Consumption
-
Build-up Minimum of two coats at >= 0.8 litre / m2
applied, with second coat at 900 to the first coat
-
Wet Film Thickness ~ 0.8mm per coat
-
Dry Film Thickness For 1.0mm DFT (minimum)
-
* consumption figures are theoretical and do not allow
for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile,
variations in level and wastage etc.
Substrate Preparation
Concrete / Cementitious Substrate, For standard
applications concrete should be cured for at least 28 days and be free of dust,
dirt, curing compounds and other contaminants. Any cracks or voids larger than
1mm should be filled
Other substrates, Should be free of dust, dirt, and other
contaminants.

note: times are based upon ambient / substrate
temperature and relative humidity of 18oC & 50%
Application Conditions / Limits
Substrate Temperature min. +10oC; max. +35oC
Ambient Temperature min. +10oC; max. +35oC
Ambient Humidity max. 85% r.h.
Dew Point Beware of condensation! The substrate and
uncured membrane temperature must be at least 3oC above the dew point to reduce
the risk of condensation or blooming on the membrane finish.
Application Instructions
Application Method SikaTite UnderTile can be easily
applied by brush or roller. Care is to be taken to ensure that minimum material
consumption is met per the Consumption table.
Floor Wall Joints Joints must be treated either using
SikaTite ElastoJoint bandage system, or using SikaSil Pro, or other Sika
neutral cure silicon. If SikaSil is used it must be left for minimum 24 hours
at 180 C before it can be overcoated with SikaTite UnderTile membrane.
Terminations Where a terminating sealant is required,
such as around windows, Sikaflex Clear should be used.
Application Tools By brush: with a soft bristle brush By
roller: with a solvent resistant, non-shedding synthetic nylon roller
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tolls and application
equipment with water and detergent immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured
material can only be removed mechanically.
Curing Details
Overcoating Window
Overcoat 4-6 hours
Tile 48 hours
*~23°C / 50% r.h. ** recommended for use with CTA tiling
adhesives.
Note: times are approximate and will be affected by the
layer thickness, the substrate temperature.
Notes on Application / Limitations
SikaTite Non-Porous Primer should be used on metal
substrates SikaTite Elastojoint bandages, corners, and tap flanges recommended
for detailing Not to be used on substrates with rising damp Contact Sika
