Sikaplan® WP 1100-15 HL | Foundation and Tunnel Waterproofing Membrane

PVC-P Synthetic Waterproofing Membrane with Signal Layer

Product Description

Sikaplan® WP 1100-15 HL is a high-performance synthetic waterproofing membrane manufactured from PVC-P (plasticized polyvinyl chloride). It features a non-reinforced structure with a signal layer and is designed for foundation and tunnel waterproofing applications exposed to underground water pressure.

With its 1.50 mm thickness, the membrane provides reliable protection against groundwater pressure while offering long-term performance in demanding underground environments.

Developed by Sika, a global manufacturer of construction chemical solutions, Sikaplan® WP 1100-15 HL is a trusted waterproofing solution for projects requiring durability, mechanical strength, and resistance against aggressive soil conditions.

Thanks to its signal layer technology, possible damages can be detected quickly, providing significant advantages during inspection and maintenance processes.

Key Features of Sikaplan® WP 1100-15 HL

Signal Layer for Easy Damage Detection
The membrane has a yellow upper surface and dark grey lower surface. If damage occurs, the lower layer becomes visible, allowing quick identification of affected areas.

DEHP (DOP)-Free Plasticizer
Provides an improved formulation with better environmental and health considerations.

High Mechanical Strength
Offers excellent resistance with:

  • High tensile strength
  • ≥300% elongation at break

  • Resistance against aggressive underground conditions
  • Easy inspection through signal layer technology
  • Secure hot air welded joints

With these advantages, it is an effective solution for foundations, tunnels, and underground structures requiring long-term waterproofing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where is Sikaplan® WP 1100-15 HL used?

It is used in foundations, tunnels, underground storage structures, and reinforced concrete structures exposed to groundwater pressure.

What is the purpose of the signal layer?

The signal layer makes damage detection easier. When the yellow surface layer is damaged, the dark grey layer underneath becomes visible, helping locate problem areas quickly.

Can it be used in cold weather conditions?

Yes. The membrane maintains flexibility and performance at temperatures down to -20 °C.

Does installation require flame application?

No. The joints are connected using hot air welding technology, creating secure and watertight connections without open flame application.
