Sika® Igolflex®-618

(former MSeal 618)

Non-fibrated bitumen emulsion

Sika® Igolflex®-618 is a brown-black bitumen liquid emulsion with excellent adhesion, which dries to a tough, seamless, waterproof and protective coating for concrete structures and steel elements.
Suitable for use in tropical and hot climatic conditions.

  • Vapour permeable allows substrate to breathe
  • Reduced chloride penetration due to hard impermeable surfaces
  • Simple and easy to use, no skilled labour required
  • Single component, use as supplied
  • Cold applied, no heating required. Non-slumping
  • Easy application due to paintable consistency, suitable for new and old concrete

Consumption

Typically, a coverage rate of 3 - 5 m2 / litre / coat (minimum 2 coats required).
Coverage rates may vary according to the density, porosity and texture of the concrete to be treated.
Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be sound, even, free from dust, loose particles and any contamination.
Hot and very dry, porous concrete surfaces must be primed by diluting Sika® Igolflex®-618 with clean water at 1:1 ratio (by weight).

APPLICATION

  • Sika® Igolflex®-618 must be stirred well before use.
  • Where a single drum is used for prolonged periods, occasional stirring during application is recommended.
  • Apply evenly and in one direction using a stiff brush.
  • A minimum two-coat application is recommended to avoid possible gaps in the film.
  • Each coat must be allowed to dry before applying the next one at right angles to the first.
 

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use.
