It is <br />ideal for sealing joints in precast concrete manholes. <br />Typical Applications: <br />• Manholes <br />• Concrete sewer pipes <br />• Concrete lined tunnels <br />• Concrete dams <br />Advantages: <br />• Effective in stopping high flow active leaks <br />• Flexible <br />• Gel or foam consistency determined by water to grout ratio <br />• Can be injected as resin only in heavy water flows <br />Installation Procedures: <br />Refer to the current Aquafin Chemical Grout Handbook and please <br />contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin <br />Representative for detailed grouting instructions. Refer to ICRI 340.12006 - Guideline for Selecting Grouts to Control Leakage in Concrete <br />Structures. <br />InjectProECO-Polygel is typically injected with a two-component pump with <br />water as the second component. In active leaks with heavy water flows, <br />Polygel can be injected as resin only. Polygel only needs water to achieve <br />the final foam or gel, to control the reaction speed and to flush, the machine. <br />• Heavy water leakages <br />Because of the high reactivity in combination with water, InjectProECOPolygel is used for shutting off heavy water leakages (up to 5 m³ per <br />minute). The ratio to be used is 1:1 or pure resin. <br />• Expansion joints <br />InjectProECO-Polygel can be used in expansion joints because of the <br />foaming capability and good flexibility of the end product as well as a <br />good adhesion to the aggregate. The ratio to be used: InjectProECOPolygel to water 1:1 to 1:3. <br />• Gel membrane/screen injection <br />Because of the low viscosity of the water/polymer mixture, it can be used <br />as a liquid but solidifying gel membrane applied to the positive side of a <br />concrete structure from the negative side; ratio to be used InjectProECOPolygel to water 1:7 or 1:8. The gel mixture will fill the voids from the <br />aggregates (like sand etc.) behind the wall to avoid that water will come <br />into the wall construction. The procedure is drilling through the wall and <br />pumping the Polygel water mixture via packers.</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>Physical Properties</p> <p>InjectProECO-Polygel</p> <p>Color:</p> <p>Light Brown</p> <p>Specific Gravity (ASTM D891):</p> <p>1.09 - 1.12 g/cc</p> <p>Viscosity @ 77°F (25°C) <br />(ASTM D2196):</p> <p>725 - 1025 cps</p> <p>Percent Solids:</p> <p>100%</p> <p>Flash Point <br />(Pensky-Martens EPA 1010):</p> <p>>200°F (>93°C)</p> <p>Corrosiveness:</p> <p>Non-corrosive</p> <p>Shelf Life:</p> <p>12 months (1 year)</p> <p>All data are average values obtained under laboratory conditions.

Ratio to be used Polygel to water 1:7 or <br />1:8. The procedure is drilling holes to 80 % of the wall thickness or until 5 <br />cm from the back of the wall and pumping the Polygel-water mixture via <br />packers in the wall. <br />• Oakum technique <br />Because of the reactivity with water the Polygel can be used for the <br />activated oakum technique where oakum or any other kind of carrier <br />material is soaked in pure Polygel. The oakum and the Polygel are <br />applied into any void where small water leakages can be a problem <br />(pipe outlet through walls etc.). <br />Packaging: <br />InjectProECO-Polygel: 5 gallon pails <br />Storage & Shelf Life: <br />•S <br /> torage: Product is highly moisture sensitive. Store in unopened, original, <br />undamaged, tightly sealed containers in a dry, enclosed area at <br />temperatures between 40°F – 85°F (5°C to 30°C). <br />• Shelf Life:12 months when stored properly <br />Limitations: <br />• Temperature significantly affects viscosity. Protect material from excessive <br />heating and cooling prior to grouting to avoid affecting viscosity. <br />• If using water baths to cool or heat pails avoid splashes to prevent water <br />coming in direct contact with resin - this will activate the reaction. <br />• Do not warm material or packaging above 85°F (30°C). <br />• Do not reseal containers of contaminated materials as it can create <br />pressure.</p> <p>Page 1 of 2 <br />(07/10/2025-EK,VB,AC)</p> <p>InjectProECO-Polygel <br />General Information: <br />All details in particular to the suggestions for the processing and use of the <br />product is based on our present knowledge and experiences at the time <br />of printing.
