Practical Applications

The Sika Damp Proofing Slurry excels in a variety of scenarios, making it a trusted choice for professionals and homeowners alike. Its design delivers effective results across multiple uses:

• Waterproofing residential and commercial basements.
• Creating damp-proof linings for cellar walls and floors.
• Protecting water tanks, swimming pools, and planters from leakage.
• Providing external waterproofing for new builds and existing structures.
• Shielding concrete and masonry surfaces from moisture damage.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This damp-proofing slurry is typically applied during the waterproofing stage of construction or renovation projects. After surface preparation and before finishing treatments, it creates the moisture barrier that prevents water ingress into structures.

The product forms part of a system where proper substrate preparation, correct mixing ratios, and adequate curing time between coats are essential for achieving the specified waterproofing performance and thickness requirements.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Make sure the area is clean, free of debris, and structurally sound.
   • Remove any loose material or coatings that might hinder adhesion.
   • Use a masonry brush to clear dust and loose particles before application.
2. Mixing Instructions:
   • For brush application, mix 4.5-4.7 litres of water per 25kg bag.
   • Adjust the water ratio slightly for trowel or spray applications as needed.
3. Application:
   • Apply the first coat evenly using a brush, trowel, or sprayer.
   • For waterproofing, aim for a minimum of 4mm thickness applied over two coats.
4. Drying and Overcoating:
   • Allow the first coat to set before applying the second, ideally within 24 hours.
5. Post-Application:
   • Protect the finished surface with a levelling screed if used for flooring.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain product quality and shelf life.
• Clean tools immediately after use to prevent the slurry from hardening.
• Regularly inspect the coated surface for potential damage or punctures.
