Application

Application Information

Ambient Air Temperature

41 °F (5 °C) min. / 95 °F (35 °C) max.

Relative Air Humidity

80 % R.H. max.

Substrate Temperature

41 °F (5 °C) min. / 140°F (60°C) max.

Dew Point

Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured coating must be ≥ 5 °F (3 °C) above dew point.

Substrate Moisture Content

≤ 4 % moisture content Test method: Sika®-Tramex meter
No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene-sheet)

Pot Life

Sikalastic®-641 Lo-VOC is designed for fast curing. High temperatures combined with high air humidity will increase the curing process. Thus, material inopened containers should be applied immediately. In opened containers, the material will form a film after 1–2 hours approx. ( at 75 °F (24 °C) and 50 % R.H.)

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All substrate surfaces shall be clean, dry and sound. Acceptable substrates include: sound concrete and cementitious screed, metals, wood, modified bitumen, mineralized felt, EPDM, hypalon, TPO, sprayed polyurethane foam, brick and stone, slate and tile, and existing liquid applied membranes. Reference separate System Data Sheet for specific surface preparation requirements.

Primer
Apply primer of a type suitable for the substrate. Allow primer to cure completely before applying Sikalastic®-641 Lo-VOC resin. Reference separate System Data Sheet for specific primer recommendations.

MIXING

No mixing necessary

APPLICATION

Sika Reemat - Base Resin
Apply Sikalastic®-641 Lo-VOC resin to the primed substrate surface by means of 1/2” (12.7 mm) nap phenolic resin core roller or brush at the specified application rate to achieve a uniform and consistent wet mil thickness (reference separate System Data Sheet). Material can also be squeegee or spray applied, in which case it should also be backrolled. Apply Sika Reemat into the wet embedment resin and roll the scrim to achieve full saturation and embedment. Reemat shall be cut to conform to substrate transitions and flashing conditions, with a typical 2” (50.8 mm) reinforcement overlap. Resin shall saturate the Reemat from below. Apply additional Sikalastic®-641 Lo-VOC resin as required to ensure full scrim embedment. Allow to cure completely before applying subsequent resin layers.

  

Sika Reemat - Intermediate and Top Resin
Apply Sikalastic®-641 Lo-VOC resin to the cured Sikalastic®/Reemat base layer by means of 1/2” (12.7 mm) nap phenolic resin core roller or brush at the specified application rate to achieve a uniform and consistent wet mil thickness (reference separate System Data Sheet). Material can also be squeegee or spray applied, in which case it should also be backrolled. Allow to cure completely before applying any subsequent resin layer, if specified.

  

Sika Fleece
Apply Sikalastic®-641 Lo-VOC resin to the primed substrate surface by means of 1/2” (12.7 mm) nap phenolic resin core roller or brush to achieve a uniform and consistent thickness, applying approximately 2/3 of the resin required to achieve the specified application rate (reference separate System Data Sheet). Apply Sika Fleece into the wet embedment resin and roll the fleece to achieve partial saturation and full embedment. Fleece shall be cut to conform to substrate transitions and flashing conditions, with typical 3” (76.2 mm) side and 6” (152.4 mm) end reinforcement overlaps. Resin shall saturate the Fleece from below. Apply remaining 1/3 of the specified resin quantity to to ensure full fleece saturation and an even resin application.

 

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with appropriate solvent immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically
