<h1>FL_AQUAFIN-i380_EN_0821.pdf</h1> <p>Retroactive horizontal barriers</p> <p>AQUAFIN® -i380 <br />Injection cream for retroactive horizontal barriers <br />Problems solved.</p> <p>Retroactive <br />horizontal barriers <br />AQUAFIN® -i380 <br />AQUAFIN-i380 is a guaranteed solution for <br />sequentially applied horizontal barriers. This new <br />silane-based injection cream requires no pressure <br />when applied to prevent rising dampness in masonry <br />works by inducing a “hydrophobic” property in the <br />injected substrate. <br />AQUAFIN-i380 functions at moisture saturation levels up <br />to 95% when tested in accordance with WTA work sheet <br />4/4/04 (Injection of Masonry Works Against Capillary <br />Rising Dampness). <br />Classic “silicifying” injection products can only be applied <br />with pressure when moisture saturation levels exceed 60% <br />whilst AQUAFIN-i380 is entirely effective when applied <br />without the use of pressure even when saturation levels <br />reach 95%.</p> <p>Technical Data <br />Basis</p> <p>Silane</p> <p>Consistency</p> <p>creamy</p> <p>Colour</p> <p>white, transparent once dry</p> <p>Specific gravity</p> <p>approx. 0.9 g/cm3</p> <p>Active ingredient content</p> <p>approx. 80 % by weight</p> <p>Substrate / <br />application temperature</p> <p>+5°C to +30°C</p> <p>Packaging</p> <p>12 x 550 ml sausage/box <br />and 5 l packs</p> <p>Storage</p> <p>12 months in original <br />unopened packs</p> <p>Properties <br />• Ready to use <br />• Solvent-free <br />• Hydrophobic <br />• Excellent penetration <br />• Prevents “capillary water” migration <br />• Simple and effective application <br />•W <br /> TA approved; even when moisture <br />saturation levels reach 95% <br />Advantages <br />• Excellent dispersion <br />•C <br /> reamy consistency prevents flow into cracks, <br />cavities or voids <br />•A <br /> pplied without pressure; simply extrude from a <br />barrel type gun <br />•M <br /> ay also be mechanically applied using low <br />pressure <br />• No dilution or pre-mixing necessary <br />• Quantities easily calculated <br />Remove old damaged render, paints or coatings from <br />the substrate up to a height of 80 cm above the <br />neighbouring area of damage either visibly or through <br />examination. Rake out crumbly pointing to a depth of 2 <br />cm deep and mechanically clean the area. To replace <br />masonry joints we recommend THERMOPAL-GP11. <br />Where using low pressure equipment, we recommend <br />blocking the injection area with AQUAFIN-1K.</p> <p>schomburg.com</p> <p>How does <br />AQUAFIN® -i380 work? <br />Classic “silicifying” injection products can only be applied <br />with pressure when moisture saturation levels exceed 60% <br />whilst AQUAFIN-i380 is entirely effective when applied <br />without the use of pressure even when saturation levels <br />reach 95%. <br />Due to its special composition, the molecular size of the <br />active ingredient is much smaller than classical products. It <br />also does not react with water, but solely with the substrate. <br />The “hydrophilic nature“ (great affinity for water) of the active <br />ingredient means quicker dispersion in the capillary water <br />and eventually leading to the so-called “self-injection” <br />property, achieving 100% saturation of the pores. <br />After reacting with the substrate, the capillary walls become <br />hydrophobic and rising water or dampness due to osmotic <br />pressure (absorption of water in the capillaries) is prevented <br />leading to the eventual drying out of the substrate which also <br />becomes water repellent.</p> <p>Untreated <br />masonry work</p> <p>Masonry work treated <br />with AQUAFIN-i380</p> <p>Changes reserved.
