Sikagard -700 WT
Siloxane impregnation for concrete and masonry substrates


Description Sikagard -700 WT is a 1-pack solvent free aqueous emulsion of a
modified polymethyl siloxane. It is developed for the water-repellent
impregnation of facades. This product is effective on both alkaline and
neutral substrate.

Uses Fields of application according to ZTV-SIB 90-OS-A and OS-B. Impregna


tion for mineral substrates such as concrete and plaster surfaces, natural
Construction

stone, aerated concrete, brickwork and blockwork, asbestos cement,


mineral paint coats etc, egianst driving rain and dampness .
Please note : Where the masonry substrates are containing salts
(efflorescene) the Aquastop cannot penetrate enough into the pores of the
substrate, thus leading to further efflorescence even after hydrophobing.

Sikagard -700 WT is mainly used to protect facades and exposed
concrete or cementitious mortar surfaces of roads, bridges, pavements etc.
against water ingress and the risk of damage caused by water born polutants.

Sikagard -700 WT is also used as a hydrophobing primer underneath
protective coatings. For more information please contact our technical service
department. Do not use on green concrete.

Advantages - A great reduction in water absorption


- Effective protection even against heavy rain
- Protection against mosture-induced damage
- Prevention of soluble salt booming
- Reduction in thermal conductivity, and thus improved thermal insulation
- Non-tacky finish
- Reduction of dirt deposition
- No impairment of the vapour transmission of the masonry
- Generally no visible change on the surfaces

Test report ZTV-SIB-TL/TP OS-A and OS-B.

Colour White milky liquid

Pack sizes 20 and 5 litres.

Shelf life In original closed containers in cool and dry environment :



approx. 6 months. Sikagard -700 WT is not sensitive to frost.

Product data

Coating system 2x Sikagard -700 WT wet on wet.

Material consumption Approx. 0,2 kg/m2 per application for substrates with normal absorbency.
Material consumption and the number of applications depend entirely on the
surface condition and porosity; in case of doubt a test should be carried out
in ourder to find the exact material consumption and number of applications
required.

Technical data Specific gravity approx. 1.0 kg./ltr.

Resistance Chemical:
de-icing sals, alkali

Hints on application Areas such as window frams, which are to receive a protective coating, must

be masked prior to application of Sikagard -700 WT.

Area not to be impregnated, such as window panes, etc. which are in danger of

being contamianted with Sikagard -700 WT should also be carefully masked
prior to application, as the material cannot be removed afterwards from glass.

Important : When applying Sikagard -700 WT care must be taken where
there are fitted cable lines, plastic control panels or similar. Whereas PVC

is resistant to Sikagard -700 WT, polystyrene elements and other plastic
parts may get damaged.

Condition of substrate Free of dust, soot and dirt, lime efflorescence, salt and paint remnants
etc.must be removed, if necessary with suitable detergents or by light
sand blasting or steam cleaning.

Surface preparation The best impregnation effect is achieved on dry, very absorbent surface,

although Sikagard -700 WT can also be successfully employed on a slightly
damp surface (moisture content not more than 5% by weight).

For fair-faced concrete the application of a test area is strongly recommend


(observe moisture level near substrate down to a depth of approx.
2 cm < 5% pbw).

If there are joints to be filled on concrete surfaces which have been



impregnated with Sikagard -700 WT, e.g. precast concrete elements,
adhesion to these pretreated surfaces will not be impaired. Naturally, the
primers corresponding with respective products must always be used.


Mixing Sikagard -700 WT can be diluted with water at the ratio of

Sikagard -700 WT : water of 1:4 to 9

Application methods Apply liberally by brush or spray


Waiting times between coats Sikagard -700 WT is applied wet on wet

Application tools Brush, roller, low pressures spray gun

Cleaning of implements Water
