InjectProECO-Polygel
Hydrophilic, flexible polyurethane grout for stopping active water leaks CSI Div. 03 03 64 00 Injection Grouting Product Description: InjectProECO-Polygel is a solvent-free, polyurethane injection grout designed to react with added water to produce an impermeable foam or elastomeric soft gel. Typical Applications: Any concrete structure with heavy water leaks such as • Water retaining/storage structures • Concrete Dams • Tunnels • Manholes • Expansion joints Reaction Times: Gel:Water

Installation Procedures: Refer to Aquafin InjectPro Grouting Guide for full instructions. InjectProECO-Polygel is injected with a two-component pump with water as the second component. Polygel only needs water to achieve the final foam or gel, to control the reaction speed and to flush the machine. • Heavy water leakages Because of the high reactivity in combination with water, InjectProECOPolygel is used for shutting off heavy water leakages (up to 5 m³ per minute). The ratio to be used is 1:1 or pure resin. • Expansion joints InjectProECO-Polygel can be used in expansion joints because of the foaming capability and good flexibility of the end product as well as a good adhesion to the aggregate. The ratio to be used: InjectProECOPolygel to water 1:4 or 1:5. • Gel membrane/screen injection Because of the low viscosity of the water/polymer mixture, it can be used as a liquid but solidifying gel membrane applied to the positive side of a concrete structure from the negative side; ratio to be used InjectProECO-Polygel to water 1:10. The gel mixture will fill the voids from the aggregates (like sand etc.) behind the wall to avoid that water will come into the wall construction. The procedure is drilling through the wall and pumping the Polygel water mixture via packers. • Masonry walls/screen injection Because of the low viscosity in combination with a relatively long pot life the Polygel can be used in masonry walls as a vertical barrier to fill the voids/joints in masonry walls to avoid that water comes through the voids Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. www.aquafin.net

to the surface of the wall. Ratio to be used Polygel to water 1:12/13. The procedure is drilling holes to 80 % of the wall thickness or until 5 cm from the back of the wall and pumping the Polygel-water mixture via packers in the wall. • Gel encapsulation Because of the low viscosity in combination with a good adhesion Polygel can be used for the gel encapsulation method where voids are filled with a jelly material (e.g. delaminated concrete slabs etc.). The ratio to be used Polygel to water 1:10. • Oakum technique Because of the reactivity with water the Polygel can be used for the activated oakum technique where oakum or any other kind of carrier material is soaked in purePolygel. The oakum and the Polygel are applied into any void where small water leakages can be a problem (pipe outlet through walls etc.). • Injection hoses Because of the low viscosity in combination with a relatively long pot life the Polygel can be used for injection hoses being installed in new structures for immediate waterproofing or for later waterproofing. The ratio to be used Polygel to water 1:12/13. Packaging: InjectProECO-Polygel: 5 gallon pails Storage & Shelf Life: 2 years when stored properly in unopened original container. Product is highly moisture sensitive. Store in original sealed containers at temperature between 60°F – 90°F. Opened containers must be handled properly to prevent moisture contamination. Limitations: • Temperature significantly affects viscosity. Protect material from excessive heating and cooling prior to grouting to avoid affecting viscosity. • If using water baths to cool or heat pails avoid splashes to prevent water coming in direct contact with resin - this will activate the reaction. • Do not warm material or packaging above 90°F. • Do not reseal containers of contaminated materials as it can create pressure. • Clean up spills with adequate ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment. Cover the spill area with absorbent material such as clay or vermiculite and transfer to metal waste containers. Wash area with decontamination solution (5-10% solution of sodium carbonate). Dispose of waste in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Page 1 of 2
