Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Substrates shall be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, existing coatings, surface treatments, dust, loose friable particles, cement laitance and other poorly adhering materials.

Prior to the installation of Sikaplan® WT 4220-18 H. The substrate must be disinfected by spraying disinfectant Sikagard® SB, or similar.

If a cushion layer is not specified. Install a geotextile (non-woven fabric) with minimum density of 300 g/m2 beneath the membrane.
