SikaSeal -250 Migrating

SikaSeal-250 Migrating
Crystalline Waterproofing Cementitious Slurry

Product
Description

SikaSeal -250 Migrating is a 1-component, cement based compound, which is

mixed with water to a slurry consistency that can be applied by brush or spray. The
active ingredients react with moisture and the free lime present in the concrete
capillaries to form a non-soluble, waterproof crystalline structure within the pore
system of the concrete.
Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Uses

SikaSeal -250 Migrating is especially suited for waterproofing of concrete

elements in contact with water (against positive and negative pressure).
Common areas of application:
Basements
Retaining walls
Lift pits
Tunnels
Swimming-pools, reservoirs, channels, sewerage systems, etc.
Concrete slabs

Advantages

Penetrating, in-depth blocking of the capillaries and cracks to 0,4 mm in width

Freeze-thaw resistant
Abrasion resistant
Impermeable to water
Permeable to water vapour
Can be applied to resist positive or the negative pressure
Chemical resistant (i.e. aggressive waters with pH 3 to 11, nitrates, chlorides,
sulphates, etc.)

Consumption (per layer)

Substrate Quality

The concrete shall be free from dust, loose material, surface contamination and
materials which reduce bond or prevent suction or wetting by coating materials.
This can be done by means of light, wet or dry blast cleaning, high pressure water
jetting or other approved mechanical means.

Substrate Preparation

Concrete surfaces must be thoroughly saturated with clean water prior to the

application. When the SikaSeal -250 Migrating is applied, the surface shall be
damp but not wet.
If the concrete surface is very smooth (closed pores), additional surface preparation
must be carried out i.e. by blast cleaning to open the surface pores.

Mixing

SikaSeal -250 Migrating can be mixed with a low speed (<500 rpm) hand drill
mixer. Pour the water in the correct proportion into a suitable mixing container and,
progressively add the powder whilst the mortar is mixed. Mix for 3-4 minutes and
until the required homogeneous consistency is achieved.

Application Method

SikaSeal -250 Migrating can be applied by brush or spray. The first layer of

SikaSeal -250 Migrating must be brushed / forced well into the substrate.

For application by spray, the air pressure shall be approximately 5 bar at ~ 500
lt/min.
Apply the second layer, whilst the first layer is still wet (using wet on wet
techniques), after approximately 4 hours at 20C (also dependent on humidity and
air flow, etc).
Curing

The concrete structure must be damp for at least 5 days after application to ensure
correct curing.

Cleaning of Tools

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.

Notes on Application /
Limits

Do not add water more than the recommended dosage.

Protect freshly applied material from freezing and rain at least during the first 24
hours.
Avoid application in direct sun and/or strong winds.

Do not apply SikaSeal -250 Migrating at temperatures below +5 C.
