SIKATOP 550 – Acrylic cementitious waterproofing coating.

Previously (MASTER SEAL 550): -


1) Perfect barrier to waterborne Salts and atmospheric gases.
2) Waterproofing.
3) Water permeability <0.1kg(m2*h0.5)
4) Water penetration under pressure is Nil. As per BS EN 1062-6: 2002
method A)
5) Permeability to carbon dioxide is >50m.
6) Protection against carbonation and chloride attack.
7) Vapour barrier behind cladding.
8) BS 6920: Part 1 2000 – perfect for portable water.
9) Low emitting material as per Al Sa ’fat – Dubai Green Building
Evaluation System by DCL.
10) Barrier to waterborne salts – chlorides and sulphates – after 12
months of constant immersion chloride ion diffusion cannot be measured.
11) Good resistance to mild acids attacks.
12) Barrier to atmospheric gases which causes carbonation in
concrete.
13) Carbon diffusion rate (R) of sika top is 92m while minimum is 50m.
14) Overcoating time: - +20⁰C ~6hours & +30⁰C ~3hours.
15) Can be applied to 24hours old concrete thus no need for moisture test
and can speed up the whole project.
16) We can apply 2 coats and backfilling within 2days /48 hours
