Description
Super Sikalite® Powder Hydrophobic 1kg (Waterproofer for Rendering and Waterproof Coatings)
Super Sikalite® is a powder hydrophobic agent for the waterproofing of cement mortars or hybrid mortars.
Super Sikalite® provides mortars with:
- Excellent waterproofing through chemical transformation and fixation of their soluble constituents.
- Improved workability, making application easier and promoting compactness.
- Extended working time: no need for retempering, no curing delay.
- Reduces shrinkage by reducing mixing water.
- Enhances frost resistance of cured mortars.
Applications:
- Waterproofing of walls and facades: (adhere to DTU 26.1 guidelines).
- Tanking: adhere to DTU 14.1 guidelines.
- Screeds and protective layers for terrace roofs' waterproofing.
- For pools and reservoirs, achieve waterproofing by applying multiple layers of Super Sikalite® mortar plaster, 2 to 3 cm thick, on a repaired concrete surface.
- The mix ratio will be 1 volume of cement to 2 volumes of sand, and the finishing coat should be troweled, not smoothed, to prevent cracking.
- Creation of waterproof screeds (follow DTU 52 guidelines). Waterproofing is achieved by incorporating Super Sikalite® into the cement mortar as described for pools and reservoirs.
- Creating damp-proof layers, capillary breaks (refer to DTU 20.1 guidelines).
