SikaTop® Seal-109 LK
POLYMER-MODIFIED, FLEXIBLE, CEMENTITIOUS WATERPROOFING COATING
SikaTop® Seal-109 LK is a cementitious, two-part, polymer-modified flexible waterproofing coating. It is applied to concrete and mortar to prevent water infiltration.
- Good crack bridging capability (up to 1 mm at +20 °C)
- Pre-batched components
- Mixes and applies easily
- Easily applied by roller or brush
- Good adhesion to sound substrates
- Impermeable
- Increased frost and salt resistance
- Decreases carbon dioxide penetration
- Non-toxic, same as cement
- Flexible
- Resistant to freezing and thawing (-10 °C)
- Economical
Usage
Waterproofing, sealing of hairline cracks and as a protective coating against aggressive elements such as carbon dioxide (for example, in concrete repair work), frost and de-icing agents. Areas of application include water tanks, basements, car parks, terraces, balconies, bridges, retaining walls, swimming pools, RC gutters, bathroom floors and walls, planter boxes, wet rooms for example kitchens, waste water treatment plants, shower rooms and laundries.Advantages

Consumption
For bathroom floors, shower area floors and wet kitchen floors, minimum 2 coats at approximately 1.0 kg/m² per coat. Splash zone area of wall with tiles, eg. bathroom wall, shower area wall and wet kitchen wall, 1 coat at approximately 1.0–1.5 kg/m² per coat. All other areas, minimum 2 coats at approximately 1.0 kg/m² per coat. For areas subject to high water ingress, apply a third coat at 1.0 kg/m²
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Absorbent surfaces have to be thoroughly saturated with water prior to application of first coat of SikaTop® Seal-109 LK. However, no loose standing water should be on the surface before application.
MIXING
Under normal circumstances, when the full quantities of both parts are mixed together, a creamy consistency will result. Mix in a clean container by slowly adding the powder part to the liquid part and stirring with a paddle attached to a slow speed mixer (400 - 500 rpm).
APPLICATION
Whilst the substrate is still damp but free from standing water, apply the first coat by brush, broom, roller or squeegee (if the surface is flat enough), working the material well into the substrate to achieve full bond. Allow 4–8 hours (+20 °C) for the first coat to cure before applying the following coats in the same manner. For large areas, SikaTop® Seal-109 LK can be applied by spray using a suitable worm type mixer/pump. An additional stripe coat is recommended over cracks, wall/floor intersections, etc. as these locations are where movement is most likely to be expected in service.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
