Usage

SikaShield® E55 PE SA EG 2 mm is a cold and post-applied self-adhesive sheet waterproofing membrane. The system is applied on existing below ground concrete structures to provide damp-proofing and waterproofing: 
  • On horizontal slabs and protrusions
  • On single and strip foundations or slabs
  • On the outside of external walls  

Advantages

  • old-applied and self-adhesive (no heating or open flames required)
  • Fully bonded sheets 
  • Resistant to aggressive mediums in natural ground water and soil
  • Controlled layer thickness 
  • Easy, fast and secure application, without special equipment

Application

Application Information

Dew point

The substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point to reduce the risk of condensation and so limited adhesion

Ambient air temperature

+20 °C min. / +50 °C max.

Relative air humidity

<80 %

Substrate temperature

+20 °C min. / +50 °C max.

Substrate moisture content

Dry, ≤ 4 % moisture content, no rising moisture
Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

The substrate must be uniform, firm, smooth and free of any sharp protrusion or burrs, clean, dry, free of grease, bitumen, oil, dust and loosely adhering particles

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Unevenness and surface defects (such as blowholes, voids, honeycombing, cracks, protrusions, etc.) in the surface must be pretreated and filled prior to the application, in order to prevent any subsequent damage to the membrane sheets. For more detailed information
please refer to the current Method Statement for theSikaShield® E55 PE SA EG 2 mm  membrane system. A suitable primer has to be used for an optimal bond between SikaShield® E55 PE SA EG 2 mm membrane sheets and the concrete substrate, for example:
▪ SikaBit® P-11 SA
▪ SikaBit® P-12 AE
