Description:
AQUAFIN®-IC is a state-of-the-art one-component, penetrating cementitious material which waterproofs and protects new or old structurally sound concrete or concrete masonry in-depth. It resists strong hydrostatic pressure and is not a vapor barrier (lets concrete “breathe”).
AQUAFIN®-IC contains active waterproofing chemicals which react with moisture and free lime in the concrete, creating insoluble crystalline complexes which seal the capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks. They penetrate even against strong hydrostatic pressure, becoming an integral part of the concrete. The waterproofing chemicals remain active for the life of the structure, permanently sealing it from water penetration.
Unlike a membrane, AQUAFIN®-IC may require up to one month to reach its maximum waterproofing capability. Environmental factors such as ambient temperature, density of concrete, moisture present and weather conditions all can affect the timing of the sealing process. Under dry conditions the AQUAFIN®-IC chemicals lie dormant, however they reactivate whenever re-exposed to moisture. AQUAFIN®-IC post seals shrinkage cracks up to 0.4 mm, which occur after the product has been applied and cured.
Concrete treated with AQUAFIN®-IC is highly resistant to most aggressive substances, pH 4 - 11 constant contact and pH 2 - 12 periodic contact.
In addition it protects against rebar corrosion, spalling,freeze/thaw cycles and weather related damage.



Advantages: 

Main uses :

• Exterior (positive side) or interior (negative side) waterproofing of below grade foundations, basements, retaining walls, utility vaults, elevator pits.

• Water tanks (potable + non-potable), wastewater tanks, water catchment basins, manholes, marine aquariums, parking garages, tunnels, slurry walls.
