SikaProof® – Fully-Bonded Membrane System

Sikaproof 2A unique pre or post-applied system that provides a fully-bonded and crack bridging membrane. SikaProof® is made up of an embossed and highly flexible polyolefin membrane, with a unique grid pattern of sealant and a specially designed non-woven fleece.

This system produces a durable mechanical bond to either fresh concrete, using pre-applied SikaProof®-A, or hardened concrete, using post-applied SikaProof®-P. In addition, the sealant prevents any lateral water underflow and migration between the SikaProof® membrane system and the structural concrete.

Sikalastic® – 1K

SikalasticA one component cementitious mortar fibre reinforced for flexible waterproofing. Sikalastic®-1K is a one component, flexible, fibre-reinforced mortar, based on cement modified with special alkali-resistant polymers. It also contains fine fillers, selected graded aggregates, plus special waterproofing additives to produce a flexible mortar that is ideal for waterproofing surfaces subject to flexural strain. Sikalastic®-1K is suitable for application by brush or trowel.
