 IV. APPLICATION

1. Substrate preparation
• Substrate quality
New concrete should be cured for at least 28 days and should have a pull off strength ≥1.5
N/mm2 (supported by test on site). Inspect the concrete, including upstands, all areas should
be hammer tested. Concrete must be suitably finished by wood float or steel pan. The surface
finish must be uniform and free from defects such as laitance, voids or honeycombing.
• Substrate preparation
- Check that the construction and substrate are in good condition.
- Check that the surface is dry and substrate humidity is maximum 4% without emitting
dampness.
- Substrate Temperature +10°C min. / + 40°C max.
- Ambient Temperature +10°C min. / + 40°C max.
- Relative Humidity <85%
- Dew Point - Beware of condensation! The substrate and uncured membrane must be at
least 3°C above the dew point to reduce the risk of condensation. Condensation may
affect adhesion and could affect appearance.
- Cementitious or mineral based substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive
blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and to achieve an open
textured surface. Loose friable material and weak concrete must be completely removed
and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed. High spots must
be removed by e.g. grinding. Repairs to the substrate, filling of joints, blowholes/voids and
surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikaflex®,
Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials.
- Outgassing is a naturally occurring phenomenon of concrete that can produce pinholes in
subsequently applied coatings. Primer is used to block outgassing avoiding pin holing.

2. Application
• Application primer Sikalastic® U-Primer
Application of primer Sikalastic® U-Primer at consumption of approx. 0.2 kg/m2 on to the
prepared and conditioned substrate by brush, roller or airless spraying machine.

+20 C / 55% R.H 4 hrs (and touch dry) 24 hrs
+30oC / 85% R.H 2 hrs (and touch dry) 24 hrs
Note: times are approximate and will be affected by the substrate temperature.
*After 24 hrs the surface must be re-primed prior to the application of Sikalastic®-632 R.
Damageable areas (handrails etc.) should be protected with tape or plastic wrapping.

• Application Sikalastic®-632 R
- Application of Sikalastic®-632 R by brush, roller or airless spraying machine.
- Prior the application of Sikalastic®-632 R the priming coat Sikalastic® U-Primer must have
cured tack-free.
- Waiting time / over coating of Sikalastic® 632R

• Application Sikalastic® U-Coating

• Sikalastic® U-Coating is supplied in the correct proportions of component A (resin) and
component B (hardener). Pour component B into the container of component A and
ensure that container B is emptied completely. To achieve a homogeneous mix, both
components must be thoroughly mixed with a mixing device at about 300 rev/min
• Sikalastic® U-Coating is applied by spreading the material with a flat squeegee and
finish by back rolling at consumption of approx. 0.2 kg/m2

• Damageable areas (handrails etc.) should be protected with tape or plastic wrapping.

DETAILING:
- Always begin the installation with the details prior to the installation of the horizontal
areas. Follow same process of reinforced system.

APPLICATION OF COATING SYSTEM:

- Apply the first layer of Sikalastic®-632 R maintaining a wet edge to ensure a seamless
membrane.
- Once the first layer has cured enough (see further down overcoating time window) apply
the second layer of Sikalastic®-632 R.

APPLICATION OF REINFORCED SYSTEM:

- Apply the first layer of Sikalastic®-632 R maintaining a wet edge to ensure a seamless
membrane.
- Roll-in the reinforcement Sikalastic® Premium and overlap by minimum 5 cm. The roller
may require only a little bit of extra material to keep wetted but no further significant
material is added at this stage.
- Once the first layer has cured enough (refer to overcoating time window) apply the top
layer of Sikalastic®-632 R.

 3. Notes on Application / Limitations
• Do not apply Sikalastic®-632 R on substrates with rising moisture.
• Do not dilute Sikalastic®-632 R with any solvent.
• Sikalastic®-632 R is not suitable for permanent water immersion and for inverted roof
structures (with thermal insulation placed directly on to the Sikalastic®-632 R).
• Ponding water test can be conducted on Sikalastic®-632 R after 24 hours, within a maximum
test duration of 48 hours. After 48 hours water needs to be removed.
• On substrates likely to exhibit outgassing, apply during falling ambient and substrate
temperatures. If applied during rising temperatures “pin holing” may occur from rising air.
• Do not use Sikalastic®-632 R for indoor applications.
• Do not apply Sikalastic®-632 R close to the air intake vent of running air conditioning unit.
• ALWAYS use the fully reinforced system on top of existing asphalt/bitumen sheet roofs and
for light maintenance foot traffic roofs.
• Volatile bituminous materials may stain and or soften when overcoated with Sikalastic®-632
R. Low melting point bituminous materials may need priming.
• Whilst Sikalastic®-632 R is resistant to most commonly encountered atmospheric pollutants,
proprietary cleaning solutions and environmental spoilage. Contact Sika Technical Service
team in case of specific chemical resistance requirements.
