Prior the application of Sikalastic®-590, the priming coat has to be used and it must have cured tack-free. The primer coat is Sikalastic®-590 diluted 10 % water and consumption is ~0.3 kg/m2
For the Waiting Time / Overcoating please refer to the PDS of the appropriate primer. Damageable areas (door frame) have to be protected with an adhesive tape.
Waterproofing WITHOUT Sika®-120 Reemat:
Sikalastic®-590 is applied in three coats (1 coat is for primer coat & 2 coats are Sikalastic®-590). Prior to the application of second coat the indicated waiting time in the table Waiting Time / Overcoating shall be allowed.
Waterproofing WITH Sika®-120 Reemat:
- Apply primer Sikalastic®-590 diluted with 10% water, consumption approximately 0.3 kg per m2.
- Apply first coat* of approximately 0.3 kg per m2.
- Apply second coat of approximately 0.5 kg/m2 of Sikalastic®-590. Work only so far in advance that the material stays liquid.
- Roll in the Sika®-120 Reemat and push into the wet liquid and ensure full saturation. Overlapping of the Sika®-120 Reemat a minimum 5 cm 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. The surface of the reinforcement should look wet and fully sealed. Then apply approximately 0.5 kg per m2 of Sikalastic®-590 with wet on wet system.
- Before applying the final coat, check for upstanding Reemat fibres. These fibres have to be eliminated by using sandpaper. Make sure that all upstanding fibres are abraded.
- After the coat is dry enough to walk on, Final coat of approximately 0.3 – 0.5 kg per m2 of Sikalastic®-590.
Note : * It may not be applied, if the substrate is good and the primer has covered substrate with proper consumption and enough material.
TOOLS
Drill and paddle:
Sikalastic®-590 should be mixed for one minute using a drill and paddle.
Solvent resistant short-piled lamb skin roller:
Used in the application of Sikalastic®-590 to ensure a consistent thickness of the seamless SikaRoof systems.
Thick hair brush:
For application of Sikalastic®-590 to all details and penetrations.
Jet Washer:
If dust, vegetation, moss / algae or other contaminants are present on the existing roof, a power washer is required to clean the substrate prior to the application of SikaRoof Systems. Existing chippings should be removed by hand or scabbling prior to power washing.
Airless spray equipment:
Used only for the roof coating systems. Two spray applied layers is the minimum requirement. The pump should have the following parameter:
-min. pressure : 220 bar
-min. output : 5.1 l/min
-min. Ø nozzle : 0.83 mm (0.033 inch)
