ULTRAFIX PU996 PU INJECTION WATERPROOFING PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Waterproofing Systems ultrafix PU996 is a single part, Poly Urethane resin with a higher content of oleophilic epoxy propane. It foams when it comes into contact with water and is hydrophobic, so can last for a long time in structural cracks without being dissolved by water. PERFORMANCE ultrafix PU996 is applied by injection as a Brown liquid at a viscosity of 1000cps. After PU996 is injected into the walls, upon contact with water, ultrafix PU996 will convert to a Foam and expand to a ratio of about 30 times its injected volume, filling voids and stemming the water flow behind the wall or floor. CHARACTERISTICS WPS ultrafix performance is as follows: - PU996 is very low in viscosity, which will not result in congestion due to increased tube viscosity. - Easy to apply. - Superior work performance - Foaming to be finished within 5-10 minutes after reacting with water and will fully harden in 2-3 hours. - PU996 will NOT shrink, avoiding further leakage. - Foaming ratio is up to 30 times the injected volume, saving extra usage in material. - The single component system will allow for easy clean up of tools and will not cure in the lines or in the machine. - The left-over PU996 can be stored in a sealed tin and remaining product can be used on the next project, eliminating wastage. PACKAGE ultrafix PU996 is supplied as a one-component in 5 Gallon steel tins.

SYSTEM OF WPS ULTRAFIX SYSTEM LOCATE CRACKS OR LEAKS First, you need to be able to locate the leaks and where the water is entering the structure. The surrounding internal area needs to be dry and you may have to pump out excess water to be able to attend the immediate leak area. DRILL INJECTION POINTS Drill holes about 5cm-10cm away from the lowest position on the left or right of the crack with an inclination of up to 45deg. An 8mm nipple will be 80mm deep and 13mm nipple will be 90mm deep. Then drill continuously upward with a distance of 20cm-30cm and lay injection needles when reaching the highest position. WATER PRIME AREA If the area to be injected is dry at the time of repair, you will need to pump in water using a small pump or grease gun for the ultrafix PU996 to react with once it has been injected into the crack. The water will react with the PU996, creating expansion in the cavity behind the wall or floor. INSERT INJECTION NIPPLES Insert the injection nipples into the holes. There are two sizes of nipples (8 & 13mm) that will allow for different repair sizes. Carefully tighten the nipples so they are unable to move once the ultrafix PU996 has been injected and is starting to foam behind the wall or floor. PUMP IN INJECTION FLUID Using the ultrafix high-pressure pump machine, inject the PU996 water-reactive foam upward until the foam appears on the surface of the structure. Once the foam has reached the surface and the next injection point, start injecting at the next nipple. SEAL OFF INJECTION POINTS Once all injection areas have been completed, break off the injection nipples and seal off with a cementitious mix. TEST Before covering walls or painting, allow sufficient time to test the repaired area to ensure no further leaks occur. It is common for water levels to rise behind the repaired areas and create new leakage through the structure at higher levels. This indicates that the waterproofing repair has been sufficient and the water level has risen above the repair. It is often common to continue with the process until all water leakage has been stemmed from entering the structure.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS ULTRAFIX PU996 HYDROPHOBIC WATER-REACTIVE FOAM PU-996 is A single component PU resin with higher lipophilic propylene oxide, which reacts with water to start foaming & hydrophobic. After PU-996 is injected into walls, it reacts with water with rapid expansion to plug the crack. By pump pressure, PU-996 is squeezed into crack to stop seepage/leakage. ULTRAJECT HIGH PRESSURE INJECTION MACHINE The WPS ultraject high-pressure injection machine has been designed for its simplicity and problematic-free running for many hours of running with minimal maintenance required. The ultraject injection machine comprises of electric drill, gearbox, filler bottle, pressure gauge and high pressure hose and fittings. INJECTION NOZZLES ultraject injection nozzles are supplied in 8mm and 13mm sizes and are designed for use in all situations needed to inject ultrafix PU996 into the concrete structure. Once used, simply screw out the connection piece and fill the nozzle hole with ultraplug plugging compound. ULTRAPLUG WPS ultraplug is a cemetitious high-strength plugging compound that is specifically designed to plug the ends of the injection nipples once the pressure hoses have been removed and the injection process has been completed.

SURFACE PREPARATION Surfaces must be prepared thoroughly before commencing application. All substrates must be structurally sound, stable, dry, and clean, with substrate compressive strength a minimum 25MPa and cohesive strength a minimum 1.5MPa. Smooth shiny surfaces to be roughened or etched. Rough surfaces are to be evened or filled first (refer to WPS 11Y). Building surfaces must be constructed to manufacturer s recommendations and relevant building standards in force at time of membrane application. All surfaces are to be free of sharp protruding surfaces, loose material, de-bonded coatings, curing membranes/agents, release agents, wax residues, foreign particles, laitance, algae and moss, grime, oils, animal fats or grease remains. Structurally unsound layers and surface contaminants are to be mechanically removed by abrasive blasting, blast tracking, grinding or equivalent methods. For thorough surface preparation, refer to SC (algae and moss remover) and DG (water based oil degreaser) products. PRIMING C-1P must be applied onto a pre-dampened or primed surface: On porous concrete, masonry and mineral surfaces, if pre-wetting down, ensure there is no ponding or surface water before membrane application. Surfaces can be damp but must not have free water present when applying membrane. WPS GP primer for positive side sealing applications over general porous vertical and horizontal building surfaces. Brush or roller apply primer to total surface area at a minimum coverage of 1 litre per 6m2 and allow drying for 30 minutes or once wet film dries to a clear transparent coating.
