PENETRON INJECT™ HEET DESCRIPTION PENETRON INJECT™ is an advanced two-component water cut-off injection grout with integral crystalline waterproong ability. It waterproofs concrete and rock by lling and sealing cracks and ssures and can be used to ll hollow spots and voids to bring stability and strength to repaired areas. The extremely ne particle size of its ingredients allows PENETRON INJECT™ to penetrate into micro-ne, hairline cracks in concrete or rock ssures and seal them. In addition to the water cut-off grout, the integral crystalline waterproong technology forms an insoluble structure to further aid in sealing these cracks, and ssures. In the case of concrete, the crystalline network not only seals the cracks but also the pores and micro-ne voids in the surrounding concrete, making the concrete itself waterproof. PENETRON INJECT™ has a very low, water-like viscosity which allows it to enter and follow extremely ne cracks and displace any water present under injection pressure. Through its water-cut off action and its unique chemistry, it provides corrosion protection for embedded steel and anchors. In concrete, it also aids in re-passivating areas around injection sites reducing corrosion and restoring a protective layer around reinforcing and other steel embeds. RECOMMENDED FOR Tunnels and subway systems Mines Foundations Water retaining structures Underground vaults Sewage and water treatment plants Channels Reservoirs Contains no organic or combustible solvents or other harmful ingredients (such as amines which can cause heavy skin irritation) unlike other organic-based injection materials. Easy to use and labor-cost effective. Only water is required for clean up. No solvents are needed for dilution and cleaning of equipment. Nontoxic Zero Voc - Penetron powdered products contain zero volatile organic content and are safe for use both outdoors and in confined indoor spaces Becomes an integral part of concrete, forming a complete body of strength and durability. Penetrates deeply due to its extremely low viscosity and micro-ne particle size. Has a very stable and low heat of reaction allowing for a controlled injection and ability to ll larger voids completely. Protects embedded steel (reinforcing steel, wire mesh and rock anchors) in areas around injection sites. Can be injected into moist or wet areas.

Add water to the bucket and mix. Remove 10% of this mixture and store for later re-addition. Slowly add PENETRON INJECT™ - PART A (POWDER) to the 90% mixture mixing continuously with a suitable mixing tool. Mix for at least 2 minutes until a smooth, homogeneous, lump free mix is achieved. Add the stored 10% mixture to the combined powder/liquid mix and continue to mix for an additional one minute. This completed mixture should have a viscosity of approximately 30 seconds in a DIN 4 mm cup. In cases where an extremely low viscosity mix is needed (e.g., to ll very ne cracks), additional water (an additional 0.5 L (0.5 quart) to a maximum of 1 L (1 quart)) can be added until a viscosity of 18 DIN-seconds is reached. Once this mix is poured into the funnel of the injection pump, it is ready to be injected. It is helpful to slightly agitate the mix from time to time (about each 10 to 15 minutes) in case all of the mix is not used immediately. Initiation of the curing reaction can be noted by an increase in the viscosity. To avoid solidication in the equipment, the remaining mix should be cleaned out of the funnel, pump and injection tubes.

Pot life times are based on a temperature of 20°C (68°F). In higher temperatures the pot life and workability will be reduced. In such cases more of PENETRON INJECT™ - PART B (LIQUID) can be added with a corresponding and equal reduction in mix water. Penetron International strongly recommends trial testing, should such changes from the standard instructions be necessary. have been stopped and the injection packers can be loosened and removed. Step 12: Dry pack all holes left by the injection packers with PENECRETE MORTAR™. Use a dowel to tightly compress PENECRETE MORTAR™ into the holes....
