Sikalastic Moisture Seal 20L – Two Part Epoxy Waterproofing Primer
Stop moisture in its tracks before it compromises your floor coating. Sikalastic Moisture Seal is a high-performance, two-component water-based epoxy that chemically cures to form a robust vapour barrier — resistant to hydrostatic pressure and capable of preventing rising damp. Whether you're priming damp concrete in a basement, waterproofing a green screed, or preparing a surface for a liquid-applied membrane, this is the product that gets the job done right the first time.
Available exclusively at Epoxy Warehouse — Australia's trusted supplier of professional-grade floor coating systems.
Key Benefits
- ✅ Excellent adhesion to damp substrates — apply directly over damp or green concrete and screeds
- ✅ Dual-function: primer + moisture barrier — eliminates the need for two separate products
- ✅ Hydrostatic pressure resistant — ideal for below-grade and negative pressure applications
- ✅ Low VOC formula — safe for use in confined and poorly ventilated spaces
- ✅ Non-flammable — reduced site risk during application
- ✅ Simple 1:1 mix ratio — no guesswork, less waste
- ✅ Water clean-up — easy tool and equipment maintenance on site
Recommended Applications
- Waterproofing and priming of damp or green concrete slabs
- Waterproofing and priming of damp or green cement screeds
- Rendered brickwork, rendered blockwork, and fibrous cement sheeting
- Negative pressure waterproofing applications
- Moisture vapour barrier coating for green screeds prior to floor coating installation
- Primer coat prior to application of liquid-applied waterproofing membranes

Application Instructions
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be firm, clean, structurally sound, and free from grease, oil, wax, curing compounds, dust, laitance, and loose material. Remove all projections and rough spots to achieve a level, continuous surface. Previously coated or treated substrates must be mechanically prepared to expose a clean, contaminant-free surface.
- Concrete: Allow a minimum of 72 hours cure time before application. Repair surface imperfections with a suitable Sika® MonoTop repair mortar.
- Cement render / sand screeds: Allow a minimum of 24 hours cure time before application.
- Sheeting: Fix in accordance with the manufacturer's installation directions.
Mixing
Thoroughly stir Part A and Part B separately before combining. Measure equal volumes of each part and pour into a clean container. Using a mechanical mixer, blend until a homogeneous liquid is achieved — take care to avoid air entrapment. Do not mix more product than can be used within 90 minutes at 25°C.
Application
Apply by brush, roller, or airless spray. For moisture barrier applications, apply a minimum of 2 coats at 3 m²/L per coat. For use as a primer, apply 1 coat at 10 m²/L. Allow a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 48 hours between coats and prior to overcoating with a waterproofing membrane. If the 48-hour window is exceeded, apply an additional coat of Sikalastic® Moisture Seal to reactivate the surface and extend the overcoating interval.
Limitations
- Do not apply over existing protective coatings
- Do not apply in rain or if rain is imminent
- Not recommended for metal surfaces (risk of corrosion)
- Must cure for a minimum of 72 hours before full immersion or water testing
- Not suitable as a trafficable, UV-stable, or exposed coating
- Not recommended as an efflorescence barrier for sand cement screeds or render
- Not suitable to be tiled over
- Do not apply below 10°C or above 35°C substrate temperature
- Discard any material that has exceeded pot life
- Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed areas during application and cure
Pair It With the Right Waterproofing System
Sikalastic Moisture Seal is designed to be used as part of a complete Sika waterproofing system. Once your primer coat has cured, top it with one of these compatible membranes available at Epoxy Warehouse:
-
Sikalastic 487 Elastomeric PU Waterproofing Membrane – 15L Grey — flexible polyurethane membrane for demanding waterproofing applications
Colour accuracy disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
Product Disclaimer: Ensure you read all product, technical and safety data sheets prior to application as liability falls on the applicator. All products must be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended method.
