AQUAFIX is a rapid-setting cement, showing a hardening reaction that starts immediately after the addition of water. AQUAFIX is used for instant plugging of local or superficial water leaks, rapid fixing and anchoring.
Substrate preparation
The substrate must be stable, clean and moistened, if dry. Any loose material (paint, plaster, etc.) should be removed to expose a stable substrate (concrete or masonry).
Application
a) Sealing of leaking points
The point of leakage (crack, hole, etc) should be widened in a conical shape (getting wider as it goes deeper) to a depth of 2-3 cm. A small quantity of AQUAFIX should be gradually added to water and mixed for 5-10 seconds, until it becomes like wet clay. The mixture is pressed onto the leak and held there for approx. 1 minute, until it hardens sufficiently.
b) Sealing of leaking surfaces
The wet and stable surface should be first brushed with AQUAMAT-F (consumption 200-300 g/m2) and then immediately with AQUAMAT (consumption approx. 1.5 kg/m2). While this layer is still fresh, it should be rubbed with AQUAFIX powder (consumption 1.0-1.5 kg/m2) until the surface dries. Afterwards, the surface should be brushed again with AQUAMAT-F, followed by at least 2 layers of AQUAMAT, until a total thickness of 2-4 mm is achieved. If there is possibility for cracking, AQUAMAT-FLEX or AQUAMAT-ELASTIC is recommended for the last 2 layers.
