TEC WAVE 7000
TEC WAVE 7000
CRYSTALLIZATION TYPE COATING
KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES
- A unique chemical formulation for waterproofing and protection of concrete that penetrates concrete pores and forms insoluble crystals blocking off water entry.
- In the presence of water, TecR Wave 7000 continues producing crystals in concrete capillaries ensuring long term success of waterproofing applications.
- Overcomes the characteristic disadvantage of membrane coatings that may tear or puncture on application of brick mortars or steel.
- Both negative and positive side applications possible.
- Capable of bridging hair line cracks upto 0.25mm width.
- Becomes an integral part of the concrete ensuring long term protection.
USAGE
- Ideal Waterproofing system for water retaining structures like Over head tanks, swimming pools, reservoirs and under ground sumps.
- Most suited waterproofing system for Water treatment and sewage treatment plants.
- Can be applied on a variety of substrates like concrete, masonry, heat pressed tiles and asbestos.
- Ideal for waterproofing of sloped roof, dome roofs, shell roofs, and fold Ideal for waterproofing of Flat and Sloped roofs and sunshades.
- Ideal waterproofing system for negative side waterproofing in basement floors.ed plate roofs.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation
The surface should be sound, free from dirt, oils and greases. Water jetting is the best surface preparation method for TecR Wave 7000 application, since this will ensure that the surface to be treated is free of laitance and other contaminants. Further this will also ensure that the surface is completely water saturated and damp prior to application of TecR Wave 7000. New concrete surfaces should be cleaned with acid to remove release oil residues. Further thorough water washing should be carried out to neutralize the acid used. Initiation of crystallization process in TecR Wave 7000 requires the presence of moisture. In all cases therefore the surface set to receive TecR Wave 7000 should be puddle free damp. Cold joints and cracks exceeding 0.25mm width should be cut to form a neat groove and then filled with a mortar prepared using TecR Wave 7000 and just enough water to obtain a sag free mortar.
Mixing
TecR Wave 7000 is a single component system- only clean water need be added for mixing. Add three parts TecR Wave 7000 to one part clean water and mix thoroughly until a uniform mix of brushable consistency is achieved. Only mix enough material that can be applied well within the pot life. Mixing should continue while applying. Do not re-temper with water if mix thickens.
Application
The surface to be treated should be saturated with water and excess water removed before application of TecR Wave 7000. The mix must then be applied on the prepared concrete surface with a stiff bristled brush ensuring uniform spread and avoiding puddles. Subsequent coats can be applied after the previous coat is surface dry.
Avoid application at temperatures above 40°C or below 10°C.
At temperatures around 30°C the drying time would be 4-6 hours.
Post Application
Curing is vital for optimum performance of Tec Wave 7000- Crystallization type waterproofing system. Curing should commence 24 hours after application and should continue for a minimum period of 7 days. For maximum crystallization to take place the applied coating should be kept continuously moist for a minimum period of 48 hours. And water storage should be permitted only after 7 days of air curing. The crystallization process will continue after storage of water and it may take 2-3 weeks for for the system to reach peak performance.
