  • Colour: Black
  • Mass per Unit Area: 0.8 kg/m²
  • Thickness: 0.6 mm
  • Diffusion Resistance Coefficient: μ 103,000
  • Equivalent Air Layer Thickness (sd value): 62 m
  • Elongation at Break: 350%
  • Application Temperature: 5 – 40 °C
  • Tensile Strength: 5.5 MPa
  • Tear Propagation Resistance: 8 N/mm
  • Ozone Resistance: No cracks after 168 hours
  • Service Temperature: -40 – 90 °C
  • Shelf Life: 18 months (stored in dry conditions between 5 and 30 °C)

Product Benefits
  • Highly flexible and easy to apply, even in corners
  • CE-marked according to EN 13984: 2011
  • Fire retardant as per EN 13501-1 Class E
  • No additional mechanical fixing required
  • Suitable for uneven substrates
  • Durable bond and barrier/seal
  • Ozone and UV resistant

Areas of Application
The membrane is used between structures and incorporated units like facade elements and windows, providing a secure vapour barrier and waterproof seal, mainly in curtain wall facades.

Design Considerations
  • Ensure adequate insulation to prevent thermal bridging or internal condensation.
  • Follow local construction and fire regulations.

Method of Application
  • Ensure substrates are clean and dry before bonding.
  • Apply SikaBond® TF plus N adhesive and spread with a spatula.
  • Install the membrane tension-free and press with a plastic roller.
  • Ensure overlaps of at least 5 cm where required.

Application Limits
  • Not resistant to mineral oils, petroleum, benzene, fuel, and toluene.
  • The bond line must not be in permanent contact with water.

Packaging Information
  • Length: 25 m per roll
  • Width: Various options from 100 mm to 1400 mm

DESIGN CONSIDERATION In order to prevent thermal bridging or internal condensation ensure adequate provision of insulation (mineral wool or similar) within the joint prior to sealing. Always follow local construction and fire regulations. Design details need to be determined by the responsible engineer and building physicist. Application Limits SikaMembran® Universal is not resistant to mineral oils, petroleum, benzene, fuel and toluene etc. The bond line of the membrane must not be in permanent contact with water. METHOD OF APPLICATION Surface Preparation Prior the bonding process ensure that...
