Sika® RainTite

ACRYLIC WATERPROOFING

Sika® RainTite is modified acrylates a thixotropic, cold applied, elastic material on a polymer modified acrylates basic.
The product forms a seamless and joint-free, watertight, flexible and elastic membrane, the cured membrane is resistant to UV radiation.
Sika® RainTite is also very useful for complete waterproofing with decorative finish on corroded corrugated metal sheets.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean, sound and properly cured. Remove all loose materials mechanically, preferably with a wire brush. Iron and steel surfaces should be free of rust.

APPLICATION

Without Membrane :

  • For porous substrate, apply first coat Sika® RainTite diluted with 10 % water as primer layer. Allow enough drying time (>3 hours, depending upon ambient conditions)
  • Apply Sika® RainTite in two coats (~0.3 kg/m2/coat), by brush or roller

With Membrane :

  • For porous substrate, apply first coat Sika® RainTite diluted with 10 % water as primer layer. Allow enough drying time (>3 hours, depending upon ambient conditions)
  • Apply a first coat (0.8 - 1 kg/m2) of Sika® RainTite by brush or roller
  • Embed the Sika® RainTite membrane into the first coat while it is still wet. Ensure that the membrane is thoroughly embedded and smooth out all air pockets and creases. Overlaps of adjacent membrane must be a minimum of 50 mm
  • Immediately apply a second coat (0.8 - 1 kg/m2) of Sika® RainTite while the first coat is still wet, to fully saturate the membrane from both sides
  • When dry, apply a final top coat (~0.4 kg/m2) to complete the application. Protect from rain until dry
 

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Remove uncured surface Sika® RainTite with water. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
