Technical Overview
Sikalastic®-1K is a light grey, cementitious mortar with a maximum grain size of approximately 0.3 mm. It exhibits exceptional crack-bridging ability, tensile adhesion strength, and <\ctrl75>```html capillary absorption. The product provides reliable water penetration resistance under pressure and negative pressure, and it is permeable to water vapor while offering excellent resistance to carbon dioxide. Its Euroclass A2 reaction to fire rating ensures safety in various applications.
Chemical Properties: Cement modified with alkali resistant polymers, selected aggregates, fine fillers admixtures, additives and fibres.
Application Temperature Range: Apply between 5°C and 35°C for optimal performance. Substrate temperature should also be within this range.
Application Information
- Required Tools: Low-speed hand drill mixer, brush, trowel, or spray equipment. Sika® Seal Tape S or Sikadur Combiflex® SG System for joints.
- Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure substrates are structurally sound, clean, and properly dampened. Follow specific mixing ratios for brush or trowel application. Apply in at least two layers for standard applications.
- Common Issues and Solutions: Do not smooth with a float or trowel. Protect from rain for 24-48 hours after application. Avoid direct contact with chlorinated water without protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sikalastic®-1K
Q: What is Sikalastic®-1K used for?
A: Sikalastic®-1K is used for flexible waterproofing and protection of concrete structures, including tanks, basins, pipes, bathrooms, showers, terraces, balconies, swimming pools, external wall surfaces, and for the flexible protection coating of reinforced concrete.
Q: How do you apply Sikalastic®-1K?
A: Sikalastic®-1K can be applied by brush, spray, or trowel. For optimal waterproofing performance, apply by trowel in at least 2 layers to a total thickness of at least 3 mm. When applying by brush, apply in a minimum of 2-3 layers, with each layer being a maximum of 1 mm thick.
Q: Is Sikalastic®-1K suitable for use in contact with drinking water?
A: Yes, Sikalastic®-1K is certified according to AS/NZS 4020: 2005 for use in contact with drinking water. However, ensure it is completely hardened and wash carefully before contact, following local regulations.
Q: What surface preparation is required before applying Sikalastic®-1K?
A: Substrates must be structurally sound, clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Clean surfaces by blast cleaning, high-pressure water-jetting, wire-brushing, grinding, etc. Repair concrete substrates as necessary.
Q: What are the storage requirements for Sikalastic®-1K?
A: Sikalastic®-1K should be stored properly in the original packaging, in cool and dry conditions. Protect it from water. The shelf life is 6 months from the date of production.
