Application
2
Coverage  For small and moderate areas : 0.8 – 1.0 kg / m ( 3 coats )
2
 For medium areas (with fibre fabric mesh reinforcement) 1.2–1.4 kg/m (3 coats)
 For PU Foam and steel from 300 – 400 gm/m2 (180 microns DFT)
Surface Preparation All surfaces must be clean, sound and properly cured. Remove all loose materials
mechanically, preferably with wire brush. Insure the joints between tiles are
properly filled with good cemented paste.
Application Step 1
®
Apply Sika Raintite diluted with 10% water by brush or roller.( primer coat )
Step 2
®
Apply a generous coat of Sika Raintite into the primer coat. ( base coat )
Step 3 ( case of large area )
Embed the fiber mesh into the base coat while it is still wet. Insure that the fiber
mesh is thoroughly embedded and smooth out all air buckets. Overlaps of adjacent
membrane must be of minimum of 50 mm.
Construction
Step 4
When touch dry, apply a final topcoat mixed with Sikadur 508 (10 –15 % by weight)
to complete the application.
Important Notes Minimum substrat temperature : + 7 °C
Waiting times between coats: minimum 1 hour and maximum 24 hours.
To minimise the risk of blistering, avoid application of product in or shortly prior to
strong sunlight.
Fiber fabric reinforcement recommended is 0.50 mm made from polypropylene
or polyester.
Final drying 6-7 days.
