Tanking Slurry Kit
Contains 20kg Tanking Slurry, 2* 1ltr SBR Bondong Agent, 1 * 60mm Mixing Paddle, 1 * 10mm Block Brush
All the kit you need to start waterproofing your basement
Construction Chemicals Tanking Slurry is the ideal waterproofing solution for cellar and basement conversions as well as bund walls. It is also suitable in providing a waterproof damp proofing barrier where damp proof course treatment may not be possible. The product is made up of many components, which give high water resistance, flexibility, salt resistance, good adhesion, set control in a form that only requires water for mixing.
Features
- Tried and tested over may years with no failures
- Tanking Slurry forms part of the original substrate
- High quality polymers give flexibility, salt resistance and good adhesion
- Unlike some products all the ingredients for this product to work are in the bag, the operator only requires water for mixing
- High alumina cement gives good salt resistance
Detailed Information
Detailed Information
Construction Chemicals Tanking Slurry is a sophisticated cementitious formulation designed for use in below and above ground waterproofing situations. The product is made up of many components, which give high water resistance, flexibility, good adhesion and set control in a form that only requires water for mixing.
High Water Resistance
This is achieved by using a highly hydrophobic dispersible polymer that reacts with the other components to give water resistance and flexibility. The grading of the powders in the slurry means that a very dense coating is produced. Particle sizes as low as 0.5 micron ensure that every potential air space is filled with an impervious
sphere of water and chemical resistant material.
Flexibility
The polymer used is flexible and to improve this performance special fibres are added which allow a much higher level of flexibility.
SALT RESISTANCE
The presence of salts in below ground situations can cause expansion when drying and lead to de-lamination. Two components contained within Tanking Slurry actually react with these soluble salts turning them into solids that do not exhibit efflorescent or hygroscopic effects. In areas where salts may be a problem use Construction Chemicals Anti-Salt on the substrate before applying Tanking slurry.
GOOD ADHESION
Adhesion comes from the polymer and the presence of special cements, which bind the slurry cohesively and give good adhesion to masonry.
SET CONTROL
This is achieved by using rapid setting cements together with set accelerators. This ensures that even in areas where there may be water movement the slurry sets quickly whilst allowing a reasonable period for application. Where running water is experienced however, CC water seal must be used to control water flow whilst the slurry is curing. Construction Chemicals Tanking Slurry is manufactured to have to a high level of performance in any situation where lateral or penetrating dampness is found. It has been carefully formulated to ensure that it is not affected by the problems normally associated with water movement.
USES
Tanking slurry is used as a waterproofing membrane, which may be applied by brush or spray. Where external ground level is above internal floor level it is usually necessary to provide a barrier to penetrating moisture in conjunction with an injected DPC. In such circumstances TANKING SLURRY may be applied directly onto the brickwork before DPC injection takes place. In cellars and other areas of high hydrostatic pressure and where there could be sulphate salts present, it is advisable to use a sulphate resistant (tight) backing coat before applying TANKING SLURRY.
Areas of use include the following:
CELLARS/BASEMENTS
TANKS AND DUCTS
UNDERGROUND CAR PARKS
SWIMMING POOLS
BUND WALLS
FOUNDATION SLABS
SILAGE PITS
PARTY WALLS
AS A VERTICAL DPC IN STONE WALLS OR WALLS OVER 250MM
FISH TANKS (BLACK SLURRY AVAILABLE)
LIFT SHAFTS
DESCRIPTION
Tanking slurry is a blend of Portland cements, quality graded aggregates and chemical modifiers, which provide a waterproof coating system. The standard product is supplied in grey; other colours can be made on request. It also contains an acrylic polymer to assist bonding therefore reducing the use of SBR directly into the slurry.
TANKING SLURRY IS NOT SULPHATE RESISTANT.
ADVANTAGES
Excellent adhesion: Special mix design produces stable adhesion to construction surfaces.
Durable protection: Waterproof coating has long life characteristics.
Water based: Safe to apply on damp surfaces.
Easy application: May be applied by brush or spray.
SPECIFICATION
Construction Chemicals Tanking Slurry should be used to form all coatings required for waterproofing purposes. The product must be stored, handled and applied strictly in accordance with the manufactures instructions.
APPLICATION/ PREPARATION
All contact surfaces must be clean and sound. Remove all loose materiel, laitence, dust and any previous coating. Tap off water pressure where necessary, insert a fillet at floor and wall joint (see technical data sheet). Repair any existing cracks and fractures with Construction Chemicals Rapid Cement.
SERVICES
Seal around all services and pipes with CONSTRUCTION CHEMICALS PRO-BOND 2000 MS POLYMER
PRIMING
Under normal applications no priming is required; however you should refer to the individual specification that may be provided by your Technical Representative. On dry surfaces the background should be dampened to assist the coating in fully wetting out.
MIXING
The water requirement to produce the coating is 7.5 to 8.5 litres of water per 25 kg of dry material. Pour the required quantity of water into suitable mixing vessel. Slowly add the powder to the water whilst continuously mixing. Mechanical mixing is recommended using a slow speed high torque drill with a plastering paddle. Mixing should be continued for three minutes after all the powder has been added to the mixing water to obtain a "creamy" consistency.
COATING
Construction Chemicals Tanking Slurry is applied in two coats (except above ground, see individual specification) the first coat in a horizontal direction down to fillet level. Apply second coat at right angles to the first as this will ensure complete coverage of the substrate. Second coat can be applied before the first is dry providing the first does not drag. In some cases a tight coat of render made up of 3:1 sand cement mix, using a sulphate resistant cement and SBR mixed at 2:1 with water as the gauging water may be required, refer to your individual specification or our technical department if you are unsure.
N.B.
Do not re-temper stiffened material. Tanking Slurry should not be applied in frost conditions or to frost filled surfaces or when temperature is 5 deg C and falling.
CURING
In warm or windy conditions mist spraying may be used to compensate for moisture loss. In tanking applications a through flow of air is required to prevent condensation. Tanking Slurry has an initial set time of 30 minutes and can be over coated after this time dependant on temperature and ventilation. Tanking slurry can be rendered after 24 hours when tanking is fully cured. Render coat should contain SBR to assist bonding and floor coatings should be screeded or sealed with an abrasion resistant coating such as Construction Chemicals levelling compound or Multi Use Water Based Epoxy Coating. Protect from frost, direct sunlight, and drying winds for 24 hours.
PRECAUTIONS
Health and Safety
Tanking Slurry is alkaline when mixed with water and should not come into contact with skin or eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust during mixing and wear safety glasses, dust mask and cloves. If skin contact occurs wash with clean water. Should eye contact occur rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. For full health and safety data refer to Product Safety Data Sheet.
FIRE
Tanking slurry is not a fire risk
COVERAGE
Water addition: 7.9 lt per 25kg unit.
The coverage will depend on the substrate surface.
Kair ventilation systems should be considered on cellar conversions due to the risk of condensation.
Coarse surface - 2kg to 3kg per square metre per coat
Smooth surface - 2kg to 2.5kg per square metre per coat
Initial set: 30 minutes
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
Tanking slurry will have a shelf life of six months in bags. Store in dry conditions at temperatures above 5deg C.
