PDF format
PENETRON®
Plus is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing and protection of concrete.
Penetron Plus is a special formulation designed specifically for a dry-shake application
on horizontal concrete surfaces where greater resistance to impact and abrasion
is required.
Packaged
in the form of a dry powder compound,
PENETRON®
Plus consists of Portland
cement, various active proprietary chemicals, and a synthetic aggregate hardener
that has been crushed and graded to particle sizes suitable for concrete floors.
PENETRON®
Plus becomes an integral
part of the concrete surface thereby eliminating problems normally associated
with coatings (e.g. scaling, dusting, flaking and delamination), The active chemicals
react with the moisture of the fresh concrete causing a catalytic reaction which
generates a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts
of the concrete.
RECOMMENDED
FOR:
Sewage and Water Treatment Plants
Traffic
Bearing Surfaces
Warehouse
Floors
Foundation
Slabs
Below-grade
Parking Structures
ADVANTAGES:
Resists

Permanent
Increases flexibility in the construction schedule |
PACKAGING:
PENETRON® Plus is packaged in 18 kg bags and 25 kg pails.
STORAGE:
PENETRON® products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 70C. Shelf
life is one year when stores under proper conditions.
COVERAGE:
Under normal conditions, the coverage rate for PENETRON® Plus is 0.5 kg. depending
on the degree of abrasion resistance required.
Note:
Under heavy traffic conditions or where even greater abrasion resistance is required,
consult a PENETRON® Technical Representative for a recommendation that meets
your specific needs.
APPLICATION
PROCEDURES:
1. Fresh concrete is placed, consolidated and leveled.
2. Wait until concrete can be walked on leaving an indentation of 6.5 mm
- 9.5 mm. Concrete should be free of bleed water and be able to support the weight
of a power trowel. Then, float open the surface.
3.
Immediately after floating open the surface, apply one-half of the dry shake
material by hand or mechanical spreader. The dry shake material must be spread
evenly.
4.
As soon as the dry shake material has absorbed moisture from the base slab,
it should be power floated to the surface.
|
|
5.
Immediately after power floating, apply remaining dry shake material at right
angles to the first application.
6.
Allow remaining dry shake material to absorb moisture from the base slab and
then power float the material into the surface.
7.
When concrete has hardened sufficiently, power trowel surface to the required
finish.
|
CURING:
Curing is important and should begin as soon as final set has
occurred but before surface starts to dry. Conventional moist curing procedures
such as water spray, wet burlap or plastic covers may be used. Curing should continue
for at least 48 hours. In hot, dry sunny conditions consult manufacturer for specific
instructions. In lieu of moist curing, concrete sealers and curing compounds meeting
ASTM C-309 may be used.
Note:
It is common that edges of a slab wall will set up earlier than the main body
of concrete. Such edge areas can be dry-shaked and finished with hand tools prior
to proceeding with application of main body of concrete.
For
the best results when applying dry shake materials, the air content of the concrete
should not exceed 3% (a high air content can make it difficult to achieve a proper
application). If a high entrained air content is specified (e.g. for concrete
that will be exposed to freezing and thawing), contact the Technical Department
of Penetron International Ltd. for further application information.
In
hot, dry, or windy conditions it is advisable to use an evaporation retardant
on the fresh concrete surface to prevent premature drying of the slab.
Chronic
moving cracks or joints will require a suitable flexible sealant.
For
certain concrete mix designs, we recommend a test panel be produced and evaluated
for finishing. For example, high performance concrete with a low water/cement
ratio, air entrainment, super plasticizers, or silica fume may reduce bleed water
and make the concrete more difficult to finish.

PENECRETE MORTAR:
Download in
PDF format
Penecrete
Mortar is a cementitious, ready-mixed waterproof repairing and sealing mortar.
It consists of Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and compound of
active chemicals, which resist water pressure. Applied in conjunction with PENETRON®.
The
active chemicals combine with the free lime and moisture present to form insoluble
crystalline complexes. These crystalline complexes, similar to a gel that grows
in the presence of water, block the capillaries of the
Penecrete
Mortar and minor shrinkage
cracks, thus preventing water ingress. Chemical activation begins when
Penecrete
Mortar powder is mixed
with water and may take several days to completely block the capillaries depending
on ambient temperature and environmental conditions.
RECOMMENDED

Installation of seal strips (reglets and coves) at
joints to assure water tightness
Patching of tie holes and faulty
construction joints.
Filling of routed out cracks
Waterproof sacking of concrete "bugholes"
Repairing of spalled and honeycombed areas
ADVANTAGES:

