AQUA KRST CRYSTALLIZED WATER INSULATION MORTAR

kristalize-su-yalitim-harci

DESCRIPTION
This is cement based one–component crystallized water insulation mortar, applied inside and outside against leaking surface waters, with capillary effect, containing chemical additives with special particle size mineral aggregate and chemical additives increasing product performance.

APPLICATION AREAS
This product is used for foundation concrete, concrete water insulations, water tanks, tunnels, retaining walls, indoor and outdoors, vertical and horizontal applications and in general for safe applications on the wet floors, bathrooms and toilets.

ADVANTAGES
Easy preparation and application. Ensures desirable working time. No slipping in vertical applications. High adhesion feature. Resistant to frost and dissolution cycle. Applicable with brush and trowel. Ensures complete water insulation by filling capillary gaps due to crystallization. Protects the concrete and fitting from water corrosion.

USAGE
Prior to beginning application process, remove foreign materials from the surface and soak it. Open small holes to increase adherence on the surface. Application surface must be saturated with water one day in advance and application must be done while it is damp. Slowly pour 25 kg Forcechem® Aqua Krst into 7 lt clean water and mix with a low speed mixer or trowel until achieving a homogenous mixture. Leave aside for 5 minutes and mix again for 1 minute. Mix again. Make the corner joint sections of spaces round. Apply with brush or trowel on pre-damped surface. If hardening is achieved on first coat without dehydrating and crystallization, the second coat is applied. This period is 3-5 hours depending on ambient temperature. Adhesion process must be completed within 20-25 minutes. No application should be made at temperatures below +5⁰C and above 35⁰C. Plaster should be applied on the bonded insulation board after 2 days. These values are valid for 20⁰C surface and ambient temperature. Time diminishes at higher temperatures and increases at lower temperatures.
