POLYMERIC MODIFIED ACRYLIC COATING FOR WATER PROOFING & REPAIRING OF STRUCTURE
DESCRIPTION
 
TUFFCRETE- MAB is an acrylic based polymer for structural repairs of concrete/mortar and waterproofing system.
 
USES
 
This polymer modified system is effectively useful for,
• Give additional strength to damaged R.C.C. structure.
• Repairs of concrete structures. Brick-masonry and mortar works.
• Waterproofing treatment of water tank, swimming pools etc.
• Roof slab, parapets, terraces, basement & Retaining walls.
• Against corrosions salt attack.
• Injection grouting.
 
ADVANTAGES
 
• Gives complete adhesion with old-new structures of concrete & mortar.
• Flexural & tensile strength increased with anti corrosion property.
• Reduces water-cement ratio, which results in to a impermeable concret.

DIRECTION FOR USE
 
The area to be coated must be clean and free from oil, Grease & other contaminates. Remove loose materials by scraping, chipping, mechanical abrasion or any other suitable method. Clean surface with water.
  • Bond Coat: Take 1 part TUFFCRETE-MAB by wt. & 1 part cement. Mix it in one vessel& apply by brush on cleaned, pre wetted surface. Allow it to dry for 1 2 hrs.
  • Modified Mortar : Take 50 kg cement bag, 125 kg medium sand, 7.5 kg TUFFCRETE-MAB & water 8 to 10 kg as required. Apply this material over tacky bond coat.
  • Waterproofing Slurry : Take 1 part TUFFCRETE-MAB by wt. & 2 part fresh cement with continuous mixing. Add powder in to liquid part never add liquid in to the cement. Apply this slurry on the cleaned, pre wetted surface in 2 coats at the interval of at least 3 4 hrs between each coat.
  • Injection grouting : Make "V" groove in the cracks & fix up the nozzle at the interval of 0.5 to 2 m.m. along the groove. Take 1 part TUFFCRETE-MAB + 5 part cement & add water to become injectable slurry for injection as per regular practice.
 
CURING
 
After 24 hours of final coat, Sprinkle the water or cover wet cloth for next 3 days. Continuous wet curing or ponding is not required.
