It resists strong hydrostatic pressure and is not a vapor barrier <br />(allows concrete to “breathe”). <br />AQUAFIN-IC is powered by Aquafin‘s advanced crystalline technology <br />which chemically reacts with moisture and free lime to reduce the water <br />absorption of the resultant cement matrix within the concrete. This is <br />a result of the formation of nano-scale crystals by the active catalysts <br />present in the capillary system. This sustains a durable waterproof effect <br />in the concrete, thereby blocking the passage of water. This reaction will <br />continue to take place anytime water is present for the life of the concrete <br />structure where by making the AQUAFIN-IC a truly permanent and <br />integral waterproofing solution. The AQUAFIN-IC nano-crystals will also <br />grow in and along static hairline crack sealing them and preventing further <br />incoming water. <br />Typical Applications: <br />• Exterior (positive side) or interior (negative side) waterproofing of below <br />grade foundations, basements, retaining walls, utility vaults, elevator pits. <br />• Water tanks, wastewater tanks, water catchment basins, manholes, <br />parking garages, tunnels, slurry walls. <br />Advantages: <br />• Advanced crystalline technology that penetrates deep into concrete <br />• Cement gray color is potable water approved - NSF/ANSI 61 <br />• Applied to moist (damp) substrate <br />• Environmentally friendly, inorganic (sp.)- non toxic, zero VOC’s <br />• Permanently active <br />• Easy to use - needs only water for mixing <br />• Can be applied to green concrete as soon as forms are stripped <br />• Protects concrete against fresh water, salt water, waste water & <br />aggressive ground water <br />• Resists strong hydrostatic pressure <br />• Applied to positive or negative side water pressure <br />• Seals and post seals shrinkage cracks, up to 1/64” (0.4 mm) <br />• Contains no chlorides <br />• Cost effective <br />Crystalline Waterproofing Properties: <br />AQUAFIN-IC contains active waterproofing chemicals which react <br />Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Data Sheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>Permeability <br />(CRD-C 48-92):</p> <p>3</p> <p>All data are average values obtained under laboratory conditions. In practical use <br />temperature, humidity and absorbance of the substrate may influence the above given <br />values.</p> <p>with moisture and free lime in the concrete, creating insoluble crystalline <br />complexes which seal the capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks. They <br />penetrate even against strong hydrostatic pressure, becoming an integral <br />part of the concrete. The waterproofing chemicals remain active for the <br />life of the structure, permanently sealing it from water penetration. Unlike <br />a membrane, AQUAFIN-IC may require up to one month to reach its <br />maximum waterproofing capability. Environmental factors such as ambient <br />temperature, density of concrete, moisture present and weather conditions <br />all can affect the timing of the sealing process. Under dry conditions the <br />AQUAFIN-IC chemicals lie dormant, however they reactivate whenever <br />re-exposed to moisture. AQUAFIN-IC post seals static shrinkage cracks <br />up to 1/64” (0.4 mm), which occur after the product has been applied <br />and cured. <br />Substrate Preparation: <br />The substrate must be sound, clean, and have an “open” capillary system <br />(“tooth and suction”) (ICRI CSP 3 - 4 profile) to ensure mechanical bond <br />(surface adhesion) and allow AQUAFIN-IC chemicals to penetrate. <br />Horizontal surfaces should have a rough wood float or broom finish. <br />Smooth formed walls, or smooth troweled slabs; must be roughened, <br />roughened, <br />otherwise AQUAFIN-IC application may not achieve sufficient bond. <br />• Remove <br />Remove all dirt, cement laitance, form release agents, curing <br />compounds, loose particles, paints, etc. by means of wet or <br />drysandblasting, high pressure water blasting [i.e. 4,000 psi (275 bar <br />adjusting higher or lower depending on 28 day concrete strength) or <br />other suitable mechanical means. Do not apply to smooth slabs. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />(07/19/24 VB/AC)</p> <p>AQUAFIN®-IC <br />• Remove <br />Remove all protrusions, work back to sound concrete, chiseling out any <br />honeycombed or damaged areas. Faulty construction joints and visible <br />cracks not subject to movement, exceeding 0.02” (0.4 mm) should be <br />routed out to a U-shaped configuration approx. 3/4” (20 mm) wide and <br />a minimum depth of 1” (25 mm). Form tie holes should be roughened. <br />• Stop <br />Stop all active water leakages using MORTAR-PLUG-IC or Aquafin <br />InjectPro chemical grouts prior to the application of AQUAFIN-IC. <br />Contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin <br />Representative for guidance. <br />• Use MEGA-MORTAR-IC for structural repairs. <br />• Use MORTAR-IC for repairing spalls, honey-combed areas, and similar <br />surface repairs. <br />• For <br />For crack treatment, reglets, and coves, use MORTAR-IC. <br />• Thoroughly <br />Thoroughly rinse all the surfaces to be waterproofed with clean water. <br />Prewater several times so that the concrete or masonry is saturated <br />to control surface suction and ensure the growth of the crystalline <br />formation deep within the pores of the substrate. When AQUAFIN-IC is <br />applied, the surface should be damp, but not wet. Any surface water on <br />horizontal surfaces must be removed. <br />Mixing: <br />• Pre-condition <br />Pre-condition material to 70°F (21°C) for 24 hours before mixing. <br />• Approximate <br />Approximate mixing ratio is: <br />• by <br />by volume: 3 parts powder to 1 parts water <br />• 45 <br />45 lb powder to 1.4 - 1.7 gallons water (20.4 kg powder to <br />5.3 - 6.4 liters water) <br />Add the AQUAFIN-IC powder to water and mix thoroughly until the <br />mixture is completely free of lumps. Mix only as much material as can be <br />used within 30 minutes. AQUAFIN-IC should be mechanically mixed with <br />clean water to a consistency of thick oil paint. Separate containers (equal <br />volume), should be used for measuring the powder and water. If "false <br />setting“ occurs after mixing, do not add water; restir to restore workability. <br />Application: <br />Horizontal Surfaces and Construction Joints: <br />A. Dry-sprinkle and power-trowel or wooden float application: <br />A trial dry-shake application is highly recommended prior to the actual <br />application. <br />• Standard <br />Standard application for concrete with design strength up to 4000 psi <br />(27.6 MPa): When the concrete to be treated starts to reach initial set, <br />the specified amount of AQUAFIN-IC is dry distributed, by hand, using <br />a sieve, or similar device, onto the concrete surface. It is then troweled in <br />until coverage is uniform and the specified finish is achieved (smooth or <br />brushed). Consult Technical Guideline G001. <br />B. Mud Slabs / Split Slabs / Construction Joints: <br />• Apply <br />Apply AQUAFIN-IC in slurry or dry powder consistency to prewatered <br />concrete substrate, “mud slab”, split slabs or construction joints <br />immediately prior to casting the structural slab or wall. Consult Technical <br />Guideline G002. <br />C. Brush or spray application: <br />Note: Slab surfaces must have a rough wood float or broom finish. <br />• Apply <br />Apply AQUAFIN-IC in slurry consistency in the specified quantity, in one <br />coat. <br />Vertical Surfaces and Construction Joints: <br />A. Brush application: <br />• Apply <br />Apply two coats of AQUAFIN-IC, in the specified quantity, in a slurry <br />consistency with a masonry brush. Brush on the material evenly and work <br />it well into the surface. Apply second coat while the first coat is still tacky <br />(“green“).</p> <p>B. Spray Application: <br />• AQUAFIN-IC <br />AQUAFIN-IC may be applied using appropriate compressed-air spray <br />equipment. Spray on one or two coats, according to the specification, <br />in circular movements. Apply second coat while first coat is still tacky <br />(“green“). <br />Curing and Protection: <br />Outdoor, or exposed treated areas: <br />• Keep <br />Keep damp (moist) for a period of 2 - 3 days for standard <br />waterproofing applications, 7 days for potable water tanks. Start curing <br />as soon as AQUAFIN-IC has hardened sufficiently so as not to be <br />damaged by a fine water spray. Alternatively a dissipating resin curing <br />agent in elevator pits, wastewater tanks, etc. can be used. Contact <br />Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin Representative for <br />guidance. <br />• Protect <br />Protect exposed surfaces against direct sun, wind and frost by covering <br />with plastic sheeting, burlap, or similar. Do not lay plastic sheeting <br />directly on AQUAFIN-IC as air contact is required for proper curing. <br />• The <br />The freshly treated surfaces should be protected from rain and freezing <br />temperatures for a minimum period of 24 hrs. <br />• Back <br />Back filling can be carried out 36 hrs after completion of the AQUAFINIC treatment. Protection boards are generally not required. Backfill <br />material shall be moist and not contain rocks or larger aggregate. <br />Indoor treated areas: <br />• Self <br />Self curing in cool areas with high humidity. <br />• Keep <br />Keep moist for 2 - 3 days in areas with low humidity and 7 days for <br />potable water tanks. <br />• Provide <br />Provide air circulation for minimum 24 hrs. following the AQUAFIN-IC <br />treatment in poorly ventilated areas and deep pits. <br />Water Tanks: <br />• Can <br />Can be carefully filled after 3 days. Do not fill large tanks faster than <br />6½ feet per 24 hrs (2 m/24 hrs). <br />• After <br />After complete curing of AQUAFIN-IC, potable water reservoirs should <br />be thoroughly rinsed with potable water prior to being placed in service. <br />Clean-up: <br />Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Cured <br />material can only be removed mechanically. <br />Decoration, Coating and Tiling <br />• All <br />All surfaces treated with AQUAFIN-IC which are to be coated or <br />painted must be left to cure for at least 4 weeks. At the end of the curing <br />period, the surfaces should be saturated with water and neutralized <br />with a 1:8 solution of muriatic acid. Following this, the areas must be <br />thoroughly rinsed with water. <br />• When <br />When a plaster or render finish is required on top of AQUAFIN-IC <br />treatments, it is essential to apply a thin rough cast of sand and cement <br />on the final AQUAFIN-IC layer when it has reached initial set. If this is <br />not practical, carefully clean the hardened AQUAFIN-IC surface and <br />apply an appropriate bonding agent prior to rendering. <br />• Do <br />Do not use for waterproofing applications under thin set tile mortar (i.e. <br />swimming pools, balconies, etc.). <br />• Slabs <br />Slabs on or below grade to be covered with vinyl tiles or other <br />nonbreathable products (i.e. epoxy, some carpets, resilient flooring, etc.) <br />must be checked for moisture vapor emission as per ASTM F 1869-98 <br />before installation of tiles, etc. since AQUAFIN-IC is not a vapor barrier. <br />If vapor emission is an issue, contact Aqaufin Technical Department or <br />your local Aquafin Representative for information about VAPORTIGHT <br />COAT-SG2 and VAPORTIGHT COAT--SG3 products.</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Data Sheet.
