Approximate drying time between coats.
| 5° C | 90+ minutes |
| 23°C | 60+ minutes |
Drying times will be influenced by airflow, humidity, temperature, surface porosity and environment conditions. Use table as a guide only.
| Ready for tiling after 2nd coat | 4 hours |
| Ready for flood testing | 24 hours |
| Return to service | 3 days |
Sika® Aqua Blok® Rapid shall be applied in a minimum of 2 coats to both wall and floor substrates.
Walls application coverage rate: 0.4 Litres per m2 per coat.
Floor & perimeter skirting application coverage rate : 0.8 Litres per m2 per coat.
Concrete:
All new concrete slabs must have a wood float finish and be allowed to cure for at least 6 weeks Old concrete must be cleaned with a strong commercial grade detergent or degreaser. Residue must then be thoroughly washed off with clean water. Allow the surface to dry for at least 24
hours. If the concrete (new or old) has a steel trowel or power float finish, it must be mechanically abraded to expose the aggregate. Laitance must be removed prior to application.
Renders & Screeds:
New rendered or screeds surfaces must have a wood float finish and be allowed to cure for at least 7 days.
Light Weight Block / Hebel, and Cement Coated Polystyrene Boards:
Prime the surface with 2 coats of suitable Sika primer
Construction Sheeting & Boards:
All surfaces to be waterproofed must be firm, clean, dry, structurally sound and smooth. All grease, oil, wax, curing compounds, dust, loose material, laitance and other contaminants must be removed. All projections and rough spots should be dressed off to achieve a flat surface. The substrate surface must be continuous and not pond water with adequate falls to waste as required.
Substrate Priming:
All substrates shall be primed prior to the application of Sika® Aqua Blok® Rapid
| Application | Primer |
| Porous substrates | Eco Prime WB
Davco Ultraprime Davco PrimeX Siklastic Moisture Seal |
| Non Porous Substrates | Sika Prep n Prime |
| Early aged screeds and concrete | Sikalastic Moisture Seal |
Static Crack and Sheet Joint Treatment:
For static cracks 0.5–3 mm wide rout out and clean thoroughly before filling with Sika® Neutral Cure Silicone to form a bond breaker. For all sheet joints and seams clean thoroughly and fill with a Sika sealant to form a bond breaker, apply a liberal coat of Sika® Aqua Blok® Rapid extending 100 mm either side of the crack/joint and place bandage into the wet membrane, press down firmly to ensure good contact, apply another liberal coat of Sika® Aqua Blok® Rapid to the entire surface to embed the bandage. For dynamic cracks, expansion joints and control joints contact Sika® technical service for advice.
Suitable sealants include;
Bond Breaker:
AquaBlok® Rapid has high extensibility and is designed for use with a 12 mm bond breaker, a bead of Sika® Neutral Cure Silicone must be tooled off to form a 12 mm wide bond breaker. A bond breaker must be installed at areas subject to movement, wall/wall junction, wall/floor
junction, sheet joints and seams, penetrations and where there is a change in the direction or substrate type.
Suitable Bond breakers include;
Ensure bond breakers are adequately cured in accordnace to product datasheets.
Clean tools and equipment with clean water while the material is still wet. Cured coating can only be removed mechanically.
Colour accuracy disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
