Waterstop

mixed with water, becomes a very fast-setting waterproofer. It will set hard even under running water, making it an ideal solution for emergency and permanent waterproofing needs. The setting time varies from 1 to 4 minutes depending on ambient temperatures.

Uses:

- Stops leaks in all types of pipework and water tanks
- Damming drains and culverts
- Prevents water ingress into cellars and basements
- Fills and seals cracks and leaks in swimming pools and ponds
- Emergency repairs to boats and ship hulls
- Caulking surfaces to prevent leakages

Usage Rate:

5kg of powder, when mixed with the correct amount of water, produces approximately 2 litres of cement paste (0.002 M²)

1. Preparation

For a permanent or semi-permanent repair, clean the area around the leak with a wire brush to remove any flaking paint or organic material.

Remove any grease or oil with detergent.

Key plastic surfaces before application.

2. Mixing

Thoroughly mix the powder with approximately one-third of its weight in water to form a stiff putty-like paste.

Mixing should be completed within one minute.

Some practice may be required to perfect the consistency.

3. Application

Mould the paste into a ball using gloved hands.

Immediately apply it to the leak and hold firmly in position without movement.

The Waterstop will set hard within a minute.

Smooth the surface with wet gloves if desired.

4. Finishing

Excess material can be removed with a knife or trowel within a few minutes of setting.

Once fully hardened, Waterstop can be painted or wrapped in fibreglass tape.

No curing time is necessary.

5. Cleaning Tools

Wash all tools immediately after use with water.

6. Precautions

DO NOT move or disturb the paste once setting has started, as this will cause the product to crumble and lose strength.

Waterstop releases strong alkali when wet, which may cause irritation to certain skin types and can be harmful if inhaled or ingested.

If contact occurs with eyes, flush with cold water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
