The chemistry within the <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX reacts with moisture and free lime in the concrete, <br />creating millions of insoluble crystalline fibers, which fill the pores, capillary <br />tracts and minor shrinkage cracks within the concrete. Passage of water <br />through the concrete, either from the positive or negative water pressure <br />side is permanently blocked and the reinforcement protected from <br />corrosion. AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX can be added to the concrete mix at <br />the time of batching or at the job site to a ready mix truck with full mixing <br />capabilities. AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX is designed for concrete mix designs <br />where normal to mild retarded set times are desired. When extended <br />set-times are required use AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX (ES) and for mixes with <br />accelerated to normal set times use AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX (NR). Consult <br />with Aquafin to determine which version of IC ADMIX best meets project <br />specific parameters, and conduct trial mixes under project conditions. <br />Working Principle: <br />• During concrete hardening AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX forms millions of fine <br />crystalline fibers inside the capillary pores. <br />• Crystalline fibers reduce the pore diameter, thus blocking the flow of <br />water through the capillary voids. <br />• The treated concrete is permanently watertight. <br />The AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX chemicals remain an integral part of the <br />concrete for the life of the structure, always re-activating whenever <br />exposed to moisture. AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX can seal static cracks up <br />to 1/64” (0.4 mm), which occur months or years after the concrete has <br />cured and hardened. AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX waterproofing chemicals start <br />reacting immediately. However, it may require up to several weeks to <br />reach its maximum waterproofing capability. Environmental factors such as <br />ambient temperature, density of concrete, moisture and weather conditions <br />all can affect the timing of the sealing process. Concrete treated with <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX protects against rebar corrosion, spalling, freeze/ <br />thaw cycles and weather related damage. <br />Typical Applications: <br />Any concrete mix requiring waterproofing (water impermeable) capabilities, such as: <br />• Tunnels and subway systems <br />• Foundations <br />• Precast structures <br />• Parking structures <br />Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>• Water and waste water treatments plants <br />• Reservoirs and underground vaults <br />• Secondary containment structures <br />Advantages: <br />• NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certified for potable water applications <br />• Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure, positive (active) or negative (passive) water pressure side <br />• Can self-seal static hairline cracks up to 1/64” (0.4 mm) <br />• Permanent - becomes an integral part of the concrete <br />• Not a vapor barrier - allows concrete to breathe <br />• Negligible interference with water reducers & plasticizers <br />• Negligible effect/influence on slump and air entrainment <br />• Impervious to physical damage and deterioration <br />• Non toxic, inorganic, zero VOC (0%) <br />• Contains no chlorides <br />• Less costly than traditional methods of waterproofing such as coatings <br />and sheet applied goods. <br />Note: For the best dispersion characteristics, use IC ADMIX-Liquid. <br />Packaging: <br />IC ADMIX-Liquid: 5 gallon pails and 240 gallon totes <br />IC ADMIX-Powder: 5 lb. (2.25 kg) and 7.5 lb. (3.4 kg) bags <br />40 lb (18.1 kg) bags and pails <br />Contact Aquafin for availability of custom sized packaging. <br />Dosage Rates: <br />IC ADMIX-Liquid <br />2% - 3% by weight of portland cement content, min. 1.25 gal/yd3. <br />IC ADMIX-Powder <br />0.8% - 1.0% by weight of portland cement content. <br />Consult Aquafin Technical Department for guidance in determining appropriate dosage rates and relating to any specific project requirements which <br />may need to be met. <br />Batching: <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX can be added to the concrete mixture at any time <br />prior to placement of the concrete. It is generally recommended to add <br />admixture materials at the ready-mix concrete plant during batching; <br />however, AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX can be added at the job site. Crystalline <br />waterproofing admixtures must be mixed with concrete for a minimum of <br />five (5) minutes at maximum mixing speed, depending on the mixer type, to <br />ensure complete dispersion and uniformity. <br />The following mixing recommendations are guidelines only: <br />• The concrete mix should be minimum 40°F (4°C) when incorporating <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX. <br />• Trial mixes under project conditions to determine setting time, slump, air <br />content and compressive strength of concrete are highly recommended.