Roof Coating*

Sikalastic®-560 is applied in 2 or 3 coats

*For partial reinforcement Sikalastic® Fleece-120 is applied at areas with high movement, irregular substrate or to bridge cracks, joints and seams on the substrate as well as for details. On bitumen felt a fully reinforced roof waterproofing system has to be applied.

For primer, please refer to the Substrate Pre-Treatment table below.

Reinforced Roof Waterproofing

Sikalastic®-560 is applied in 1 coat, reinforced with Sikalastic^® Fleece-120 or Sika^®-120 Reemat and sealed with 1 - 2  coats of Sikalastic®-560

Note: Do not apply more than 0.75 kg/m² of Sikalastic®-560 per coat for layers without reinforcement.

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

The surface must be sound, of sufficient strength, clean, dry and free of dirt, oil, grease and other contamination. Depending on the material the substrate must be primed or mechanically cleaned. Grinding may be necessary to level the surface.
Suitable substrates are such as: concrete, bituminous felts and coatings, metal, brickwork, asbestos cement, ceramic tiles, wooden substrates.

Prime the substrate and always use a reinforced system.

• Brick and stone: Mortar joints must be sound and preferably flush pointed. Use localized reinforcement over joints and prime before applying Sikalastic®-560.
• Slates, Tiles, etc.: Ensure all slates/tiles are sound and securely fastened, replacing obviously broken or missing sections. Fully glazed tiles must be abraded prior to priming and subsequent treatment with Sikalastic®-560.
• Bituminous Felt: Ensure that bituminous felt is firmly adhered or mechanically fixed to the substrate. Bituminous felt should not contain any badly degraded areas. Prime and always use a totally reinforced system.
• Bituminous Coatings: Bituminous coatings should not have sticky or mobile surfaces, volatile mastic coatings, or old coal tar coatings. Prime and always use a totally reinforced system.
• Metals: Metals should be in sound condition. Abrade the exposed surfaces to reveal bright metal. Use locally reinforcement over joints and fixings.
• Wooden substrates: Timber and timber based panel roof decks are to be in good condition, firmly adhered, or mechanically fixed.
• Paints/Coatings: Ensure the existing material is sound and firmly adhered. Remove any oxidized layers and use localized reinforcement over joints.

Prior to application, stir Sikalastic®-560 thoroughly for 1 minute in order to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

Prior the application of Sikalastic®-560 the priming coat if used must have cured tack-free. For the Waiting Time / Overcoating please refer to the PDS of the appropriate primer. Damageable areas (door frame) have to be protected with an adhesive tape

Roof Coating: Sikalastic®-560 is applied in two or three coats. Prior to the application of a 2^nd coat the indicated waiting time in the table above shall be allowed.

Roof Waterproofing: Sikalastic®-560 is applied in combination with Sikalastic^® Fleece 120 or Sika^®-120 Reemat.

1. Apply first coat of approx. 0.75 kg/m² (for non-absorbing substrates) – 1.00 kg/m² (for absorbing substrates) of Sikalastic®-560 on a length of approx. 1m.
2. Roll in the Sikalastic^® Fleece-120 or Sika^®-120 Reemat and ensure that there are no bubbles or creases. Overlapping of the fleece minimum 5 cm.
3. Apply second coat of approx. 0.25 kg/m² - 0.5kg/m² coat right into the wet fleece to achieve the required film thickness. The entire application shall happen while Sikalastic®-560 is still liquid, wet in wet.
4. Repeat step 1–3 until the roof area is waterproofed.
5. After the two coats are dry, seal the roof area with one or more additional coats of Sikalastic®-560 (≥ 0.5 kg/m² per coat).

Please note, always begin with details prior starting with waterproofing the horizontal surface.

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