WATERBOUND
STEELBOUND CRYSTALLINE
is a proprietary compound. It is a single component
Waterproofing system for concrete, brick masonry and
wall cement bound surfaces. when mixed with water base
component of STEELBOUND CRYSTALLINE sets hydraulically
STEELBOUND crystalline a waterproof system works on
the principles of water proofing by catallic crystallization
by osmosis and forms an integral part of the substrates
and the treatment penetrates concrete pores even against
hydrostatic pressure STEEBOUND crystalline reacts with
free lime particles and form insoluble crystals which
totally and permanently block the passage of water.
Further, it remains in the body of the concrete as a
CATALYST to reactivate the crystallization process whenever
water enters the structure through newly formed capillaries.
Fields
of Application
STEELBOUND CRYSTALLINE
provides Outstanding Waterproofing and damp proofing
* Concrete
Water tanks / Reservoirs
* Sunk Slabs
Water tanks / Reservoirs
* Basements
* Lift Pits
* Underground
level structures
* Swimming
pools, Dams
* To old
and new structures
* Terraces,
Terrace lawn
* Walls areas
etc, which are subject to efflorescence,
dimness, condensations etc.
* Brick surfaces,
surfaces which are exposed to acid, alkali, corrosive
environment etc.
Properties
Surfaces treated with STEELBOUND
CRYSTALLINE are
* Highly resistant to Corrosion
* Resistant to chlorine attack
* Becomes an integral part of the substrate
The result does not vary even if the coating punctures
therefore no need for a protection screed
* It is non toxic therefore
can be used in water tanks
* Hydrophobic coating
with deep penetration
Methods of Application
:-
A. SURFACE Preparation Damp and loose Plasters,
if any must be removed, All joints must be sound and
properly filled, In case of any cracks they should be
scaled with Repair bound polymer mortar. The surface
to be treated must be structurally sound it Clean the
base thoroughly by wire brush and remove the loose materials,
dust, grease, oil or other foreign particles.. Cracks
must be opened by means of cutter / manually. Clean
the surface then by water to remove all dust and saturate
the base by water and dampen the surface, remove the
excess water. Fill the crack / honey comb with Crack
Bound / or repair mortar composed of Repair Bound to
be filled directly to the sound grove / honey comb substrate.
B. MIXING Take a clean container to which Mix
4 part of STEELBOND CRYSTALLINE power with 2 part of
water by volume. Add or lessen the water quality to
obtain a slurry consistency at site.
C. APPLICATION The mix can be applied with a
trowels, brush or spray, application at temperature
above 5ºC, on frozen surface prior to coating and
remove the excess of water on the surface. The material
can also be scrubbed over the surface manually by gloved
hand.
Coverage :-
The consumption (Coverage)
Largely depends upon the application method, conditions,
the porosity, texture, type & General condition
of the surface; the estimated approximate 1.2 Kg/Sq.
mt.
Initial Setting Time 2 HRS. Final
Setting Time 12 HRS.
Test for bleeding at flow 21
cm :- Bleeding Water (0% by
weight)
Test for water tightness
:-
A Single coat of STEELBOUND CRYSTALLINE on concrete
after 28 Days under water pressure of 200 KG/KM.SQ.or Equivalents
to 20 M. Water head showed no water penetration
inn concrete.
Packaging :- 30
kg
Shelf Life and Storage
:- To be stored in original packed containers
/ bags, protected from direct sunlight and frost. STEELBOUND
CRYSTALLINE is non toxic and non Flammable. Shelf life
1 year when stored under proper conditions.
Environmental And Safety
Precautions :- STEELBOUND CRYSTALLINE contains
powder. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid direct contact with
eyes or skin, in case of eye contact splash water and
immediately contact nearest physician.
