TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Chemical resistance SikaTop®-550 Seal has outstanding wear and weather resistance and good
resistance to sodium hydroxide, calcium chloride, de-icing salts.
SikaTop®-550 Seal coated surfaces exhibit good resistance to mild acids.
Water penetration under pressure Nil (BS EN 12390 Part 8: 2009)
Chloride ion diffusion resistance SikaTop®-550 Seal provides an effective barrier to waterborne salts such as
chlorides and sulphates.
Note: lndependent assessment has shown that even after 12 months constant im-
mersion the chloride ion diffusion co-efficient could not be measured for SikaTop®-
550 Seal.
Permeability to carbon dioxide > 50 m (BS EN 1062-6: 2002 Method A)
Equivalent air layer thickness (SD)
Carbonation resistance SikaTop®-550 Seal is an extremely effective barrier to atmospheric acidic
gases which cause carbonation in concrete structures.
SikaTop®-550 Seal at an applied rate of 1.8 kg/m² gives an equivalent air
layer thickness for carbon dioxide diffusion (R) of 92 m. The accepted min-
imum value for R is 50 m.
Water permeability < 0.1 kg (m2xh0.5) (BS EN 1062-3: 2008)
Chloride Ion Ingress Not measurable after 24 months of testing

For applications in hot climates / environments and /
or on absorbent substrates, thoroughly pre-dampen
the surface immediately prior to the product applica-
tion, but avoid any ponding / standing water on the
surface, which must not be damp to touch and not
