Waterproofing SIKA Sikagard Protection Facade - 5L, colorless and ready to use for waterproofing facades with a strong beading effect without any changes in the appearance of the substrate. This product also allows an improvement of the thermal insulation (a dry wall has a coefficient of thermal insulation much higher than that of a wet wall) as well as a decrease in the attachment of the mosses and lichens. Advantages: Suppression of the effects of porosity masonry facades, concrete, mortar: an impregnation of Sikagard Protection Facade applied on the surface prevents water infiltration inside uncracked materials Air permeability ensured: the support " breathe Invisible protection: the application of Sikagard Protection Facade does not generally alter the appearance of the material that retains its pattern and natural colors Cleanliness of the facades exposed to rain: the water runoff on parts treated with Sikagard Protection Facade facilitates the elimination of dust, soot Improvement of thermal insulation: a dry wall has a coefficient of thermal insulation much higher than that of a damp wall Decrease of the attachment of foams, lichens Read carefully the instructions before use Characteristics: Density: 1 pH value: 11.5 to 13 Consumption: On mortar: 0.150 to 0.200 l / m2, either 1 liter for 5 to 6 m2 - On porous materials a preliminary test is necessary to determine the exact consumption Temperature of Application: + 5 C Capacity: 5L Color: Colorless Reference: 460390 Packaging: Comes in original packaging Tips: SUPPORT All substrates based on hydraulic binder (cement, lime ...) must have 28 days of age before application, in order to present sufficient surface carbonation. On monolayer coatings containing LIME and on clay materials (bricks, tiles, etc.) that may contain dissolved salts, a 72-hour pre-trial is recommended to check for the occurrence of efflorescence due to the dissolution of these salts. by the Sikagard Protection Facade. Clean and brush the surfaces to be treated, eliminate efflorescence. The support will preferably be dry. Protect windows, aluminum joinery, varnishes and paints. APPLICATION This waterproofing is applied by brush, roller or spray and is applied from top to bottom avoiding dripping. Proceed with the application in a single layer. Dry in a few hours depending on the weather conditions. Protect the treated surface from rain during drying of Sikagard Protection Facade. Use Sika products with care.
