Sikafill®50 Elastic waterproofing covering for roofing
Product Elastic covering of creamy consistency, using styrene-acrylic co-polymers in watery
Description emulsion which, once dry, forms a flexible, waterproofing and durable film. Uses Waterproofing of roofs on different types of substrates: - Very porous tile terrace - Fibrocement Construction
- Tiles - Brick - Mortars - Concrete - Asphalt sheets with finishing of aluminium or slate, etc.
Vertical side walls.
Bridging of joints and cracks. Repair of tiles and zinc eaves gutters. Treatment of meeting points in chimneys.
To apply on PVC or polyester substrates and on top of paint. It is recommended to
carry out previous tests to determine compatibility and whether it is necessary to carry out a sanding beforehand. Characteristics/ Waterproof to rain and splashes. Advantages Excellent elasticity. High weather resistance. Cold application. It is resistant to cracking. It can be used in areas with dilation movements without cracking. Good adhesion to most substrates: concrete, mortar, fibrocement, tiles, bricks, bituminous. Not toxic or inflammable.

1 Sikafill®50 1/3 System Information System Structure - For vertical walls: ® 1 Priming Layer with diluted Sikafill 50. (For very porous substrates). 2 Layers of Sikafill® 50
- For roofing:
1 Priming Layer with diluted Sikafill® 50. (For very porous substrates). ® 1 Layer of Sikafill Placement of Armafill ® mesh ® 1 Layer of Sikafill 50
Application Details Consumption On roofs and terraces: at least 2 kg/m² in two or more layers. On vertical walls: at least 1 kg/m² applied in two coats.
Application Conditions / Limitations Ambient Temperature Min. +5º C / Max. +35ºC. Substrate Temperature Min. +5º C / Max. +35ºC.
Application Instructions Mixing Mix Sikafill® 50 (manually or with a low-revolution mixer) until it is completely homogeneous.
Application Method/ Apply with a short-haired wool roller, brush or by airless gunning. Tools Using a short-haired roller or a brush, apply a layer of the product diluting 3 parts of Sikafill® 50 per 1 part water, making sure that it penetrates well in all the cracks. Once the priming layer is dry (approximately 12 hours after having applied it in normal temperatures and relatively humid conditions), add successive layers of ® Sikafill 50 until the desired film thickness is obtained. Before applying a layer, the previous one has to be completely dry.
Depending on the uses, and in the case of its use being necessary, the Armafill glass fabric reinforcement or the Armafill polyester fabric will be placed on the first, still fresh coat of Sikafill® 50 applied without diluting, covering it with a second ® layer of Sikafill 50 again without diluting.
Characteristics ARMAFILL Material: Glass fabric Weight: 64 g/m2 Thickness: 0.1 mm. Mechanical resistances: Warp: 19 kg/cm2 Weft: 17 kg/cm2 Packaging: 1 x 50 m
Cleaning of Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
Notes on Application/ It should not be used in places where it is in permanent contact with water, due to Limitations storage, flooding or condensations.
It is a finishing paint.
In case that a membrane of greater mechanical resistance is wanted, insert the
Armafill glass fabric reinforcement into the system or insert any other reinforcing system that is compatible with Sikafill® 50 .
Do not place piercing/sharp objects on the treatment.
Not recommended for constant or very long immersion in water.
2 Sikafill®50 2/3 At least 2 coats must be applied on the primer.
Curing Details
Curing Time Not tacky: Approx. 2 hours.
Total curing: Approx. 3-5 hours. (at 20ºC)
