Initially, it functions <br />as a hydrophobic, Permeability Reducing Admixture Non-hydrostatic <br />(PRAN) and secondly it functions as a hydrophilic Permeability Reducing <br />Admixture Hydrostatic (PRAH) reacting with the calcium hydroxide to create <br />millions of nanocrystals that grow throughout the concrete matrix. Finally, <br />steel reinforcement is protected by an active migrating corrosion inhibitor by <br />forming a protective molecular layer. This enhances concrete durability and <br />extends the life of the structure. <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI can be added to the concrete mix at the time of <br />batching or at the job site to a ready mix truck with full mixing capabilities. <br />Working Principle: <br />• During concrete hardening BETOCRETE-CP365-CI forms millions of fine <br />crystalline fibers inside the capillary pores. <br />• Crystalline fibers reduce the pore diameter, thus blocking the flow of water <br />through the capillary voids. <br />• The treated concrete is permanently watertight. <br />• The hydrophobic reaction reduces water absorption into the concrete <br />matrix. <br />The BETOCRETE-CP365-CI chemicals remain an integral part of the concrete <br />for the life of the structure, always re-activating whenever exposed to <br />moisture. BETOCRETE-CP365-CI can seal static cracks up to 0.5 mm (0.02 <br />in), which occur months or years after the concrete has cured and hardened. <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI waterproofing chemicals start reacting immediately. <br />However, it may require up to several weeks to reach its maximum <br />waterproofing capability. Environmental factors such as ambient temperature, <br />density of concrete, moisture and weather conditions all can affect the timing <br />of the sealing process. Concrete treated with BETOCRETE-CP365-CI protects <br />against rebar corrosion, spalling, freeze/thaw cycles and weather-related <br />damage. <br />Typical Applications: <br />Any concrete mix requiring waterproofing (water impermeable) capabilities, <br />such as: <br />• Tunnels and subway systems <br />• Foundations <br />• Precast structures</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>• Parking structures <br />• Water and waste water treatments plants <br />• Reservoirs and underground vaults <br />• Secondary containment structures <br />• Bridges, dams and highway structures <br />• Water Features, aquariums, theme parks, water parks and marinas. <br />Advantages: <br />• Reduction in water penetration <br />• Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure, positive (active) or negative (passive) <br />water pressure side <br />• Self-healing concrete: Can self-seal static hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) <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 and <br />sheet applied goods. <br />• Extends concrete longevity by providing enhanced protection for <br />reinforcement steel. <br />Packaging: <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI: 40-lb. (18.1 kg) bags and pails. <br />Dosage Rates: <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI - 0.75% - 0.95% by weight of portland cement <br />content. <br />Consult Aquafin Technical Department for guidance in determining <br />appropriate dosage rates and any specific project requirements which may <br />need to be met. <br />Batching: <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI can be added to the concrete mixture at any <br />time prior to placement of the concrete. It is generally recommended to <br />add admixture materials at the ready-mix concrete plant during batching; <br />however, BETOCRETE-CP365-CI can be added at the job site. BETOCRETECP365-CI crystalline waterproofing admixtures must be mixed with concrete <br />for a minimum of five (5) minutes at maximum mixing speed, depending on <br />the mixer type, to 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 />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI. <br />• Trial mixes under project conditions to determine setting time, slump, air <br />content and compressive strength of concrete are highly recommended. <br />• Aggregates conforming to a well graded sieve curve are necessary to <br />assure water tightness.</p> <p>Page 1 of 2</p> <p>(10/9/20-EKVB)</p> <p>BETOCRETE-CP365-CI <br />• BETOCRETE-CP365-CI can accelerate the initial and final setting time <br />of portland cement type III/V concrete mixes. Adjust or remove any <br />accelerating admixtures accordingly. <br />• Depending on weather conditions, the use of water reducers, <br />superplasticizers, retarders and/or accelerating admixtures may be <br />necessary to maintain desired workability. <br />• Add other admixtures independently from BETOCRETE-CP365-CI addition. <br />A. Ready Mix Plant <br />1. Mix dry BETOCRETE-CP365-CI with clean, potable water to a thin slurry <br />consistency, i.e., 40 lb. (18.1 kg) BETOCRETE-CP365-CI with 4 gallons <br />(15 L) water. <br />2. Pour the required amount of mixed BETOCRETE-CP365-CI into the drum of <br />the ready-mix truck. <br />3. Produce the cement, aggregate and additives as per concrete mix design <br />in the batching plant. Take into account the amount of water already <br />placed in the ready-mix truck (item A.1) <br />4. Drop the concrete mix into the ready-mix truck. <br />5. Mix at least 5 minutes to assure homogenous distribution of the <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI in the concrete. <br />B. Ready Mix Truck - Job Site Mixing <br />1. Mix BETOCRETE-CP365-CI Powder with clean, potable water to a thin <br />slurry consistency, i.e., 40 lb. (18.1 kg) BETOCRETE-CP365-CI 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 BETOCRETE-CP365-CI into the drum of <br />the ready-mix truck, containing the wet concrete mix. <br />3. Mix at least 5 minutes to assure homogenous distribution of the <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI in the concrete. <br />4. Immediately place concrete. <br />NOTE: Do not add bulk (>40 lbs.) dry BETOCRETE-CP365-CI Powder to <br />wet concrete mix. This may cause clumping and uniform dispersion cannot be <br />guaranteed. Mix with water first, before adding to wet concrete. <br />Placing: <br />Concrete containing BETOCRETE-CP365-CI should be placed the same <br />way as normal concrete. <br />Joints and Pipe Penetrations: <br />Cold joints and pipe penetrations must be designed using AQUAFINWaterstop. BETOCRETE-CP365-CI does not prevent defects in concrete. <br />Consult Aquafin on particular applications. Through penetrations must <br />be securely sealed to maintain watertightness. BETOCRETE-CP365-CI 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.</p> <p>Non-Chloride, Non-Corrosive: <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI 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 BETOCRETECP365-CI. <br />Finishes: <br />If coatings, paint or other treatments are to be used on the negative side of <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI concrete, thorough surface preparation is required to <br />remove waterproofing crystals from the surface (i.e., minimum 5000 psi high <br />pressure water blasting). <br />Storage and Shelf Life: <br />BETOCRETE-CP365-CI-Powder: Store in a dry enclosed area off the ground. <br />Shelf life is 12 months when stored under proper conditions. <br />Note: Proper application is the responsibility of the user.
