Sika Flexible Membrane Technologies, in concert with White Box Technologies, (see Watertight Concrete
Brochure) allow for the design and construction of totally watertight structures. Sika waterproofing technologies are available to meet all requirements for waterproofing of a structure.

THE SINGLE LARGEST CAUSE OF DAMAGE to the building envelope is commonly accepted to be attributed
to water ingress.A clear understanding of the building environment including its application requirements, as
well as current and future surrounds, is crucial to establishing a strong set of waterproofing requirements.
Requirements analysis is the crucial first stage in the development of a robust waterproofing specification
that will allow a construction that provides optimal longevity, as well as low operation and maintenance
costs. A holistic life cycle approach is recommended to achieve this goal. This same approach is also recommended when remedial works are required.

SUB-GRADE WATERPROOFING
SYSTEMS
SIKALASTIC-1K

When selecting a sub-grade waterproofing system the following should be considered;

Ground water pressure
Ground water or soil contaminants
Geological stability
Construction methodology
Allowable water ingress or dampness
Life expectancy requirement

Flexible cementitious based membrane

Potable water certified
Provides anti-carbonation protection to concrete
Simple to use. Just add to water
Suitable for use on various substrates
can be applied to damp substrates
Recommended for protection of structures subject to flexural
loads

THE GROUND CONDITIONS

Basements are immersed in differing levels of groundwater, and aggressive influences including damp soil contact, percolating water,
water under hydrostatic pressure plus aggressive chemicals in solution, different soil, gravel and rock, etc. These all require different and
often specific waterproofing treatments to be applied to the structure.

SIKALASTIC POLYUREA
Plural component, liquid applied membrane
Very fast cure
Rapid application
Suitable for use on various substrates
Good elongation and tensile strengths
Low VOC, 100% solids

Third party tested watertight integrity for all detailing / termina
tions (to 5 bar [50m] head of water pressure)
Very good elongation characteristics [>450%] and tensile
strength
Grid Seal Technology to eliminate lateral flow of water in the
event of damage to 7 bar (70m)

Polymeric based membrane, available in PVC or TPO, are well

proven in construction globally.
Offers design life performance of more than 100 years
Used in the most demanding of waterproofing applications
Quality assurance systems to provide surety in watertight
integrity
Can offer Totally Dry waterproofing when combined with Sika
waterbar, and Sika Control systems
Offers the most cost effective long term waterproofing solution

All sub-Grade systems can be optionally interfaced with SikaDur Combiflex SG, Sika waterbars, SikaSwell and SikaFuko injection hoses
to provide the highest levels of watertight integrity, as well as provide redundancy to the primary waterproofing system. [as is recommended in BS8102:2009]
