HYDROSTOP® ACRYLIC GEL INJECTION SEALING MATERIAL

Description

Hydrostop® Acrylic Gel Injection Sealing Material is an elastic hydrophilic two (2) component (A + B) acrylic gel designed to be used with the Hydrostop® CJ1 Injection Hose System or with injection packers for sealing and stopping water egress through construction joints and cracks in concrete.

Hydrostop® Acrylic Gel Injection Sealing Material starts out as a similar viscosity to water, which enables it to be injected and penetrate into the construction joint and into fine cracks in concrete. The curing process of the gel is gradual and is linear in performance, which allows time for processing and flushing of the injection hose for possible future re-injection capabilities. Hydrostop® Acrylic Gel Injection Sealing Material has strong adhesion to concrete and due to its high elongation and hydrophilic ability, the product is able to withstand shrinkage, expansion, and dynamic movements of the injected construction joint and/ or crack.

Hydrostop® Acrylic Gel Injection Sealing Material has the ability to absorb water up to 100% and has an ultimate elongation of 500%. The reaction time for curing of the gel can be adjusted to suit the specific requirement of the project and the environment. This product is part of our Waterstop product range.

Uses

• All areas where construction joints are present and require sealing against water or require a particular joint sealing process.

• Water excluding and water retaining structures.

• Basements and below ground structures.

• Tunnels and underground vaults.

• Water and sewerage treatment plants.

• Ground and elevated reservoirs and dams.

• Suspended slabs and roof slabs.

• Water tanks and swimming pools.

Advantages

• High performance ability to egress and penetrate deeply into construction joints or cracks due to the products initial low viscosity when processed via an injection hose system or injection packer.

• Processing times are fast and simple due to the gradual linear performance of the gel when curing.

• A very high sealing effect with long term durability and integrity.

• High elasticity and adhesion to construction materials such as concrete, masonry and steel.

• Can be processed as one (1) or two (2) components.

• Reaction time for curing can be adjusted to suit (consult CORKJOINT®) but there are limitations.

• Contains no toxic solvents, is non-flammable and is suitable for use in potable water applications.

• Good general chemical resistance characteristics to diesel, mineral oils, alkaline and concrete aggressive liquids.
