Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured applied membrane must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the membrane finish.

The Product can be applied on substrates with a moisture content of ≤ 4 %. The substrate must be visibly dry with no standing water.

The following test methods can be used to determine the substrate moisture content:

• Sika®-Tramex meter
• CM-measurement
• Oven-dry-method

• The product  is formulated for fast curing.
• Material in opened containers must be applied immediately.  
• Pot life will decrease at higher temperatures and increase at
  lower temperatures.

Application equipment

• Fleece roller
• Squeegee
• Brush

IMPORTANT

The supporting structure must be of sufficient structural strength to support the new and existing layers of the roof build-up. The complete roof system including existing layers must be designed and secured against wind uplift loadings.

General

• Tensile adhesion strength of the substrate must be a minimum of 1.5 N/mm². If necessary, verify this by applying a test area first.
• Substrates must be free of standing water (no puddles), clean and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.
• All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product and associated system products, preferably by industrial vacuuming equipment.
• To confirm adequate surface preparation and Sikalastic®-631 adhesion, carry out a small trial before full application together with adhesion tests as required.

2. Remove completely or repair any degraded or missing sections.
3. Volatile bitumen must be sealed with Sikalastic® Metal Primer before applying coating system.
4. Remove loose granules/debris before continuing with installation process.

Bituminous coatings

IMPORTANT

Always use a fully reinforced system over bituminous coatings.

IMPORTANT

Old existing coatings which are not fully bonded to substrate must be removed.

2. Remove any loose layers.
3. Thoroughly clean with soap and water and allow to dry.
4. Apply Sikalastic® Metal Primer over the complete coating.

Brick and stone

1. Brick, stone and mortar joints must be sound and preferably flush finished.

Concrete

1. Substrate must be sound with a minimum tensile adhesion strength of 1.5 N/mm², clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, laitance, surface treatments and loose friable material.
2. New concrete must be cured for at least 28 days and have a tensile strength > 1.5 N/mm².
3. Substrates must be prepared mechanically using suitable substrate preparation equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured gripping surface profile suitable for the product thickness.
4. High spots can be removed by grinding.
5. Weak cementitious substrates must be removed and surface defects such as blow holes and voids must be fully exposed.
6. Repairs to the substrate, filling of joints, blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials. Products must be cured before applying Sikalastic®-631.
7. Remove dust by industrial vacuuming equipment.  

Ferrous metals

1. Metals and existing coatings must be in a sound surface condition.

IMPORTANT

Do not dilute with solvent or water.

Note: Mixing is not required, however if the product has separated, stir gently by manual or mechanical equipment thoroughly to achieve a uniform colour.

• Sikalastic®-631 is supplied ready for use.
• Before application, mix for at least 1 minute or until the liquid and all the coloured pigment has achieved a uniform colour.  

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

Note:Protect areas adjacent to the application from splashes with tape or plastic wrapping.

Note:Confirm waiting / overcoating times of any previous coats, is achieved before applying subsequent coats. (Refer to waiting / overcoating time in Application Information)

Note:Confirm product application conditions: substrate moisture content, substrate, air and product temperatures, relative humidity and dew point (Refer to Application information).

Note:Always begin application with detailing (i.e. corners, upstands, joints etc) before installation of the main horizontal surfaces.

Reinforced coating system

Primer (If required)

IMPORTANT

Make sure the primer on the substrate is continuous and pore free.

Base coat

1. Pour the stirred product onto the substrate. The consumption is specified in the System Data Sheets of SikaRoof® i-Cure systems.
2. Apply the product evenly over the surface with a brush, fleece roller or a squeegee.

Reinforcement

IMPORTANT

Make sure reinforcement overlaps are greater than 50 mm.

Note:It is recommended to work 1.0 m at a time, lengthways, applying the 1st coat and embedding the reinforcement.

2. Use a short pile roller to roll over the reinforcement and resin several times.
3. The reinforcement fibres must be fully encapsulated within the resin.
4. Protect product from heavy rain or rain showers until dry to prevent surface damage.
