This method statement describes the application of Sikatop Seal-107, a 2-component polymer modified cementitious waterproofing slurry coating, for waterproofing a restroom underneath tiling work. The substrate is prepared by cleaning and profiling the surface. Any repairs are made using Sika repair products. Sikatop Seal-107 is applied in two coats by mixing the powder and liquid components and brushing the slurry onto the pre-wetted substrate. The coated surface is cured for 3-5 days before tiling work begins 7 days later. Details like pipe penetrations require special attention to prevent waterproofing failures.

METHOD STATEMENT
SIKATOP SEAL – 107
USES: WATERPROOFING FOR RESTROOM USING SIKATOP SEAL – 107
UNDERNEATH TILING WORK
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
3. SYSTEM BUILD UP 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.
4.3 Application of waterproofing layer Sikatop Seal – 107
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
It is essential to cure Sikatop Seal – 107 immediately after application for
a minimum of 3 to 5 days to ensure full cement hydration and to minimize cracking. Use polythene sheeting or similar approved methods. Further treatment (e.g. tilling works) shall be carried out after a waiting period of at least 7 days at 20oC
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.
Note: Please refer to relevant PDS for more information.
