Beware of condensation. Surface temperature during application must be at least +3 °C above dew point.

< 6 % moisture content.
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet). No water / moisture / condensation on the substrate.

These figures are theoretical and do not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level and wastage etc.

Before applying Sikalastic®-510 BH on primer Sikalastic®-510 BH diluted with 10 % water:

Before applying the base coat of Sikalastic®-510 BH on the second coat of Sikalastic®-510 BH allow intermediate coats to fully cure

¹⁾ Assuming that all dirt has been removed and intercoat contamination is avoided.

Note: Times are approximate and will be affected by coating thickness and changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity. Low temperature and high humidity retard curing, while high temperatures and low humidity accelerate curing progression. The above times are based on a coating thickness of 0.4 kg/m².

All substrates must be prepared using abrasive blast cleaning, scarifying equipment or other suitable mechanical methods and cleaned using high pressure water jet.
Cementitious substrates:
New concrete should be cured for at least 28 days and should have a pull-off strength ≥ 1.5 N/mm². Loose friable material and weak concrete must be completely removed by mechanical means to achieve an open textured surface and all surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to the substrate, filling of joints, blowholes/voids and surface leveling must be carried out using the appropriate Sika® products. Refer to Sika’s Technical Department for further advice. High spots must be removed by for example grinding. Outgassing is a naturally occurring phenomenon of concrete that can produce pinholes in subsequently applied coatings. The concrete must be carefully assessed for moisture content, air entrapment, and surface finish prior to any coating work. Installing the Sikalastic®-510 BH either when the concrete temperature is falling or stable can reduce outgassing. Prime the substrate before applying the Sikalastic®-510 BH systems.
Brick and stone:
Mortar joints must be sound and flush pointed. Use localised reinforcement over connection joints and prime before applying Sikalastic®-510 BH.
 
For other substrates please contact Sika Technical Department.

Prior to application, stir Sikalastic®-510 BH thoroughly for 1 minute in order to achieve a homogeneous mixture using a slow speed (300 - 500 rpm) drill and basket type paint mixer. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

Prior to the application of Sikalastic®-510 BH the priming coat must have cured tack-free. Protect adjacent areas from splashes, over painting, damage etc. with an adhesive tape or plastic. Sikalastic®-510 BH is applied in 2 – 6 coats as per the required system thickness. Prior to the application of each coat the indicated waiting times must be followed.

Sikalastic® Flexitape Heavy or Sika® Reemat Premium is applied at areas having high movements, irregular substrate or to bridge cracks, joints and seams on the substrate. Please note, always begin with detailing works prior to waterproofing the horizontal surface.

Tools: High Pressure Jet Washer (minimum 150 bar): If dust, vegetation, moss / algae or other contaminants are present on the existing roof, a power washer is required to clean the substrate prior to the application of Sikalastic®-510 BH. Existing chippings should be removed by hand or scabbling prior to power washing. Squeegee: Useful when removing excess water from the roof after overnight rain. Drill and paddle: Sikalastic®-510 BH should be mixed for one minute using a slow speed (300-500 rpm) drill and basket type paint mixer. Solvent resistant short-piled roller: Used in the application of Sikalastic®-510 BH to ensure a consistent thickness of the seamless Sikalastic®-510 BH. Thick hair brush: For application of Sikalastic®-510 BH to all details and penetrations.

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
