Sikalastic®-560.

Cost-Effective, High-Performance Liquid-Applied Roof Waterproofing Powered by Sika CET Technology.

When durability, versatility, and long-term value are essential, Sikalastic®-560 stands out as a smart and reliable roofing solution. Using Sika Co-Elastic Technology (CET), this innovative liquid-applied membrane provides excellent elasticity, UV resistance, and dependable waterproofing performance. Whether used for a new build or to revive an ageing roof, Sikalastic®-560 delivers results that meet the highest industry expectations.

Designed for simplicity and ease of installation, Sikalastic®-560 forms a seamless, protective barrier that adapts to the needs of modern roofing. Its waterborne, single-component formulation ensures fast, safe, and clean application, making it a cost-effective choice for contractors, specifiers, and property owners alike.

What Is Sikalastic-560?

Sikalastic®-560 is a ready-to-use, cold-applied liquid waterproofing membrane that cures into a continuous, highly elastic, UV-resistant coating. Its water-based composition eliminates the need for heat or flame during application and makes it suitable for a wide range of projects and environments.

Because it bonds well to both porous and non-porous substrates, the membrane creates a flexible, crack-bridging surface that withstands weathering, movement, and long-term exposure to the elements. Its UV stability ensures the coating performs and looks good for years.

Where Sikalastic®-560 Works Best?

This versatile solution is suitable for a variety of roofing challenges:
New & Existing Roofs: Perfect for structural waterproofing on both new construction and refurbishment projects.
Roofs with Complicated Layouts: Ideal for roofs with limited accessibility, many penetrations, or complex geometries.
Extending the Life of Failing Roofs: A practical and economical alternative to full roof replacement.
Enhancing Energy Efficiency: The highly reflective white version helps reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs and improving building comfort.

Why Choose Sikalastic-560?

Sikalastic®-560 is a high-performing liquid applied roof waterproofing membrane packed with benefits that simplify installation and improve long-term roof integrity:

One-component formulation: no mixing or specialised equipment needed.
Cold-applied: safe to use, even in sensitive or occupied areas.
Seamless finish – eliminates weak points found in sheet-based systems.
Outstanding elasticity – adapts to building movement and bridges cracks.
UV resistant and colour stable – ensures long-term durability and appearance.
Recoatable – easy to maintain and refresh without removing existing layers.
Low VOC and water-based – environmentally conscious and easy to work with.
Excellent adhesion – suitable for a wide range of substrates.
Breathable membrane – allows moisture vapour to escape from the substrate.
Long shelf life – up to 18 months when stored correctly.

Environmental Performance of Sikalastic-560?

Sikalastic®-560 supports sustainable construction practices and meets several important environmental standards:
Conforms to LEED v2009 IEQc 4.2 for low-emitting materials.
Helps meet LEED v2009 SSc 7.2 for reducing heat island effect.
Energy Star-approved, with an initial solar reflectance of 0.82.
Meets ENV 1187 BRoof (T1) for external fire performance.
This makes Sikalastic®-560 a strong option for sustainable building projects and energy-saving roof upgrades.

How Sikalastic®-560 Performs?

Thanks to the strength of Sika CET technology, Sikalastic®-560 offers:
High elongation (approx. 350% non-reinforced).
Tensile strength up to 12 N/mm² with Sikalastic® Fleece-120.
Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 102 (white coating).
Thermal emittance of 0.93.Service temperature range from –10 °C to +80 °C (depending on reinforcement).
These properties ensure robust performance even in harsh climates or high-heat environments.

Flexible System Options

Depending on the roof condition and performance requirements, Sikalastic®-560 can be installed as:

A Multi-Coat Roof Coating System: Applied in two to three coats to achieve a smooth, durable waterproofing membrane.

A Fully Reinforced Waterproofing System: When combined with Sikalastic® Fleece-120 or Sika® Reemat Premium, the membrane gains superior crack-bridging capability and enhanced long-term durability.

What are suitable substrates for Sikalastic®-560?

Sikalastic®-560 adheres effectively to a wide range of surfaces, including:
Concrete and cementitious materials.
Brickwork and natural stone.
Unglazed ceramic tiles.
Bituminous felts and coatings (with primer where needed).
Metal substrates (with Sikalastic® Metal Primer).
Timber roof decks (with separation layer).
Painted surfaces (after compatibility testing).

This broad compatibility makes it an excellent choice for refurbishment projects where mixed substrates are common.

While highly versatile, Sikalastic®-560 should not be used in:

On substrates with rising moisture.
In areas exposed to permanent water immersion.
On roofs subjected to prolonged ponding water.
Directly on insulation boards without a separation layer.
As a final walking surface (unless covered with protective panels).
In freezing environments without fleece reinforcement.
Understanding these limitations ensures correct system design and long-term waterproofing reliability.

Applying Sikalastic®-560 is simple and efficient:

1. Prepare and, if necessary, prime the substrate.
2. Apply the first coat at the recommended coverage.
3. Embed reinforcement where required.
4. Apply the subsequent coats to build up the specified thickness.
5. Allow adequate curing time before exposure to rain or traffic.

Because the product is water-based, tools can be cleaned easily with water before curing—greatly simplifying site cleanup.

The Smarter Solution for Roof Protection.

Sikalastic®-560 brings together the best of Sika’s waterproofing expertise in an easy-to-apply, environmentally responsible, and cost-efficient roofing system.
