Liquid Waterproofing Additive Sika-1

Sika-1 is a waterproofing product from the Swiss brand Sika, specifically designed to provide waterproofing in various construction projects, especially concrete and mortar structures. With a long history of use in construction and public works, Sika-1 is valued for its ability to block water infiltration, offering an effective and lasting solution against moisture issues. It is commonly applied to protect foundations, walls, water tanks, and underground structures exposed to water pressure.

Features of the Sika-1 Liquid Waterproofing Additive

Sika-1 is a liquid waterproofing additive that integrates directly into concrete or mortar mixes during preparation. This incorporation into the material allows it to function as a bulk waterproofing agent: it is evenly distributed in the concrete or mortar, forming a continuous barrier against water. Unlike other types of waterproofing that are applied only on the surface, Sika-1 ensures the entire material remains waterproof, even in the event of cracks or micro-cracks.

Its innovative formulation allows Sika-1 to easily adapt to various types of mortars for multiple applications, from waterproof coatings for basements to pools, as well as potable water structures and ponds. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of situations.
