Product Description: Aquafin's InjectPro-PM3811 Series of hydrophilic acrylate injection resins are formulated with superior sealing characteristics. The InjectPro-3811 acrylates are environmentally safe and include: InjectPro-PM3811 SoilStabilizer, InjectPro-PM3811-Flex, InjectPro-PM3811-Fast, and InjectPro-PM3811-UltraSeal.

InjectPro-PM3811-SoilStabilizer is designed for permeating very fine soil and filling narrow voids between the interface area of the concrete and substrate. It can also be used for creation of grout curtains behind existing concrete walls or abutments and homogenous membranes beneath concrete floors. The very low viscosity guarantees that even the smallest of voids, soil fractures, honeycombs, capillaries and hairline cracks will be completely filled and sealed with injection material.

Advantages: • Controlled, extended setting time range: 4 min – 14 minutes • Very low viscosity, excellent for penetrating into small cracks • Free from acrylamides, easy clean-up, non hazardous waste removal • Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for potable water Typical Applications: • Creation of grout curtains • Soil stabilization behind brick and concrete structures • Construction joints, concrete precast segments • Non-active (static) hairline and micro-cracks Product Installation: Refer to the Aquafin InjectPro Grouting Guideline for full instructions. Injection can be accomplished from the inside of the building by drilling through the structure into the void space and soil back-filled areas. Packers are placed into pre-drilled holes and the resin is injected using the AQUAFIN-2K-Inject-Pump, or similar, under low pressure at a 1:1 ratio by volume. Start pumping at the lowest pressure setting available and increase gradually as needed. Mixing Instructions: Reaction times (gel times) can be adjusted so that the material will cure in time to provide optimum performance depending on the structure and nature of the repair. Component A "Resin": Pour desired amount of PM3811-SoilStabilizer Resin into a clean bucket and add appropriate amount of Accelerator based on desired set time (refer to Gel Time Table below) and mix well. Component B "Hardener": Pour clean, potable water into a separate clean bucket, in the exact equal amount as the PM3811-SoilStabilizer Resin. Add Hardener Powder based on Gel Time Table below and mix well. Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. www.aquafin.net

InjectPro-PM3811-SoilStabilizer Pumping is 1:1 by volume, example mixing scenario: • Comp A: Measure 100g PM3811-SoilStabilizer and add accelerator 5g (=5%) Total: 105g • Comp B: Measure 5g (=5%) of the Hardener Powder and add 100g water (HP + water = 105g). Reaction Times: The reaction time for polymerization depends on the ambient temperature and the amounts of accelerator and hardener powder used to mix the components. • Reaction times can increase due to changes in the temperatures of the material in the soil. (Higher temp. = faster or shorter gel time. Lower Temp. = slower or longer gel time.) • pH of water used to mix Component-B can affect cure times. Potable water should be used for mixing material and for cleaning pump. • Avoid mixing large quantities (full pails). This will speed up the gel time. Reaction time is slower in a thin layer (e.g. in a crack). General calculation guideline: If temperature is increased in increments of 10°C (18°F), gel time will be cut in half. If temperature is decreased by increments of 10°C (18°F), gel time doubles. Average Gel Times Accelerator

*Times quoted are from laboratory data, reaction times may vary in the field. Exact reaction times should be determined on site using "cup tests" before starting injection work.
Cleaning: The pump and accessories can easily be flushed and cleaned on the jobsite by using normal detergent and clean water. Hardened material can be softened with mild cleaners (i.e., Simple Green, 409, etc.) and easily removed mechanically. Packaging: InjectPro-PM3811 SoilStabilizer is supplied in a kit containing: • Component-A (Resin): •5 gal (42.7 lb) pail, (18.1 L/19.4 kg) liquid • Accelerator: •1 quart (2.13 lb) bottle, (0.86 L/0.97 kg) liquid • Component-B: •H ardener: 2.13 lb (0.97 kg) powder, Mix with 5 gal (19 L) water (provide on site) Component-A is ready for use after being mixed with the accelerator supplied. Component-B is made up at the jobsite by dissolving the hardener powder in potable water. InjectPro-PM3811-SoilStabilizer is injected using a 2-component pump with stainless steel mixing parts, such as the AQUAFIN-2K-Inject-Pump. Shelf Life: Shelf life is 24 months in closed, original packaging, stored in a dry, cool place.
Storage: InjectPro-PM3811-SoilStabilizer should be stored in a dry enclosure in closed containers at temperatures between 50°F to 86°F. (10°C to 30°C). Protect product and packaging from inclement weather. CAUTION: Do not let the accelerator and hardener powder come in contact during storage. Store individual components separately from each other.
