Sikalastic®-560 White:

1. Flat Roofs: Ideal for waterproofing flat and low-slope roofs to prevent water penetration and potential structural damage.
2. Terraces and Balconies: Used to waterproof terraces, balconies, and external walkways, protecting these surfaces from water infiltration and weathering.
3. Basement Waterproofing: Applied to vertical and horizontal surfaces to prevent water seepage into underground structures.
4. Parking Decks and Driveways: Suitable for waterproofing and protecting parking decks and driveways that are subject to traffic and environmental wear.
5. Protection for Concrete and Masonry Surfaces: Applied as a protective layer over concrete or masonry to prevent moisture ingress and deterioration.
6. Swimming Pools and Water Features: Suitable for waterproofing areas in contact with water, such as swimming pools or water fountains.

Coverage of Sikalastic®-560 White:

• Coverage Rate: Typically, Sikalastic®-560 White covers about 1.5 – 2.0 m² per liter per coat, depending on the surface texture and porosity.
• Recommended Number of Coats: It is generally applied in 2 coats for optimal waterproofing performance, with the second coat applied after the first has cured.
• Consumption: Total consumption will be approximately 2 – 3 liters per m² for two coats, depending on the surface conditions.

Note: The actual coverage and consumption rates may vary based on the substrate, application conditions, and specific project requirements.

Advantages of Sikalastic®-560 White:

1. Superior Waterproofing: Provides excellent waterproofing protection, ensuring that structures remain dry and protected from water ingress.
2. UV and Weather Resistance: Offers long-term resistance to UV radiation and weathering, which makes it particularly suitable for outdoor and exposed applications.
3. High Elasticity: The polyurethane formulation allows for significant flexibility, making the membrane ideal for applications subject to movement or thermal expansion.
4. Seamless Application: As a liquid-applied membrane, Sikalastic®-560 White forms a continuous, seamless layer with no joints, ensuring greater protection against leaks and cracks.
5. Durable and Long-Lasting: The membrane is highly durable, offering long-lasting performance, even in harsh environmental conditions.
6. Aesthetic Appeal: The white color of Sikalastic®-560 enhances the aesthetics of the surface and can help reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and contributing to energy savings in buildings.
7. Solvent-Free: Being solvent-free, it is low in odor and less harmful to the environment, making it safer for use in both residential and commercial settings.
8. Quick Curing: The product cures quickly, which reduces downtime during installation and allows for faster project completion.
9. Chemical Resistance: Provides protection against a range of chemicals, making it suitable for environments exposed to industrial or chemical agents.
10. Cost-Effective: Offers a high-quality, durable waterproofing solution at a competitive price, providing value over time through its longevity and performance.
