DESCRIPTION:
AT-INGRO (UW) 653 is a moisture insensitive liquid which is epoxy based and solvent free. It is specially recommended for concrete repair in damp, wet and under-water conditions. After the components are mixed well, the liquid is injected in concrete cracks; it becomes a very rigid and high strength material and results in solving the problem. STANDARDS: It complies with ASTM C881 – 87, Grade I, Class B + C
USES:
- AT-INGRO (UW) 653 is used to fill and seal cavities and cracks in structural components such as:
- Columns
- Machine bases
- Beams
- Foundations
- Decks
- Water Retaining Structures
ADVANTAGES:
- AT-INGRO (UW) 653 is a deeply penetrative liquid with high adhesive qualities. Other benefits are:
- Solvent Free
- Suitable for both DRY & DAMP conditions
- Usable at low temperatures
- Shrinkage free hardening
INSTRUCTION FOR USE:
- SURFACE PREPARATION
- Crack surfaces must be clean, free from standing water and all loosely adhering particles, cement laitance and foreign particles should be removed.
- MIXING
- Mix both the components together in right proportion for at least 2 minutes with a recommended stirrer and electric hand drill at a slow speed (max 600 rpm) until smooth consistency and homogeneous mixture of uniform colour is achieved.
- Proper care has to be taken so that no air is entrapped due to mixing.
- APPLICATION METHOD
- Various application methods are practiced with different equipment requirement, depending on the nature of the work to be carried out.
- Generally used automated inject equipment or manual method.
- Set appropriate injection ports based on system used. Inject AT-INGRO (UW) 653 with steady pressure after adhesive seal has cured.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE:
- IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
- Minimum and Maximum crack width for application: 0.1 & 4.0 mm respectively.
- Minimum age of new concrete : 3-6 weeks
- Not to be injected under hydrostatic pressure
- CLEANING
- All tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