Gripset OP primer for non porous, smooth and dense surfaces. Brush or roller apply primer to total surface area at a minimum coverage of 1 litre per 12m2 and allow to dry for 1 hour. WPS 11Y slurry for positive side sealing in immersed, and subterranean applications, over asphalt/bitumen surfaces and existing coatings. Mix WPS 11Y in equal volumes to the following ratios: 1 part WPS 11Y + 1 part Portland cement + 1 part fine wash sand, mix to form homogenous slurry. Brush apply to substrate at coverage of 1 litre per 3m2. Membrane is to be applied over primer slurry while primer is in a damp/wet state, i.e. wet on wet application Gripset P10 primer for surfaces with residual or rising damp. Apply by brush or roller in 2 coats at a minimum coverage of 1 litre per 3m2; ensuring subsequent coat is applied in opposite direction to the first coat. Allow to dry for a minimum 24 hours before applying membrane. Primer must be tack free before applying membrane. Note: Refer to data sheets for above primers before using DETAILING All critical areas such as joints, junctions, movement zones, penetrations and drainage points are to be correctly sealed and detailed prior to membrane application. Voids, gaps and undulating surfaces: Filled and evened with WPS 11Y repair mortar compound. Cracks up to 1mm: Filled with WPS SB, followed by WPS RF reinforcement Cracks >1mm: Elastoproof Joint Band Bond Breaker: Elastoproof Joint Band to wall/floor junctions and wall/wall junctions. Movement or Expansion Joints: Elastoproof Joint Band Penetrations, Pipes, Drain outlets: Elastoproof Collars MEMBRANE APPLICATION Mixing 1. C-1P consists of a 15kg bag dry powder. Membrane is formed by mixing 2.7-3.3 litres of water to 15kg of powder. 2. Add 2/3 of the required water into a clean pail/drum. Slowly add the dry powder component to the water and mix using an electric stirrer with paddle attachment, ensuring the mixing of components is continuous while the powder is added. Continue mixing to form a lump free consistency. Then slowly add the 1/3 balance of water to the mixture until it is evenly dispersed and a homogenous consistency is formed. 3. Allow the mix to settle for 2-3 minutes then lightly re-stir before use. Pot life once mixed is 45-60 minutes; however this may be reduced in warmer weather. General The application of C-1P is at a minimum of 2 coats. Product can be applied by trowel, roller (low texture or medium-high nap), brush (slurry masonry brush) or spray unit. For general waterproofing applications a minimum 1.5mm dried film thickness is required, 1litre/1.5kg/m2 per mm layer thickness For immersed applications - a minimum 2mm dried film thickness is required, 1litre/1.5kg/m2 per mm layer thickness For preventing ingress of water under pressure - a minimum 2.5mm dried film thickness is required, 1litre/1.5kg/m2 per mm layer thickness. GENERAL Apply subsequent coats at different directions to the previous coat. Coverage is dependent upon surface condition and will vary accordingly as uneven and porous surfaces will require greater coverage to achieve the specified film thickness. Installing Elastoproof Bond breaker Joint Band: Measure and cut Elastoproof Joint Band for all wall/floor junction areas. Apply first coat of C-1P membrane to approximately 150mm extending up walls and on to floors, and embed Elastoproof Joint Band into wet bed of liquid membrane, ensuring fabric edges are fully wet out and no air bubbles exist behind the fabric. Rear rubber section of Elastoproof Joint Band is not bonded to substrates. At sections where Joint Band is to be joined, a minimum 50mm overlap is required. Elastoproof Prefabricated Corners are available for both internal (90 o ) and external (270 o ) junctions, enabling Joint Band to overlap and avoid joint at critical areas. If Pre-fabricated corners are not used, Elastoproof Joint Band is to have bottom leg cut and folded; ensuring fabric is completely bonded with C-1P membrane. For floor pipes protruding floors, Elastoproof Collars are to be fitted over the neck of the pipe, embedding fabric edges into wet bed of C-1P membrane. For floor wastes that are finished level with the floor, Elastoproof Inverted Collars are to be fitted or alternatively the C-1P membrane with RF Fabric embedded is to be dressed down into the waste outlet at a minimum 50mm. Once Elastoproof Joint Band is in place, apply C-1P membrane to floor and wall areas as required. A continuous seamless membrane should be the final finish to the total area upon completion of the waterproofing membrane application.
TILING AND SURFACE TOPPING It is recommended when tiling directly over C-1P in internal and external floor areas, that C-Flex, C-Bond or C- Set tile adhesives be used. In immersed areas tile directly over C-1P with WPS approved tile adhesive. If applying a screed, render or concrete topping over WPS C-1P it is recommended to incorporate Gripset 11Y as a proprietary bonding agent and water resistant additive.
