It is commonly added to renders, masonry mortars, and screeds, as well as both reinforced and unreinforced concrete, helping to protect structures from moisture ingress.\n\nThe product is suitable for use on brick, concrete, and stone substrates and can be applied in both internal and external environments. Typical applications include basements, swimming pools, tunnels, water tanks, manholes, and culverts. Sika®-1 is also well suited for use in tropical and hot climate conditions.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nSika®-1 works by blocking the capillaries and pores within the cementitious system, forming an effective barrier against the transmission of liquid water. This increases the overall impermeability of mortar and concrete while maintaining good workability.\n\nIt is ready to use straight from the container, disperses easily during mixing, and is chloride-free, making it safe for use in reinforced concrete applications.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging \u0026amp; Colour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nSika®-1 is supplied in 5 litre and 25 litre pails and comes as a yellow liquid, making it easy to identify during application.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Sika®-1 used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\nSika®-1 is used as a waterproofing admixture for mortars and concrete to reduce water penetration in structures exposed to moisture.\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan Sika®-1 be used indoors and outdoors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\nYes, Sika®-1 is suitable for both internal and external applications, including below-ground and above-ground structures.\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Sika®-1 suitable for reinforced concrete?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\nYes, Sika®-1 is chloride-free, which makes it safe for use with reinforced concrete without increasing the risk of corrosion.\u003cp\u003eCheck out our other products \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more from our range \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-chemicals\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JJ Building Materials","offers":[{"title":"5L","offer_id":54802580210006,"sku":"171103","price":43.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25L","offer_id":54802580242774,"sku":"171104","price":216.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/sika-1-waterproofer","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
