MPN: 881475

Barcode: 7612894695649

Sika Maxmix Concentrated Integral Waterproofer is a liquid admixture that reduces water permeability in sand, cement renders, screeds, and mortars.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for building professionals and contractors working on projects requiring water-resistant cementitious mixes. It is also suitable for serious DIY users tackling moisture-prone construction tasks.

The admixture is intended for use in pool and tank linings, external renders, below-ground structures, flooring screeds, and general masonry where water resistance is needed.

Key Features

• High Concentration Formula: One litre equals 25 litres of standard waterproofing solution, providing extended coverage.
• Freeze-Thaw Resistance: Helps protect structures from damage caused by repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
• Improved Workability: Gives mortar a smoother consistency for easier application.
• Efflorescence Reduction: Limits salt deposits on renders and screeds.
• Compact Packaging: Lightweight container simplifies handling and storage.
• Reduces maintenance costs by preventing cracks, shrinkage, and frost damage.
• Optimises mixing and application processes, saving time and effort.

Practical Applications

Sika Maxmix Concentrated Integral Waterproofer is ideal for:

• Pool and tank linings to prevent water seepage.
• External renders and pointing to protect against dampness and weather exposure.
• Screeds for flooring projects in areas prone to moisture.
• Below-ground structures where water resistance is critical.
• General masonry works that require durable, water-resistant mortar.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This admixture is added during the mixing stage of mortar, render, or screed preparation. It becomes an integral part of the cementitious mix, modifying its properties before application. Once mixed and applied, it cures within the material to provide water resistance throughout the structure’s life.

The product is used as part of a system: added to the mix in correct proportions, thoroughly blended, then applied to the substrate. Proper curing after application ensures the water-resistant properties develop fully.

Specifications

• Mixing Ratio: 20-40ml per 50kg of cement
• Coverage Equivalent: 1 litre equals 25 litres of standard waterproofing liquid
• Storage Life: Up to 24 months when stored correctly
• Primary Function: Reduces water permeability in cementitious mixes
• Compatible Materials: Sand, cement renders, screeds, mortars

Application Guidelines

1. Preparation:
   • Make sure all tools and surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose debris or contaminants.
2. Mixing Ratio:
   • Add 20-40ml of Sika Maxmix per 50kg of cement, adjusting the dosage based on desired water-resistance levels.
3. Blending:
   • Mix thoroughly in a mixing bucket with sand, cement, and water to achieve a uniform consistency.
4. Application:
   • Apply the prepared mixture as required, whether for rendering, pointing, or screeds, using a gauging or pointing trowel for neat finishes.
5. Curing:
   • Allow sufficient drying time under suitable conditions, protecting the applied material from extreme weather during early curing stages.
6. Cleaning Tools:
   • Wash all equipment immediately after use to prevent material hardening.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• To maintain product efficacy for up to 24 months, keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry location.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or frost to prevent degradation of the formula.
• Regularly inspect stored containers for signs of damage or leaks.
