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 Rapid 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 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
