2 Total Concrete Repair Concrete repair isn t just patching voids & plugging waterleaks Concrete deteriorates over time as it is exposed to the elements, freeze/thaw cycles, submerged or in contact with water and subjected to abrasion and other factors. An entire industry is focused strictly on the repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures, flooding today s market with inexpensive bags of repair mortars. With each product claiming to be the best, how do you find the optimum solution for your restoration project? The answer is simple it s not just a bag, it s a systems approach! Concrete repair is more than just patching voids and plugging waterleaks. When dealing with structural and mission critical restoration, repairs are best achieved by selecting products and systems which address the source of the deterioration and all contributing factors. One very important factor to consider when tackling restoration work is waterproofing. In order to effectively rehabilitate concrete that has been compromised due to water exposure, it is essential to carry out proper waterproofing along with patching and repair work. Using products such as fully waterproof mortars or structural repair mortars in conjuction with injection grouts and coating systems, restoration specialists can effectively repair and protect any concrete structure. AQUAFIN Inc. has been in the waterproofing and concrete repair market for over 20 years and offers an advanced full systems approach to concrete repair and restoration.

3 1Water Management The AQUAFIN Systems Approach Waterproofing isn t just coatings and membranes. When damage to concrete occurs due to water infiltration it is important to identify the source of the leak and treat it so that it will not cause future damage. Depending on the type and scope of leak there are different systems that can be used to stop it. Our specialized injection grouts are one part of a systems approach to waterproofing that provides an efficient method for stopping active water. AQUAFIN -PM3811 Acrylate injection gel for curtain grouting and stopping active water leaks in cracks. The unique acrylate gel formula allows users to control set-times which ensures effective sealing. Can be injected against water pressure Excellent penetration into various substrates & soil AQUAFIN -RAPIDFLEX-213 Non-foaming polyurethane grout with superior bonding characteristics to wet and dry surfaces. For injection of cracks with high waterflow in concrete, stone, etc. Significantly higher tensile and adhesion strengths vs traditional foaming polyurethanes Patching compounds and hydraulic cements can quickly dry a susbtrate or fill small voids such as formtie holes prior to applying deeper patching materials or surface coatings. FIX-10S Ultra fast setting hydraulic cement stops active water leaks in less than 30 seconds. Easy application - no mixing needed in most cases, just rub onto the wet surface Seals leaky joints, cracks, formtie holes & dries out wet areas PLUG-IC Fast-setting (2-3 mins.) crystalline cementitious waterstop and patching mortar. Water stopper and structural repair mortar Plugging/stopping water leaks NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certified for contact with potable water

4 2STRUCTURAL Larger Repairs When larger repairs are required, it is just as important to use high quality repair products specifically engineered to the applications. High early strengths and the ability to fill deeper repairs without the addition of aggregates help speed jobs and ensure solid patches, while waterproofing capabilities ensure superior protection against future water ingress. MORTAR-40 One component, polymer modified, shrinkage compensated, high early strength, patching mortar that can be troweled or sprayed for structural or cosmetic repairs of concrete and masonry. Unique formulation allows layering of up to 1½ (40 mm) per lift vertically and up to 4 (100 mm) horizontally without sagging or slumping. NSF/ANSI 61 certified for contact with potable water WATERPROOF MORTAR-IC Fast setting, crystalline enhanced waterproof sealing mortar. Waterproof sacking of concrete bugholes, installation of seal strips (reglets and coves) at joints to assure water tightness and patching of tie holes. NSF/ANSI 61 certified for contact with potable water MORTAR-CA Waterproof & corrosion resistant repair and lining mortar. Specifically formulated for rehabilitation in sewer manholes, sewage treatment tanks, sewer lift stations and large diameter trunk lines. Calcium aluminate formula for severe H 2 S corrosive environments Guaranteed waterproof at a min. 3 8 (6 mm) thickness, resists positive and negative side hydrostatic pressure Trowel or spray application MORTAR-LN Universal waterproofing, repairing & lining mortar. Guaranteed waterproof at a min. ¼ (6 mm) thickness, resists positive and negative side hydrostatic pressure Up to 1 per lift, deeper repairs in multiple lifts NSF/ANSI 61 certified for contact with potable water

5 3Surface Protection resistance and prevent water penetration for many years. After concrete has been repaired, it is just as important to protect it and extend the service life by coating the structure especially when the restoration resulted from water damage. Water always follows the path of least resistance and when one hole is patched, it will travel to find another. By applying a coating over the entire surface it is possible to extend surface life, increase abrasion AQUAFIN offers a wide variety of effective, efficient cementitious coating systems which offer superior protection and durability. AQUAFIN-1K Easy to use, 1-comp., cementitious waterproof coating system that resists strong negative and positive side hydrostatic pressure. Waterproof coating and bughole filler/scratch coat for sacking concrete surfaces. NSF/ANSI 61 certified for contact with potable water. AQUAFIN-2K/M Highly flexible, 2-comp., cementitious protective and waterproof coating, resistant to pedestrian traffic. Excellent on balconies, plaza decks, pool decks, etc. With crack-bridging capabilities of up to 1 16 this is a great product for above grade applications. Can be pigmented or painted DECORFLEX When decorative finishes are desired, this is the coating system to rely on. The DECORFLEX System has all the waterproofing capabilities of our 2K/M, while offering unlimited looks, resistant to pedestrian and car traffic. Mimic traditional finishes using trowels, stencils, engraving and faux finishing techniques.
