The crystalline waterproofing compound is once mixed with water (as per manufacturer instruction) and applied over the prepared surface it will create the insoluble crystals in the pores of the concrete surface and blocks the penetration of water through pores.Whenever these insoluble crystals getting in contact with water it will further develops into more in number and hence blocks the penetration of water through the pores.
Advantages:
- It can be used on both positive and negative pressure sides
- Crystallisation process will be reactivated whenever the crystals getting in contact with water
- It increases resistance to water flow
- It protects the structure from corrosive agents carried by wate
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
- Preparatory works:
- All construction joints, cracks and weak areas should be suitably identified
- V-groove should be made along the length of the construction joints, cracks and identified weak areas.
- Then by approved make grouting material V-groove should be packed well
- GI nipple should be fixed at suitable areas and pressure grouting to be done (by using the approved grout).
- Haunching should be done in floor and wall junctions
- The data sheet should be available and the application to be carried out as per manufacturer’s instruction.
