<h1>Prosp_AQUAFIN-IC_A4_GB_2620.pdf</h1> <p>Waterproofing and Restoration</p> <p>AQUAFIN®-IC <br />Crystalline waterproofing slurry <br />Capillary / crystalline waterproofing <br />for concrete structures <br />Problems solved.</p> <p>The perfect waterproofing material <br />for large concrete structures. <br />Magnified 5,000 X</p> <p>Waterproofs concrete in depth. <br />AQUAFIN-IC is a unique one-component, penetrating waterproofing system. Based <br />on cementitious materials, AQUAFIN-IC contains chemicals, that penetrate into the <br />concrete surface making the concrete itself part of the waterproofing. <br />The waterproofing properties stay intact, even if the coating is partially removed or <br />small cracks develop after the application. <br />Due to its high resistance to hydrostatic pressure (tested up to 130 m [200 psi] <br />positive and negative side), AQUAFIN-IC is the perfect waterproofing material for <br />large concrete structures such as water tanks, water catchment basins or wastewater <br />treatment plants. Other typical applications are in parking structures, tunnels, <br />elevator pits, manholes and waterproofing of below grade foundations and walls.</p> <p>schomburg.com</p> <p>AQUAFIN®-IC <br />Crystalline waterproofing slurry <br />AQUAFIN-IC may be used on all new or old structurally <br />sound concrete surfaces not subject to movement. It is also <br />suitable for concrete blocks or as a dry shake on fresh <br />concrete slabs incorporated by a helicopter.</p> <p>Areas of application:</p> <p>Advantages for the user:</p> <p>• Potable water tanks <br />• Waste water treatment plants <br />• Tunnels <br />• Elevator pits <br />• Manholes <br />• Foundations <br />• Below grade waterproofing <br />• Borehole pile <br />• Surface protection <br />acc. EN 1504-2</p> <p>• Self-healing (static cracks up to 0.4 mm) <br />• Waterproofing properties stay intact, <br />even if the coating gets damaged <br />• Easy to apply <br />• Low consumption / ecnomic <br />• Fast setting and hardening <br />• Minimal discoloration <br />• Permanent</p> <p>„Self healing“ concrete <br />With each new contact with water, the active ingredients form new crystals – and still <br />carry on after many years. Extensive tests show that products in the BETOCRETE-C <br />series are capable of achieving an auto-reactive, crack-healing function with in case <br />of outwardly spreading cracks up to 0.5 mm and continuous cracks up to 0.4 mm. <br />This speeds up and improves the self-healing properties of concrete and lowers the <br />maintenance costs of the building.</p> <p>schomburg.com</p> <p>The Chemistry of AQUAFIN®-IC</p> <p>CementMatrix</p> <p>AQUAFIN® <br />Nanocrystals</p> <p>100 µm</p> <p>60 µm</p> <p>Magnified AQUAFIN-IC nanocrystals. Treated concrete becomes watertight as crystalline fibers fill <br />the capillary voids.</p> <p>Untreated concrete is a porous system, <br />which is prone to water penetration.</p> <p>AQUAFIN-IC (red) is applied to the <br />concrete surface. The active ingredients of <br />AQUAFIN-IC start to penetrate into the <br />capillary pores.</p> <p>Inside the capillary pores the chemicals <br />react with the free lime and moisture forming insoluble crystals. The mechanism <br />moves further into the concrete, sealing the <br />pores. <br />Result: AQUAFIN-IC is not only a coating, <br />it becomes an integral part of the <br />concrete!</p> <p>schomburg.com</p> <p>Application <br />AQUAFIN-IC can be applied by brush or appropriate spray equipment. <br />It may also be applied as a dry shake on fresh concrete slabs. <br />AQUAFIN-IC is simply mixed with water with a slow moving drill. <br />The working time is approximately 30 min. at +23°C.</p> <p>Supplemental products: <br />• FIX 10-S <br />30 sec. plug cement <br />• FIX 20-T <br />Plug mortar <br />• ASOCRET-IM <br />Crystalline sealing and repair mortar <br />• ASOCRET-M30 <br />Reparatur- und Nivelliermörtel <br />• ASOCRET-BIS-5/40 <br />Repair and levelling mortar</p> <p>We recommend the use of AQUAFIN-RB400 in combination with our joint tapes for applications <br />where static and dynamic crack bridging capabilities are required. <br />AQUAFIN-1K for negative side waterproofing of brick and CMU substrates.</p> <p>schomburg.com</p> <p>Retrospective <br />Crystalline waterproofing <br />Crystalline waterproofing represents a fascinating <br />waterproofing process. After application on the concrete <br />surface, the active substances migrate out of the <br />waterproofing material into the interior of the component, <br />where it promotes crystal growth. The smallest pores and <br />cracks are filled with crystals and are therefore <br />impenetrable by capillary water! “An enemy becomes <br />a friend”: The water penetrating the building component <br />acts as a means of transportation for active substances <br />and carries them deep into the substrate. An additional <br />advantage: AQUAFIN-IC waterproofing is suitable for <br />drinking water containers!</p> <p>schomburg.com</p> <p>COMPONENTS <br />FIX-20-T <br />ASOCRET-IM <br />AQUAFIN-IC</p> <p>Application</p> <p>1. Open cracks and damaged <br />areas <br />Remove all loose components from the <br />cracked and damaged areas. Break <br />open the static cracks up to a width of at <br />least 20 mm and a depth of at least 25 <br />mm.</p> <p>2. Immediate waterproofing for <br />water breakthroughs <br />Water breakthroughs are sealed <br />professionally with rapidly hardening <br />cementitious FIX 20-T sealing mortar.</p> <p>3. Mix the FIX 20-T <br />Mix a powder quantity corresponding <br />with the water breakthrough together with <br />approx. 25% water to produce <br />a homogeneous consistency able to be <br />kneaded. Form a suitable plug by hand. <br />Work quickly: The pot life is only approx. <br />3 minutes!</p> <p>4. Plug the areas penetrated by <br />water <br />Press the formed plug into the leak <br />position. Hold the plug in place by hand <br />until it has hardened. Process the plugged <br />position immediately afterwards with a <br />trowel.</p> <p>5. Improve voids <br />Flawed areas should be improved with <br />FIX 20-T or with ASOCRET-IM.</p> <p>6. C reate the coved fillet <br />Produce the coved fillet with <br />ASOCRET-IM featuring an edge height of <br />approx. 4 cm in the area prepared with <br />still wet AQUAFIN-IC slurry. After <br />approx. 1–3 hours, rework ASOCRET-IM <br />with AQUAFIN-IC.</p> <p>7. A <br /> pply AQUAFIN-IC <br />Dampen all surfaces to be waterproofed <br />with clean water. Apply two layers of <br />AQUAFIN-IC in the required useful <br />quantity with a roofer’s brush, wide brush, <br />or using spray techniques. Apply the <br />second layer while the first layer is still <br />sticky and has not yet dried out.</p> <p>8. Curing <br />The fresh coating must be protected <br />against weathering influences, e.g. sunlight, <br />wind, rain, and frost, etc. The waterproofing <br />layer must be kept damp for at least 3! <br />Complete the first damping after approx. <br />one day. <br />schomburg.com</p> <p>The SCHOMBURG group of companies <br />develops, produces and distributes construction <br />materials systems for the areas of: <br />• Waterproofing and Restoration <br />• Tiles/ Natural Stone / Screed installation <br />• Protective Flooring / Coating Systems <br />• Concrete Technology <br />SCHOMBURG is recognised for its <br />development competency and is distinguished <br />both nationally and internationally with over <br />80 years in the market.
