1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Sikalastic®-632 R is a single component, cold applied, moisture-triggered polyurethane membrane. It cures to form
a seamless and durable waterproofing solution for exposed roof areas.

Sikalastic®-632 R is an i-Cure® Technology system incorporating a unique technology that allows the materials to
use atmospheric moisture to trigger the curing process. This means the waterproof membranes are capable of
curing in a wide range of conditions including extreme temperature ranges and humidity variations. Unlike
traditional polyurethane systems they do not release CO2 – which often causes aeration – and therefore the
application need not be delayed by adverse weather conditions.

It is not recommended to install the Sikalastic® LAM systems when rain is imminent, as rainfall could affect the
appearance of the product. However, once applied the membranes are water resistance and will not show any
adverse reaction to water other than physical impact.

The LAM system is Sikalastic® liquid membrane that cures to provide completely seamless waterproof protection.
Its liquid application means it can be easily applied to all complex detail areas, and because it is completely cold
applied there is no requirement for any heat or naked flame on the roof.

1.1 REFERENCES
To ensure the correct application of Sikalastic® LAM systems, please refer to the most recent issue of the following
documents:
▪ PDS (Product Data Sheet)
▪ MSDS (Material and Safety Data Sheet)

If local regulations regarding external fire performance are existing, the valid performance of Sikalastic® LAM
systems may be checked.

1.2 LIMITATIONS
▪ Do not apply Sikalastic®-632 R on substrates with rising moisture.
▪ Sikalastic®-632 R is not suitable for permanent water immersion.
▪ On substrate likely to exhibit outgassing, ensure substrate is thoroughly dry and apply during falling ambient
and substrate temperatures. If applied during rising temperatures “pin holing” may occur from rising vapour.
In very severe case Sikalastic® Concrete Primer may assist.
▪ Product must be used in conjunction with a safe system of work. Ensure an adequate assessment of all site
risks has been conducted prior to work commencing. Refer to the product safety datasheet for further
guidance.
▪ When using Sikalastic®-632 R for indoor applications, make sure the ventilation is good.
▪ Do not apply close to the air intake vent of running air conditioning unit. Turn off or isolate if necessary.
▪ The product can be applied by brush, roller or airless spray. Work with a brush in difficult areas. Apply
subsequent layers after the first layer has cured tack free.
▪ The product can be over coated with itself.
▪ Bitumen sheets should be fully reinforced for any significant longevity, however when not using full reinforced
system in adjacent areas use strips of e.g. Sika® Reemat Premium/Sika® Fleece-120 in order to cover joints,
connections or overlaps onto bituminous sheets. Please ask our technical service department for detailed
recommendations.
▪ Volatile bituminous materials may stain and or soften below the coating.
▪ The suitability of each system to receive foot traffic varies. For specific recommendations, please contact our
technical service department.
▪ If apply cementitious products (e.g. tile mortar) directly onto Sikalatic®-632 R, sanding layer must be added
priorly (sand diameter around 0.2mm~0.3mm).

3.2 SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Generally speaking all surfaces must be clean, dry and sound. The following section suggests methods of dealing
with most common substrates.

A. Cementitious substrates
New concrete must be cured for at least 28 days and must have a pull off strength ≥ 1.5 N/mm2. Inspect the
concrete, including up stands, all areas should be hammer tested. Concrete must be suitably finished,
preferably by wood float or steel pan. A power float finish is acceptable where the surface is prepared to
avoid laitance (a tamped finish is not acceptable). The surface finish must be uniform and free from defects
such as laitance, voids or honeycombing.

Loose friable material and weak concrete must be completely removed and surface defects such as
blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.

Repairs to the substrate, filling of joints, blowholes/voids and surface leveling must be carried out using
appropriate products from the SIkafloor®, SikaDur® and SikaGard® range of materials. High spots must be
removed by e.g. grinding.

Outgassing is a naturally occurring phenomenon of concrete that can produce pinholes in subsequently
applied coatings. The concrete must be carefully assessed for moisture content, air entrapment, and surface
finish prior to any coating work. Any requirement for priming must also be considered. Installing the
membrane either when the concrete temperature is falling or stable can reduce outgassing. It is generally
beneficial, therefore, to apply the embedment coat in the late afternoon or evening.

B. Brick and stone

Mortar joints must be sound and preferably flush pointed. Make good any missing mortar and power wash –
allow to dry.

C. Ceramic tiles
Ensure all tiles are sound and securely fastened, replacing obviously broken or missing sections. Tiles need a
good adhesion to the substrate otherwise they need to be removed. The adhesion to surface some tiles may
need to be abraded to produce a good bond. Degrease with detergent or proprietary degreasing agent.
Power-wash clean thoroughly and allow to dry.

D. Asphalt
Asphalt must be fully reinforced. Asphalt contains volatiles which can cause bleeding and slight non-
detrimental staining. The asphalt must be carefully assessed for moisture and/or air entrapment, grade and
surface finish prior to any coating works being carried out. Power wash. All major cracks should be sealed.
Asphalt must be carefully assessed for moisture and/or air entrapment, grade and surface finish prior to any
coating works being carried out.

E. Bituminous felt
Bituminous felts always need full reinforcement. Ensure that bituminous felt is firmly adhered or
mechanically fixed to the substrate. Bituminous felt must not contain any badly degraded areas. Power
wash. Treat blisters by removal or star cutting and remove any underlying water and allow to dry.
Bituminous felt must be treated with a fully reinforced system however if not using fully reinforced system
in adjacent areas use strips of Sika® Reemat Premium or Sika® Flexitape Heavy in order to cover joints,
connections onto bitumen. There are many types of bitumen felt with variable softening points and
additives – test compatibility before use – soft or volatile may soften temporarily and could stain the
coating.

