1. SCOPE
This method statement describes the step by step application of waterproofing
mortar for restroom using sikatop seal – 107
2. PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION
Sikatop Seal – 107 is cementitious based, 2 – components polymer modified
waterproofing slurry coating apply to concrete and mortar to prevent water
infiltration.
Uses
Sikatop seal – 107 can be used for external and internal water – proofing, repair
work and protection from and de – icing agents.
Areas of application include potable water tank, basements, terraces and
balconies, bridges, retaining walls, sealing hairline cracks, not subjected to
movement.
Characteristics/ Advantages
Good adhesion even on mat – damp surfaces.
Easy mixing and application
Good adhesion to sound surfaces
Effective barrier against carbonation process
Non-toxic
Non corrosive
Slightly flexible
Can be spray applied

4. APPLICATION
4.1 Substrate Preparation
Concrete, mortar and masonry surfaces must be clean, free from
grease, oil and loosely adhering particles.
Prepare and clean concrete surfaces by suitable mechanical
means such as abrasive blast cleaning or equivalent to ensure
cement laitance, surface contamination (e.g. curing compound) and
all existing coatings are removed.
The resultant surface finish shall be profiled for maximum bond.
a. Repairing Works
Using appropriate Sika repair product range (Sikadur, SikaGrout, etc.) to
repair concrete substrate defects such as cracks, voids, honeycombs (if
any). Refer to relevant PDS for more information.
a. Mixing
Mixing in a clean container by slowly adding the powder component to the
liquid component and stirring with slow speed electric mixer (500 r.p.m.)
DO NOT add any water!
b. Application
Surfaces have to be thoroughly saturated with water prior application of
first coat of SikaTop Seal – 107, but no standing water.
Whilst the substrate is still damp from saturation, apply the first coat at
consumption of approx. 2.0 kg/m2.
Leave to harden for approximately 4-8 hours at the temperatures above
20oC before applying the second coat at consumption of approx. 2.0 kg/m2
in crosswise direction to the first application. For slurry consistency, apply
with hard plastic bristled brush or broom.
For floor application, to avoid risk of damage to the first coat, it is
recommended that the second coat be applied after 24 hours. If the
second coat is applied 12 hours or later, the slightly pre wetted, preferable
using fine spraying.
Notes: please conduct the trial area first before actual application on big
area.
c. Curing
d. Tiling Works
Tiling works shall be proceed using tile adhesive.
Grouting work shall be proceed using tile grout that is suitable
Tiling works shall be carried out according to the latest state of the art
e. Detailing
Generally, failures in waterproofing system occur at details such pipe
penetration, anchor, gully etc.so a particular attention shall be given and
guideline provided in the enclosed drawings shall be followed.
