Sikalastic®-853 R AP
Sikalastic®-853 R AP is a 2-part, hybrid polyurea, hot spray applied, crack-bridging, roof waterproofing membrane. It requires an aliphatic top coat when applied to fully exposed roofs.
- Fast curing, seamless finish
- Good elasticity and elongation at break
- Fast application
- Applied by 2-Component hot spray equipment
- Easily detailed around complex geometries
- Good chemical resistance
- Good adhesion to many substrates with the appropriate primers
- Thickness: ~1.5–2.0 mm
Usage
Designed for the following waterproofing applications:- Flat and sloping fully exposed roofs to UV, protected by an aliphatic topcoat
- New construction and refurbishment projects
- Balcony and terrace decks underneath a protective layer (i.e. ballast, paving slabs, tiles)
- Waterproofing membrane for concrete, metal, pedestrian decks, stadium seating floor application
- For exterior use only

Product Temperature
Important: Make spray equipment fine temperature adjustments to obtain equal output pressures of the 2 parts.
Note: Higher temperatures provide lower viscosity and lower pressure.
| Part A (Resin) | +67 °C |
| Part B (Hardener) | +55 °C |
Ambient Air Temperature
+5 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
85 % max.
Substrate Temperature
+5 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured applied membrane must be at least +3 °C above dew point.
Substrate Moisture Content
≤ 4 % parts by weight.
The following test methods can be used: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet).
Waiting Time / Overcoating
Important: If the maximum waiting time is exceeded then Sika® Sokan Primer-J must be applied as a bonding bridge.
Before applying Sikalastic® U-Coating or ExcelTop High Reflection on Sikalastic®-853 R AP allow:
| Substrate temperature | Minimum | Maximum* |
| +10 °C | ~90 minutes | ~3 hours |
| +20 °C | ~60 minutes | ~2 hours |
| +30 °C | ~30 minutes | ~2 hours |
| +45 °C | ~20 minutes | ~1 hours |
Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
Drying Time
Cup Gel Test: Gel time (+25 °C) starts after ~20 seconds.
Applied Product Ready for Use
| Temperature | Rain Resistant | Foot Traffic |