</p> <p>Page 1of 4</p> <p>(102622-EKAC)</p> <p>AQUAFIN® IC ADMIX <br />• Aggregates conforming to a well graded sieve curve are necessary to <br />assure water tightness. <br />• AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX can retard the initial and final setting time of <br />portland cement type l/ll concrete mixes. Adjust or remove any retarding <br />admixtures accordingly. <br />• AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX can accelerate the initial and final setting time of <br />portland cement type III/V concrete mixes. Adjust or remove any accelerating admixtures accordingly. <br />• Depending on weather conditions, the use of water reducers, superplasticizers, retarders and/or accelerating admixtures may be necessary to <br />maintain desired workability. <br />• Add other admixtures independently from AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX addition.</p> <p>B. Ready Mix Truck - Job Site Mixing <br />1. Mix AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX Powder with clean, potable water to a thin <br />slurry consistency. i.e. 50 lb (22.7 kg) AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX with 4 <br />gallons (15 L) water. Take into account the amount of water already <br />placed in the ready-mix truck. <br />2. Pour the required amount of mixed AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX into the drum <br />of the ready-mix truck, containing the wet concrete mix. <br />3. Mix at least 5 minutes to assure homogenous distribution of the <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX in the concrete.</p> <p>NOTE: Precise combinations of ingredients in concrete can have a <br />profound effect on the performance and characteristics of the concrete. For <br />this reason, Aquafin highly recommends thorough and complete testing of <br />sample batches of the concrete mix design with Aquafin-IC ADMIX, prior <br />to the actual jobsite pour. The use of qualified and experienced professionals in evaluating samples and confirming acceptable properties for each <br />specific project is also highly recommended. When used properly, and <br />placed in a concrete mix of sufficient workability, the AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX <br />will not adversely alter the compressive or flexural strength of concrete or <br />shotcrete.</p> <p>Placing: <br />Concrete containing AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX should be placed the same <br />way as normal concrete.</p> <p>IC ADMIX-Liquid <br />A. Ready Mix Plant <br />1. Stir AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX Liquid prior to use, to assure that the mixture is <br />homogeneous. <br />2. Reduce mixing water by approx. amount of AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX <br />added. <br />3. Drop the concrete mix into the ready-mix truck. <br />4. Mix at least 5 minutes to assure homogenous distribution of the <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX in the concrete. <br />B. Ready Mix Truck - Job Site Mixing <br />1.

Mix at least 5 minutes to assure homogenous distribution of the <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX in the concrete.</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>NOTE: Do not add bulk (>50 lbs.) dry AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX Powder to <br />wet concrete mix. This may cause clumping and uniform dispersion cannot <br />be guaranteed. Mix with water first, before adding to wet concrete.</p> <p>Joints and Pipe Penetrations: <br />Cold joints and pipe penetrations must be designed using AQUAFINWaterstop. AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX does not prevent defects in concrete. <br />Consult Aquafin on particular applications. Through penetrations must <br />be securely sealed to maintain watertightness. AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX is <br />designed to waterproof rigid concrete structures only and will not reliably <br />seal cracks and joints which are subjected to variable loading or repeated <br />movement. Contact the Aquafin Technical Department for project specific <br />recommendations. <br />Curing: <br />Cure as per relevant ACI guidelines. <br />Durability: <br />Concrete treated with AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX is more durable than equivalent plain concrete due to its reduced permeability. <br />Non-Chloride, Non-Corrosive: <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX will not initiate or promote corrosion of reinforcing <br />steel embedded in concrete. Neither sodium chloride, calcium chloride nor <br />any chloride-based ingredients are used in the manufacture of AQUAFINIC ADMIX. <br />Finishes: <br />If coatings, paint or other treatments are to be used on the negative side of <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX concrete, thorough surface preparation is required <br />to remove waterproofing crystals from the surface (i.e. minimum 5000 psi <br />high pressure water blasting). <br />Storage and Shelf Life: <br />AQUAFIN- IC ADMIX-Liquid <br />Store in room above 50°F (10°C). Note: Settlement or crystallization <br />may occur below 50°F (10°C). If this happens, store in room above <br />70°F (21°C) for 24 hours and re-stir. Protect from freezing. If frozen or <br />crystallized, thaw gradually and stir to homogeneous mixture. Shelf life <br />in unopened original containers is twelve months when stored at 70°F <br />(21°C). <br />AQUAFIN-IC ADMIX-Powder <br />Store in a dry enclosed area off the ground. Shelf life is twelve months <br />when stored under proper conditions. <br />Note: Proper application is the responsibility of the user.