F. Bituminous coatings
Bituminous coatings must not have sticky or mobile surfaces, volatile mastic coatings, or old coal tar
coatings. Remove loose or degraded coatings. Test compatibility before use – may need full reinforcement.

G. Metals
Metals must be in sound condition.
Steel work ideally prepared to Sa21/2 (Swedish Standard SIS 05:5900 = 2nd quality BS4232 = S.S.P.C. (grade
SP10) or as indicated by the blasting specification which may be of a higher standard.
Non-ferrous metals are prepared as follows. Remove any deposits of dust and oxidation and abrade to
bright metal. Wire brushing can be used for soft metal such as lead. The surface must be clean and free from
grease which, if present, must be removed with a proprietary solution. Wash with detergent, rinse and dry.
Use a suitable metal primer e.g. Sikalastic® Metal Primer and observe relevant application and overcoating
instructions. Adhesion test before full application.

4 APPLICATION
Prior to the application of Sikalastic®-632 R, the priming coating, if used, must have cured tack-free. For the
waiting time / overcoating please refer to the PDS of the appropriate primer. Damageable areas (handrails etc.)
should be protected with tape or plastic wrapping.

A. Roof Coating System

▪ Sikalastic®-632 R is applied in one or two coats. Prior to the application of a 2nd coat the indicated waiting
time in table below waiting time / overcoating shall be allowed.
▪ Apply 1st coat according to the required consumption 0.9 kg/m2, allow drying and checking for any misses or
pinholes – spot treat to rectify before continuing.
▪ Once dry apply 2nd coat. On larger areas try to use a different color for the first and second coats – this makes
it easier to ensure a good coverage.

B. Reinforced Coating System

▪ Apply first coat of approximately 1.7 kg/m2 of Sikalastic®-632 R. Work only so far in advance that the material
stays liquid.
▪ Roll in Sika® Reemat Premium/Sika® Fleee-120 and ensure that there are no bubbles or creases. Overlapping
of the reinforcement with 10 cm wide and ensure overlaps are sufficiently wet to bond.
▪ The roller may require only a little extra material to keep wetted but no further significant material needs to
be added at this stage.
▪ After the coat is dry enough to walk on, seal the roof area with second coat of Sikalastic®-632 R at a minimum
0.9 kg/m2 per coat.
▪ Always begin with details prior starting with waterproofing the horizontal surface.
▪ For details follow step 1-4.

6 HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
For information and advice on the safe handing, storage and disposal of chemical products, users shall refer to the
most recent Material Safety Data Sheet containing

6.1 PERSONAL PROTECTION

The following protective equipment is essential for anyone working with Sikalastic® LAM products.

In addition to protective clothing it is also recommended to use a barrier cream on the skin. The use of a barrier
cream is more useful and effective than often reputed, they are inexpensive, convenient, and protect well if they
are not frequently flushed with solvents. However, barrier creams are only a supplement to and not a replacement
for protective gloves, so always wear gloves. Always ensure there is no contamination inside gloves before reusing
them.

If any Sikalastic® LAM products gets on clothing, remove the garment at once. The friction of resin-saturated fabric
on the skin can cause serious chemical burns. Wash your exposed skin occasionally during the workday and
immediately if any Liquid Applied Membrane product gets on it. Avoid using solvents since they can help Liquid
Applied Membrane material penetrate in to the skin and solvents themselves are aggressive and harmful to the
skin. If water is no more available at any time or shorten, then clean the contamination with sand instead. Certain
hand cleaners also work without harmful effects. Citrus skin cleaners, for example, are effective and mild. Soap
and water takes time, but also eventually works for small areas.

Avoiding skin contact by keeping tools and equipment clean is one of the best ways to
protect oneself.
Despite safety precautions, with any instances of skin contact rinse immediately with
clean water and use warm water and soap to thoroughly clean the skin. A good skin
cleaner is Sika® Topclean T.
No Sikalastic® LAM applications should ever proceed without sufficient water being
adjacent and available for eye washing. If adequate clean water is not provided then the
project should not commence, no matter what the urgency. If a professional eyewash kit
is not available, then at the very minimum one quart of clean water must be present.
The water can be in a pail, plastic jug or via a hosepipe.

Safety glasses or other eye protection obviously help those doing the work but they can also create a false sense of
security. Do not take risks with health!

In the event of any spillage or contact into the eyes, always seek medical advice immediately after rinsing and
cleaning the eyes with the clean water.

Method Statement EN/APAC

Sikalastic-632R Technical Document

15/17
Ensure sufficient ventilation during application in closed or confined spaces. Dependent on local regulations
respiratory masks may be required. Please observe all relevant local regulations.

Hard hats, safety shoes and ear protection are also generally recommended on construction sites.

6.2 DISPOSAL
The disposal of emitted tins of Sika products.
Sikalastic®-632 R
Where residual material has fully cured, the material poses no threat to health, safety or the environment.
Therefore containers coated with fully cured residues do not need special disposal considerations. However, where
the tins carry hazard warnings such as transport diamonds or orange squares denoting chemical hazards, these
markings should be covered, removed or otherwise obliterated. If these are not removed there may be difficulties
at disposal site as the markings indicate that the contents are hazardous.
However, where residual material has not cured or a skin has formed on the surface, this must be disposed as
hazardous waste and any markings denoting hazards must remain.
