Protected by SikaGard-703W

Ready to use, Sika's SikaGard-703W is a liquid, silane/siloxane base impregnation used for waterproofing of building materials against surface waters. After application, the product provides a water-repellent coating.

 

Sika SikaGard-703W provides a water-repellent finish that is suitable for various substrates and can be coated with a variety of paint finishes. The product is used to provide a protective, water-repellant coating on substrates of concrete, mortar, masonry, brick and stone, and fibre-cement.

The clear treatment does not modify the appearance of the facade but does offer a strong water-repellent capacity that improves resistance to dirt and reduces fungi and lichen growth.

Application of the product is done by means of a low-pressure spray gun, or brush / roller. Once dry, the product can be overcoated with water or solvent-based paint.