PENETRON ADMIX:
Download in
PDF format
PENETRON®
Admix is added
to the concrete mix at the time of batching.
PENETRON®
Admix consists of
Portland cement, very fine treated silica sand and various active, proprietary
chemicals. These active chemicals react with the moisture in fresh concrete and
the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction, which generates
a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts
of the concrete.
Thus the concrete becomes permanently sealed against
the penetration of water or liquids from any direction. The concrete is also protected
from deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Reservoirs
Sewage and Water Treatment Plants
Secondary Containment
Structures
Tunnels and Subway Systems
Underground
Vaults
Foundations
Parking Structures
Swimming Pools
Pre-Cast Components
ADVANTAGES:
Resists
extreme hydrostatic pressure from either positive or negative surface of the concrete
slab
Becomes an integral part of the substrate
Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals
Can seal hairline
cracks up to 0.4 mm
|
|
Allows concrete to breathe
Non-toxic
Less costly to apply
than most other methods
Permanent; Added to the concrete at
time of batching and therefore is not subject to climatic restraints
Increases flexibility in construction scheduling
|
TECHNICAL
PROPERTIES:
Setting Time: The setting time is affected by the chemical and physical
composition of ingredients, temperature of the concrete, and climatic conditions.
Retardation of set may occur when using PENETRON® Admix. The amount of retardation
will depend upon the concrete mix design and the dosage rate of the Admix. However,
under normal conditions, the Admix will provide a normal set concrete.
|
|
Dosage Rate PENETRON®
Admix: 0.8% of cement by weight
Shelf Life: 12 Months in unopened, undamaged bags
Packing:
40 lb. (18 kg) bags,
55 lb. (25 kg) pails. For large projects, customized packaging is available.
|
NOTE:
Under certain conditions, the dosage rate may be between 2-3% depending on
the quantity and type of total cementitious materials. Consult with PENETRON's
Technical Department for assistance in determining the appropriate dosage rate
and for further information regarding enhanced chemical resistance, optimum concrete
performance, or meeting the specific requirements and conditions of your project.
APPLICATION
PROCEDURES:
PENETRON® Admix must be added to the concrete at the time
of batching, The sequence of procedures for addition will vary according to the
type of batch plant operation and equipment:
1. Ready-Mix Plant Dry
Batch Operation: Add PENETRON® Admix in powder form to the drum of the
ready-mix truck. Drive the truck under the batch plant and add 60% - 70% of the
required water along with 300 - 500 lb. (136 - 227 kg) of aggregate. Mix the materials
for 2 - 3 minutes to ensure the Admix is distributed evenly throughout the mix
water. Add the balance of materials to the ready-mix truck in accordance with standard
batch practices.
2. Ready-Mix Plant Central Mix Operation: Mix
PENETRON® Admix with water to form a very thin slurry (e.g. 40 lb./18 kg of
powder mixed with 6 gallons/ 22.7 liters of water). Pour the required amount of
material into the drum of the ready-mix truck. The aggregate, cement and water
should be batched and mixed in the plant in accordance with standard practices
(taking into account the quantity of water that has already been placed in the
ready-mix truck). Pour the concrete into the truck and mix for at least 5 minutes
to ensure even distribution of the PENETRON® Admix throughout the concrete.
3. Precast Batch Plant: Add
Penetron Admix to the rock and sand, then mix thoroughly for 2 - 3 minutes before
adding the cement and water. The total concrete mass should be blended using standard
practices.
NOTE: It is important to obtain a homogeneous mixture
of PENETRON® Admix with the concrete. Therefore, do not add dry Admix powder
directly to wet concrete as this may cause clumping and thorough dispersion will
not occur.
NOTES:
Concrete
containing PENETRON® Admix may develop higher ultimate strengths than plain
concrete. Trial mixes should be carried out under project conditions to determine
setting time and strength of the concrete.
PENETRON®
products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 45ºF (7ºC).
When incorporating PENETRON® Admix, the temperature of the concrete mix should
be above 40ºF (4ºC).

hours later, flood surface with abundant water yet again.
6. After third
flooding, the treated area can be ponded to verify the waterproofing performance.
Coverage:
1 liter to 4-6 sq. meters (4 for rough and porous surfaces, 6 for very smooth,
dense surfaces and 5 for normal surfaces)
Cracks: additional
1 liter per 5 linear meters.
Equipment: This can range from simple
hand spraying equipment for small areas to motorized spray units for large projects.
With a simple backpack spray unit, a coverage of 100-150 sqm per hour can be achieved.
After application, all equipment should be thoroughly cleaned with water. Contact
your ICS/PENETRON INTERNATIONAL LTD. representative for details on spraying equipment.
NOTES:
Peneseal Pro should not be used as a replacement or a solution for
poor design, detailing or workmanship.
Peneseal Pro is not suitable
for repair of structural or design cracks. For cold joints, expansion joints,
penetrations and pour joints, products such as Penecrete? waterstops, & elastomeric
sealants should be applied in addition to Peneseal Pro. (See back page for details).
For floor hardening, use Penetron?Liquid Floor Hardener instead.
Penetron?, not Peneseal Pro should be used for negative side waterproofing.
Peneseal Pro can be used on concrete that contains fly ash, slag or silica
fume, unless these ingredients exceed 30% of the total cementitious materials
in the concrete mix. Before use, try on a small area or obtain concrete mix design.
To increase suitability, a calcium treatment may be applied to the surface. This
will also increase effectiveness on old and heavily carbonated concrete.
Large cracks should be ponded with Peneseal Pro by creating a small dam.
Avoid skin and eye contact. If contact is made, flush areas with lots of
water. Protective gloves should be worn. Breathing apparatus is advised if applied
in enclosed environments.
Do not spray Peneseal Pro onto glass, aluminum,
wood or painted surfaces. In case this happens, remove the product with water.
