Application Steps
- Substrate Preparation – Concrete: Cure min. 28 days, pull-off strength ≥1.5 N/mm². Mechanically prepare to open texture. Remove laitance, blowholes, voids, and all contaminants. Repair defects with Sikafloor®, SikaDur®, or SikaGard® products. Apply in late afternoon/evening to reduce outgassing. Always prime and use reinforced system on concrete.
- Substrate Preparation – Other: Brick/stone: flush point mortar joints, use localised reinforcement. Slates/tiles: ensure sound and secure; abrade glazed tiles before priming. Bituminous felt/coatings: firmly adhered, no degraded areas, always use fully reinforced system. Metals: abrade to bright metal, reinforce over joints. Timber: sound and firmly fixed.
- Mixing: Stir Sikalastic®-590 thoroughly for 1 minute to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Avoid over-mixing to minimise air entrainment.
- Without Reinforcement: Apply primer (diluted 10% water, ~0.3 kg/m²). Allow to dry tack-free. Apply 1st coat (~0.5 kg/m²) and allow to dry. Apply 2nd coat (~0.5 kg/m²).
- With Sika®-120 Reemat: Apply primer (~0.3 kg/m²). Apply 1st coat (~0.3 kg/m²). Apply 2nd coat (~0.5 kg/m²) wet, then roll in Sika®-120 Reemat ensuring full saturation. Overlap edges min. 5 cm. Apply 3rd coat (~0.5 kg/m²) wet-on-wet. After drying, sand any upstanding fibres, then apply final coat (0.3–0.5 kg/m²).
- Tools: Solvent-resistant short-piled lambskin roller for field areas; thick hair brush for details and penetrations; airless spray (min. 220 bar, 5.1 L/min, 0.83 mm nozzle) for spray application.
- Cleaning: Clean all tools with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
