ARMORCOAT 1C
ONE COMPONENT CRYSTALLINE WATERPROOFING SLURRY
Product Description
Armorcoat 1C is one-component crystalline waterproofing slurry that is specially designed to permanently waterproof both old and new concrete. It lowers the permeability of concrete and is used in place of surface applied waterproofing membranes for improved durability and longevity of concrete. When applied on a concrete surface it penetrates into the concrete and forms nano-crystals that blocks the passage of water through the pores of the concrete.
- Easy application, environmental friendly and
cost effective - Potable water approved – NSF/ANSI 61
- Seals and post seals shrinkage cracks, up to
1/64” (0.4 mm) - Can be applied to green concrete as soon as
forms are stripped - Protects concrete against fresh water, salt water,
waste water & aggressive ground water - Resists strong hydrostatic pressure
- Applied to positive or negative side water
pressure
- Suitable for all concrete applications for water
impermeability - Exterior (positive side) or interior (negative side)
waterproofing of below grade foundations,
basements, retaining walls, utility vaults,
elevator pits. - Water tanks, wastewater tanks, water catchment
basins, manholes, parking garages, tunnels,
slurry walls.
Surface Preparation Concrete substrates must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25N/mm2) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5N/mm2. The substrate must be clean and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc. if in doubt, apply a test area first. Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to the substrate, filling of voids and surface leveling must be carried out by using Armorpaatch 100.Thoroughly rinse all the surfaces to be waterproofed with clean water. Ensure that the surface is saturated to control surface suction and ensure the growth of the crystalline formation deep within the pores of the substrate.
Mixing & Application Add the 3 parts of Armorcoat 1C powder to 1 part of clean water and mix for at least 3 minutes with a mechanical mixer to a creamy slurry consistency. Mix only as much material as can be used within 30- 40 minutes. In case false setting occurs, do not add water; restir to restore workablilty.
Application A trial dry-shake application is highly recommended prior to the actual application.
Horizontal Surfaces & Construction Joints
Dry-sprinkle and power-trowel or wooden float application: The specified amount of Armorcoat 1C is dry distributed, by hand, using a sieve, or similar device, onto the concrete surface when the concrete to be treated starts to set initially. It is then troweled in until coverage is uniform and the specified finish is achieved (smooth or brushed).
Split Slabs / Construction Joints Apply Armorcoat 1C in slurry or dry powder consistency to pre-watered concrete substrate, split slabs or construction joints immediately prior to casting the structural slab or wall.
Brush or spray application Ensure that the Slab surfaces have a rough wood float or broom finish. Apply Armorcoat 1C in slurry consistency in the specified quantity, in one coat.
Vertical Surfaces & Construction Joints
Brush application Brush on two coats of Armorcoat 1C in a slurry consistency onto the material evenly and work it well into the surface. Ensure that the second coat is applied while the first coat is still tacky. Spray Application Spray on one or two coats using compressed airspray equipment in circular movements Ensure that the second coat is applied while the first coat is still tacky
Exposed Areas The freshly treated surfaces should be protected from rain for a minimum period of 24 hrs.Start curing as soon as Armorcoat 1C has hardened sufficiently so as not to be damaged by a fine water spray. Keep damp for a period of 2 – 3 days for standard waterproofing applications, 7 days for potable water tanks. Protect exposed surfaces against direct sun, wind and frost by covering with plastic sheeting, burlap, or similar. Do not lay plastic sheeting directly on Armorcoat 1C as air contact is required for proper curing. Back filling can be carried out 36-72 hours after completion of the Armorcoat 1C treatment. Protection boards are generally not required. Backfill material shall be moist and not contain rocks or larger aggregate.
Indoor treated areas Self curing in cool areas with high humidity. Keep moist for 2 – 3 days in areas with low humidity and 7 days for potable water tanks. Provide air circulation for minimum 24 hrs following the Armorcoat 1C treatment in poorly ventilated areas and deep pits.
