Sarnavap®-500 E
Sarnavap®-500 E is an unsupported vapour control layer based on Polyethylen (PE).
- Ease and speed of installation.
- Stays flexible at low temperatures.
- Non-decaying.
- Constant vapour diffusion resistance.
- Recyclable.
Usage
- Vapour control layer (VCL) is applied over most common substrates. Substrates should be smooth, dry and strong enough to support foot traffic.
- If the substrate surface is rough (e.g. row concrete or sloped topping), install a levelling layer beneath Sarnavap®-500 E or use foam-backed Sarnavap®-3000 M.
- Sarnavap®-500 E vapour control layer is used for flat roofs (only for PVC roof systems)
Advantages
- Ease and speed of installation.
- Stays flexible at low temperatures.
- Non-decaying.
- Constant vapour diffusion resistance.
- Recyclable.

Application
Ambient Air Temperature
Ambient temperature: -20 °C min. / +60 °C max.
Substrate Temperature
Substrate temperature: -30 °C min. / +60 °C max.
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Substrates should be smooth, dry and strong enough to support foot traffic.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
In case of rough substrate surface (e.g. raw concrete or sloped topping) install a levelling layer beneath Sarnavap®-500 E.
APPLICATION
- Unroll the Sarnavap®-500 E over the structural deck and temporarily weight in position.
- Unroll the next roll of Sarnavap®-500 E positioning so as to ensure a minimum 80 mm overlap.
- Fold back the top sheet of Sarnavap®-500 E and apply Sarnavap® Tape F (jointing tape) to the bottom sheet.
- Peel off release tape and carefully fold back the top sheet of Sarnavap®-500 E ensuring no wrinkles or creases are formed.
- Apply pressure to the top sheet of Sarnavap®-500 E with a welding roller ensuring good adhesion to the Sarnavap® Tape F. On metal decks the lap should be fully supported in order to apply the correct bonding pressure.
- At transverse joints an airtight bond is achieved by trimming the edge of the upper sheet at 45°.
- At perimeters and penetrations seal the Sarnavap®-500 E by turning up and sealing to a suitable smooth surfaced abutment with Sarnatape®-20. For sealing flashing airtight, porous substrates must first be treated with Primer-130.
Installation works shall be performed only by Sika instructed contractors for roofing.
Installation of some ancillary products, e.g. contact tapes and Primer is limited to temperatures above +5 °C. Please refer to the respective Product Data Sheets.
Special measures may be compulsory for installation below +5 °C ambient temperature due to safety requirements in accordance with national regulations.
