It cures and swells in the presence of moisture or water. <br />Curing time depends on temperature and humidity, for example cure time <br />decreases when temperature and RH are higher. Waterstop-GunGrade <br />cures 24-36 hours. Waterstop-GunGrade is available in cartridges and <br />sausages.</p> <p>Uncured</p> <p>Typical Applications: <br />Any concrete structure with larger volume water leaks such as: <br />• Sealing rough and smooth construction joints of cast in-place or precast <br />concrete in wet and underwater applications. <br />• Sealing joints in pre-cast segments in wet or underwater applications <br />such as manholes, box culverts, cable ducts and pipes. <br />• Sealing joints between sheet piles. <br />Advantages: <br />• Excellent adhesion to concrete, PVC, HDPE, steel, & fiberglass <br />• Can be applied to wet surfaces or underwater when concrete is poured <br />within 2 hours <br />• Adapts to irregular surfaces <br />• Expands to more than 200% of original cured volume <br />• Easy application with standard caulking guns <br />• Solvent free <br />Substrate Preparation: <br />Concrete substrate must be dust-free and no lose debris. The surface can <br />be rough or smooth, damp or dry. <br />Installation Procedures: <br />• 10 oz. Cartridges: Use a heavy duty single cartridge gun. Screw on the <br />nozzle and cut diagonally at the appropriate position <br />• 20oz. Sausages: Put the sausage in the empty tube of the bulk caulking <br />gun and cut 1/8 inch off the top of the sausage. Close the tube and <br />install the nozzle. Nozzles are supplied with the appropriate opening. <br />• Waterstop-GunGrade must be applied in an uninterrupted band <br />(minimum 3/8” bead), gunned in the middle of the joint or precast <br />element. <br />• Concrete cover must be minumum 3” inches on all sides, in order to <br />avoid cracks from the pressure of material swelling. <br />• If installing Waterstop-GunGrade under water or during heavy rain, <br />concrete placement must begin within 2 hours of application to provide <br />confinement for the material and prevent potential premature swelling, <br />which can lower effectiveness of the material.</p> <p>Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>Solids</p> <p>100%</p> <p>Flash Point ASTM D93</p> <p>>266ºF</p> <p>Vertical Slump</p> <p>1/8”</p> <p>Skins over</p> <p>~6−10 hours</p> <p>Cured 7 days at 77ºF (22ºC) 3/8” thick <br />Elongation at break ASTM D3574</p> <p>~625%</p> <p>Tensile Strength ASTM D412</p> <p>~300 psi</p> <p>Resistance to hydrostatic <br />pressure (DNCC)</p> <p>>330 ft of head</p> <p>Swelling capacity in <br />contact with water (DDNC)</p> <p>~200%</p> <p>Theoretical Coverage per Cartridge <br />Bead Coverage 10 oz.

Product is highly moisture sensitive. Store <br />in original sealed containers at temperature between 60°F – 90°F. <br />Limitations: <br />• Waterstop-GunGrade must be fully confined on all sides to perform <br />properly. When used in precast or joints, minimum concrete cover is 3” <br />on all sides. Unconfined material may expand greater than 200% and <br />develop an open celled structure, resulting in leaks. <br />• Not suitable for surface caulking applications. <br />• Not recommended for application at temperatures below 40ºF as <br />material can have very long cure times (exceeding several days). <br />Note: <br />Proper application is the responsibility of the user.
