- Outside waterproofing and protection of basement walls.
- Inside waterproofing against negative water pressure of basement walls and floors.
- Waterproofing of balconies and terraces on concrete substrate or old tiles.
- General waterproofing of surfaces.
Advantages
- One component. Just add water.
- Versatile application with trowel, roller or brush.
- Good crack-bridging property; maintains its flexible properties over a long time.
- Potable water approved (AS4020:2005).
- High mechanical resistance and optimum adhesion on various substrates like: concrete, mortar, ceramic tiles, clay bricks, wood, masonry.

Application of Sikalastic®1K
General Application
- Using a Spatula - Exert good and even pressure onto the substrate
- Using a Short to medium hair roller - Maintain a homogeneous distribution on the substrate.
- Using a Brush – Apply in 2 directions (diagonally opposite / cross-wise).
- Using a Mechanical Sprayer Applicator - Refer to local Sika Technical Department for details.
Applications Over Joints
- At joints or other critical movement areas (for example junctions with vertical surfaces), the waterproofing should be reinforced by Sika® Seal Tape-S.
- It must be applied directly on the fresh first layer and then covered by the second layer of Sikalastic®1K.
Applications Under Tiles
- Ceramic tiles and vitreous mosaics can be applied on Sikalastic®1K using a specific adhesive (e.g. cement based adhesive with maximum flexibility according to Class C2 EN 12004).
