SikaProof® A+ 12

FPO sheet membrane for pre and post-applied fully bonded below ground waterproofing

SikaProof® A+ 12 is a polyolefin (FPO) based sheet membrane for below ground waterproofing of reinforced concrete structures. A special hybrid bonding layer on the membrane forms a full and permanent dual bond with the concrete structure. The membrane can be pre or post-applied. Joints are sealed with cold-applied tapes or by thermal jointing using appropriate heating equipment. The total thickness is 1.75 mm with a membrane thickness of 1.20 mm.

  • Dual bond: full and permanent mechanical and chemical bond with the concrete structure
  • Can be used as a pre and post-applied system
  • Joints can be sealed using thermal jointing
 
  • No lateral water migration between concrete and membrane
  • Fast and easy installation
  • High flexibility and crack-bridging capabilities
  • High watertightness tested according to various standards
  • Good resistance to aggressive conditions in natural ground water and soil
  • Temporarily resistant to weathering and UV exposure
  • Can be combined with other approved Sika® waterproofing and joint sealing systems

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Strictly follow installation procedures

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

 

EQUIPMENT

▪ Tape measure
▪ Marking pen
▪ Razor knife
▪ Scissors
▪ Pressure roller
▪ Clean lint-free cloth
▪ Metal straight edge for cutting
▪ Protective sheet for cutting

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

SikaProof® A+ 12 membrane must be applied on a sufficiently stable substrate to avoid movement during the construction works. Substrate surface must be smooth, uniform and clean. Large gaps and voids (≥ 12–15 mm) must be filled before membrane installation.
Substrate can be damp or slightly wet, ponding water must be avoided. Suitable membrane fixing substrates include:
▪ Concrete blinding
▪ Formwork
▪ Rigid thermal insulation
▪ Plywood sheets / forms

APPLICATION

IMPORTANT

Exposure to UV or weathering

The Product is not resistant to permanent UV exposure or weathering.

  1. Protect as soon as possible but not later than 90 days after application
