System Structure
System
- Sikalastic®-833 R ALU
- Primers:
| Substrate | Primer |
| Cementitious substrates, tiles, stones, ceramic tiles (unglazed) | Sikafloor®-151 lightly broadcasted* with quartz sand 0,3–0,8 mm or Sika® Concrete Primer |
| Bituminous based membranes | Sikalastic® Metal Primer |
| Metal substrates | Sikalastic® Metal Primer |
Other substrates must be tested for their compatibility. If in doubt, apply a test area first.
* Do not broadcast in excess.
Consumption
| Layer | Product | Consumption |
| Primer | Depending on the substrate | Refer to individual Product Data Sheet |
| Base coat/Top Coat | Sikalastic®-833 R ALU | ~2,0–2,4 kg/m2 |
These figures are theoretical and do not include for any additional material required due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level
and wastage.
The consumption of the waterproofing layer can be increased according to the system expected service life requirements.

Air Pressure of the spraying equipment must be ~170 bar.
Spray equipment fine temperature adjustments could be helpful to obtain equal output pressures of the 2 parts.
Higher temperatures provide lower viscosity & lower pressure.
Ambient Air Temperature

Relative Air Humidity
≤ 85 % max
Substrate Temperature
+5 °C min. / +50 °C max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation.
The substrate and uncured applied membrane must be at least +3 °C above dew point.
Substrate Moisture Content
≤4 % parts by weight.
The following test methods can be used: Sika®-Tramex meter, CM-measurement or Oven-dry-method. No rising moisture according to ASTM (Polyethylene sheet).
Waiting Time / Overcoating
Before applying Sikalastic®-833 R ALU on Sikalastic®-833 R ALU allow:
Important: When a textured finish is required, the spraying must be carried out within 5 minutes after application of the main layer.
| Substrate Temperature | Minimum waiting time | Maximum waiting time |
| +10 °C | ~10 minutes | 4 hours |
| +20 °C | ~10 minutes | 3 hours |
| +30 °C | ~10 minutes | 2 hours |
| +45 °C | ~10 minutes | 1 hour |
- Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.
- If the maximum waiting time / overcoating time is exceeded, Sika® Concrete Primer must be applied at consumption rate of 100 g/m2 as an adhesion promoter between the layers.
- As an alternative, the membrane surface will need to provide a mechanical bond. This can be achieved by lightly abrading with mechanical abrasive equipment to remove all the surface sheen.
- Select the abrasive grit size and intensity of abrading depending on the condition of the membrane.
- Completely remove all the dust by industrial vacuuming equipment.
- The final prepared surface must not have any sheen residue present.
Tack Free Time

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Refer to the Sika Method Statement: Sikalastic®-833 R ALU
Suitable substrates
Concrete, bituminous felts and coatings, metal, brick masonry, asbestos cement, ceramic tiles.
General
All contamination such as dust, loose and friable material that could affect final finish or reduce adhesion, must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product or subsequent products, preferably by industrial vacuuming equipment.
MIXING
Refer to the Sika Method Statement: Sikalastic®-833 R ALU
APPLICATION
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in method statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
Important: During application, check layer thickness and curing speed.
Note: If a non-smooth surface is required, Sikalastic®-833 R ALU can be over-sprayed to achieve a textured finish.
Refer to the Sika Method Statement: Sikalastic®-833 R ALU
CLEANING OF TOOLS
