DESCRIPTION
A high grade easy to handle integral waterproofing admixture for both waterproofing and concrete corrosion protection using unique nanotechnology to chemically modify the cement matrix by reacting with the cement paste to reduce pore & capillary size. The reaction between NANOPROOF and cement paste produces a non-soluble crystalline structure throughout the pores & capillaries permanently sealing the concrete.
Method
The substrate should be clean and sound, free of dust, loose particles, grease, oil, primers from previous membrane systems or bitumen. The substrate must be prepared by suitable mechanical preparation techniques such as high pressure water jetting, wet sandblasting, wire brushing etc. and properly pre-wetted to a saturated surface dry condition. Spalled concrete should be repaired by cutting out to sound concrete. Cracks, holes and honeycombs must be repaired and patched with E.M.SuperRepair prior to application.
Properties
- Penetrates deeply and seals concrete’s capillary tracts and shrinkage cracks.
- Becomes an integral part of the concrete.
- Completely effective against high hydrostatic pressure.
- Protects from waterborne corrosive agents.
- Protects concrete and steel rebar from deterioration.
- Seals minor shrinkage and hairline cracks.
- Allows the passage of water vapor from the inside of the structure (the concrete breathes).
- Easy to apply.
- Approved for use in contact with potable water.
Application
FIELD OF APPLICATION
- Construction joints .
- Sewage and waste water treatment tanks .
- Structures below the groundwater level and subject to water penetration.
- Tunnels.
- Foundations.
- Concrete pipes.
- Swimming pools.
- Aquariums.

APPLICATION
NANOPROOF should be applied in 2 flood coats (wet on wet) at an application rate of 0.4-0.5 liters/m2 per coat. It may be applied by roller, brush or portable knapsack spray. Application should be done first to the wall and then to the floors.
