Integrated Waterproofing
ADVANTAGES
Becomes an integral part of the concrete, forming a complete body of strength
and durability. Penetron should not be confused with a coating or membrane
Penetrates deeply and seals concretes capillary tracts and shrinkage cracks
Can be applied from either the positive or negative side
Waterproofing and chemical-resistance properties remain intact even if the
surface is damaged
Completely effective against high hydrostatic pressure
More effective overall and less costly than hydrolytic membrane or clay panel
systems
Easy to apply, labor- cost effective
Increases concretes compressive strength
Cannot come apart at the seams, tear or puncture
Does not require protection during backfilling, placement of steel or wire mesh,
and other common procedures
Seals hairline and shrinkage cracks of up to 1/64 (0.4 mm) rather than merely
masking or bridging them
Resists chemical attack (pH3-11 constant contact, 2-12 intermittent contact) and
provides a range of protection from freeze/thaw cycles, aggressive subsoil
waters, sea water, carbonates, chlorides, sulfates and nitrates
Can be applied to moist or green concrete
Protects embedded steel (reinforcing steel and wire mesh)
Nontoxic. Approved for potable water applications (NSF 61)
Mixing of Penetron to Concrete :It shall be mix with Penetron Admix integral crystalline
waterproofing @ 0.8% by weight of total cementations contained
i.e. 400 Kgs x0.8%= 3.2 Kgs of Admix per
Cu. Mt. Concrete shall be added with 4.0 Liters. Of water and
shall be mixed with the stirrer attached with drill paddle and
poured into the miller at site and mixed for at least 5 minutes
and poured the concrete at desired
PLUGGING OF TIE-RODS HOLES: Clean the surface area of all dirt, oil, laitance, loose matter, etc Tie Rod
periphery shall be cut and roughen.
Tie rod PVC pipe shall be removed and other steel must be cut back to
minimum depth of 1# (2.5cm) before patching. These holes shall be
plugged with Rendroc Plug mortar.
Breaking & removing the existing unsound concrete minimum 15mm to
20mm and cleaning with water, aggregate exposed finish, free from
contaminants that may prevent adhesion.
Providing and applying one coat of Penetron and repairing the surface
with repair mortar after finishing final coat of Penetron will be applied
Providing and laying of Box type waterproofing :Total thickness 75mm in CM 1:4 proportion with waterproof
admixture as per specification / method statement approved by
structural consultant / Engineer-in-Charge. First layer consist of
20mm thick cement sand mortar in 1:4 proportion with
waterproofing compound (4% by weight of cement) shall be laid
on PCC for Raft / RCC walls as protective layer including 20mm
size aggregate embedded into the first layer before the setting
of mortar (weight of aggregate shall be at the rate of 20kg/sq.
mt.) including minimum 3 days curing, second layer consist of
600mm x 600mm Shahabad stone slab of not less than 40mm
thick with machine cut edge laid over 20mm thick metal coba
bedding including joint filling (5 to 10mm) with neat cement
slurry & waterproofing compound and embedding aggregate of
size less than 12mm and finishing top layer of Shahabad stone
with 15mm thick cement sand mortar in 1:4 proportion with
waterproof liquid (dosages as per manufacturer specification)
and the surface is finish smooth with minimum 3 days curing
The Approximate costing per liter for any Water tank or
STP will come to Rs. 0.70 / Liter
