It consists of special active chemicals which react with water and calcium hydroxide contained in the concrete to form insoluble bonds (crystals).<\/strong> These crystals fill the capillary pores and shrinkage cracks of the concrete, preventing any fyrther water ingress. AQUAMAT-PENETRATE offers the following advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remains permanently active, therefore it continuously protects construction from water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Offers total waterproofing against positive hydrostatics pressure up to 5 atm, according to EN 12390-8. It can also withstand negative pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bonds perfectly to concrete, under both positive and negative hydrostatic pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Capable of waterproofing hairline cracks up to 0,4 mm wide even if they appear afterwards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In case of damaging the concrete surface or the waterproofing layer, it does not affect the water tightness of the construction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Suitable for potable water tanks, as well as food contact surfaces, according to W-347.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Protects concrete from carbonation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does not corrode the reinforcing steel in concrete.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does not affect the &#8220;breathability&#8221; of the concrete element.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Has a simple and low cost application.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Substrate preparation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The substrate must be porous, free of oil or grease, loose material, dust, etc. Very smooth surfaces should be treated with mild sandblasting or water blasting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Water leaks should be plugged with AQUAFIX rapid-setting cement .<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Any cavities in concrete surface should be filled and smoothed out using DUROCRET-PENETRATE, after all loose aggregate has been removed and the surface has been well dampened.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Starter bars and wooden molds should be cut to a depth of about 3 cm into the concrete and the holes should be sealed as above.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Existing construction joints-0,4 mm wide- are opendes lengthwise in a V shape to a depth of about 3 cm and are then filled as above.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Corners, like wall-floor junctions, should be filled and smoothly rounded with DUROCRET-PENETRATE (formation of a fillet, triangular in cross section, with side lengths of 5-6 cm).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Application<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">AQUAMAT-PENETRATE is added to the water under continuous stirring, until a uniform, viscous mixture is formed, suitable for brushing or spraying. The application surface must be well dampened but without ponding. The product is applied by brush or spray in two layers. Layers thicker than 1 mm should be avoided because the material may crack. The second layer is applied while the previous one has reached an initial set, but is still &#8220;green&#8221; . In case the first layer has fully dried, dampening of the surface is necessary prior to application of the second one. After the application is completed, the surface must be dampened for the next 2-3 days to so that the material remains slightly wet and hardens properly. This should take place when AQUAMAT-PENETRATE has started to harden to avoid the risk of damage. Spraying with water 2-3 times per day is usually enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"standard-arrow bullet-top\"><ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In case of water under pressure, the structure bearing the waterproofing layer (wall, floor, etc.) should be properly designed in order to be sufficiently static to withstand hydrostatic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In case AQUAMAT-PENETRATE is used in potable water tanks, after the product is applied, the surface should be carefully washed out with plain water, before the final filling of the tank.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">AQUAMAT-PENETRATE can also\u00a0 be dusted on the clean concrete and the steel reinforcements. This process will protect not only the reinforcement itself but also the foundation slab from rising damp. The lean concrete should be dampened until saturation is reached. Then, AQUAMAT-PENETRATE is dusted using 1,5-2,5 kg\/m2. The concrete of the foundation slab can be poured after one hour, once AQUAMAT-PENETRATE has hardened and adhered to the clean concrete, in order not to damage the previous application.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"standard-arrow bullet-top\"><ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Temperature during application should be at least +5oC.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Due to cement content, AQUAMAT-PENETRATE reacts with water forming alkaline solutions, thus is classified as irritant.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Please consult the safety instructions written on the paskaging before use.
