Work safely!
Protective clothing must be worn. Wear gloves and eye protection at all
times. Always wash hands with suitable soap after handling products and
before food consumption.
FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REFER TO THE RELEVANT MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA SHEET

04/16, Ver.: 3
4.3 FIRST AID
Seek immediate medical attention in the event of excessive inhalation, ingestion or eye contact
causing irritation. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel.
Flush eyes with plenty of clean water occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. Remove contact
lenses immediately. Continue to rinse eye for 10 minutes and then seek medical attention.
Rinse contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and continue to rinse
for 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REFER TO THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
5 ENVIRONMENT
5.1 CLEANING TOOLS / EQUIPMENT

Immediately after use, clean all tools and application equipment with water (for the water based products) or with
appropriate solvent i.e. Sika Thinner C (for the solvent free or solvent based products). Hardened material can only
be mechanically removed. Refer to the respective data sheet for the exact thinner to be used.
5.2 WASTE DISPOSAL
Do not empty surplus material into drains; dispose responsibly through licensed waste disposal
contractor in accordance with legislation and local / regional authority requirements. Avoid run off
onto soil or into waterways, drains or sewers.
FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REFER TO THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
6 SURFACE PREPARATION
6.1 FOR CONCRETE SURFACE WITHOUT AN EXISTING COATING

6.1.1 GENERAL PREPARATION
The concrete shall be clean and free of dust, dirt, oil, efflorescence and any other residual coatings.
For thin film coating (e.g. Sikagard-550 W Elastic), preparation is best done by light blastcleaning, steam cleaning,
low pressure cleaning (less than 18 MPa - 180 bars), grinding, etc.
Concrete surface profile shall fit to CSP 1, 2 or 3 as per ICRI 03732-7.
CSP 1 CSP 2 CSP 3

04/16, Ver.: 3
For optimum performance protective coatings shall be applied on pore/defect free concrete surfaces. If necessary
apply a levelling layer (e.g. Sikagard®-720 EpoCem®, Sikatop 121®- etc.) to smooth the surface and cover any
defects. Refer to relevant product data sheet or method statement for pore sealer and levelling mortar/coating
applications.
For cement based product such as SikaTop 121 compound allow a curing time of at least 7 days before coating, only
Sikagard®-720 EpoCem® allow a curing time of at least 1 day before coating (refer to product data sheet for more
information)...
6.1.2 PRIMER: COMBINED SYSTEM WITH HYDROPHOBIC IMPREGNATION PRIMER

a hydrophobic impregnation can be used as a primer underneath the coating to avoid localised flaking or peeling.
This will also prevent penetration of deleterious elements at areas of localized coating weaknesses.
Sikagard®-700 S a hydrophobic impregnation can also be used as a primer on the concrete substrate.
Refer to the hydrophobic impregnation method statement for more details in the application procedure
6.2 SURFACE PREPARATION

Sound, free of dust, oil, efflorescence and existing paint coatings. Cracks in concrete must be repaired prior to
application of the hydrophobic treatment. Use suitable product such as Sikatop 121, Sikagard 720 Epocem or
Sikagard Putty.
Cleaning is best achieved by brushing with suitable detergents or by light blast cleaning or steam cleaning etc.
Best results are obtained on dry, very absorbent substrates.
The substrate must look dry with no damp patches or surface moisture.

04/16, Ver.: 3
7 APPLICATION
7.1 BEFORE APPLICATION

Working space shall be clean and tidy with no obstructions.
Record the relative humidity, substrate and ambient temperature.
Do not apply the protective coating if substrate temperature is at dew point. Only apply protective coatings
when the temperature is +3°C above dew point.
External applications shall be adequately protected. Do not apply protective coatings in windy or rainy
conditions, or if there is a risk of frost within 24 hours.
Refer to specific information for each indicated product in the relevant data sheet.
7.2 PRIMING SUBSTRATE (Normal porosity substrates)
Sikagard®-700 S is applied using brush , roller or airless spray, working from top to bottom taking care not to let the product
run.
7.3 MIXING
The materials are supplied ready for use. Stir thoroughly prior to application
It is necessary to re-disperse all the pigments.
7.4 APPLICATION METHOD
7.4.1 NON-FILLED COATING

After opening the pail, mix the coating to prevent any potential decanting of the pigment or any other ingredient,
before application.
For large scale applications, non-filled protective coatings (e.g. Sikagard 550 W Elastic (G)) can be applied with airless spray.
Typical setting of the airless machine is subject to local testing and experience, however as a
guide:
Pressure: 100 to 150 bars
Nozzle: 0,23 (0.009”) to 0,68 mm (0.027”)
Filter: 30 to 100 mesh
Spray angle: 50 to 80°
Hose diameter: 6 mm
When working with airless spray, attention is drawn to the cleanness of the filter as this
might generate blockage of the pump.
For small scale application, protective coating can be applied with a clean long hair roller
or brushes.

04/16, Ver.: 3
7.4.2 FILLED COATING
Before application, it is advisable to further mix the full pail to prevent any potential decanting of the pigment or
any other ingredient.
For large scale applications, filled protective coating such as Sikagard-Putty can be applied with electric screw
pump.
Typical setting of the pump machine is subject to local testing and experience,
however as a guide:
Pressure: 7 to 10 bars
Nozzle: Round nozzle 4.5mm
or
Slotted hole nozzle
Rotor and stator: Fitted for thick coating

RESULTS:
Consumption: First coat of Sikagard 700 S at 100 g/m2 followed by 3 coats of Sikagard 550 W
(350 g/m2 per coat)
1- Determination of water-vapour transmission properties, UNE-EN ISO 7783:2012

- Three cylindrical test specimens have been prepared, approximate surface=0,0079 m2 (100
mm diameter), to test with support or substrate.
- After curing for 28 days in laboratory conditions, the test specimens undergo 3 cycles of
immersion in water and drying.
- Site ambient conditions: 23ºC and 50% R.H.
- Saturated dissolving in capsules: dihydrogen ammonium phosphate (93%RH).
- Pressure difference (Δp)= 1210 Pa.
To create an atmosphere of 93% R.H. inside the capsule, a saturated dissolving with
dihydrogen ammonium phosphate is used, whereby a 50% humidity shall be attained outside
the capsule and 93% inside, thereby reducing the mass of the sample-capsule set.
Final results:

Ceramic specimens have been used as support/substrate: approximate size 150x150mm, 30
mm thick, density 1650 kg/m3 and liquid water transmission index 7,5 Kg/(m2·h0,5).
Once applied on the product, after 28 days curing in laboratory conditions, the test specimens
undergo 3 water immersion and drying cycles, and a final drying.

Final results:
- Test description
The tests were developed according to the applicable sections of the UNE-EN 1062-7:2004.
The dynamic tensile test 1 (section C.3) for a class B (ANNEX B) of the UNE-EN 1062-7:2004
has been performed.
Prior to the test, an instant crack is created at the midpoint of the notch, with a crack width
of less than 100μm.
Given below the measure of the resistance to cracking of the coating is shown, according to
method B section 8 of the reference standard.
The test is developed with a crack width control by a COD extensometer.
The test consist of periodically change the width of the crack at the defined test temperature.
The curve is defined by the frequency f, the width w/2 and the average width of the crack.
For B 3.1 class test parameters are shown in the table 2 and figure 1.

- Results
- Sample 1: After 1.000 cycles any crack appear in all the surface.
Surface of waterproofing layer after 1.000 cycles Surface of waterproofing layer after 1.000 cycles without

FINAL RESULT
THE COATING PASSED THE TEST ACCORDING TO CLASS B.3.1
