Product Details

Sika, the global leader in construction chemicals, is reinforcing its commitmenttowards building ever efficient infrastructure. To achieve this, goal, Sika has beencontinuously pursuing innovative technologies. Sika India strives to offer a widerange of waterproofing products and significant step towards that is theacquisition of Texsa India.Texsa India, previously a part of Texsa Group and a force to reckon with in theModified Bitumen membrane segment has state-of-the-art production facility inManda, Jaipur (India). Sika at the Manda factory produces one of the finestspecimens of Modified Bitumen membrane thereby reinforcing its leadershipposition manifold. Through the acquisition of Texsa India, Sika has laid hands on atreasure trove of more than 50 years of rich experience in the Modified Bitumentechnology.Today, Sika India is geared up to supply several varieties of the finest produce ofAPP bitumen membranes for waterproofing solutions. Each of these membranesguarantees superior and consistent quality catering to the diverse needs of themarket. If you have a waterproofing requirement, we have Modified Bitumenmembranes!Sika s APP Technology:Sika s APP/ Plastomeric Bituminous waterproofing membranes are manufacturedfrom a rich mixture of bitumen and selected polymers blended together to obtainexcellent heat resistance, flexibility and durability. Modified bitumen membraneshave a dimensionally stable carrier to obtain excellent tensile strength, tear andpuncture resistance.Uses: It is used as waterproofing /damp proofing membrane for protection of various substrates in wide range of applications. Medium to large roof slabs ( domestic, commercial and industrial) Basements and raft slabs Exposed roofs (Mineral finish membranes) Underground car parks etc. Bridges & Underpass Advantages: Easy to apply Minimum water absorption Easy to install by torching method Long term flexibility Excellent water tightness High tensile strength, tear and puncture resistance Capable of withstanding thermal and structural stresses Highly durable under long term aging Surface Preparation :Concrete, mortar surfaces must be clean, free from grease, oil, and loosely adhering particles.Application Method / Tools:Application procedure may vary slightly depending upon site conditions. However,general guidelines are as follows.Apply solvent / water based primer to a clean, smooth and dry surface by brush,roller or spray. Unroll, align and re-roll correctly before torching. Use gas burner toheat the substrate and thermo fusible film on the underside of the membrane.When the thermo- fusible film melts after torching, the membrane is ready tostick. Roll forward and press firmly against the substrate to bond. Heat the roundtipped trowel and use the same to smoothen and press the seam to overlap. Sideoverlaps should be a minimum of 80 to 100 mm and end overlaps 150 mm.All angles and abutments should be sealed with extra care to ensure full bondage.The edges should be sealed well into the grooves.The membrane should be protected from getting damaged due to ongoing siteactivities. During backfilling either by cement sand plaster or other suitablemethods.Storage Conditions:Rolls must be stored in their original package, in vertical position andunder cool and dry conditions. They must be protected from directsunlight, rain, snow and ice, etc.
