A PP L I CAT I O N I N STR U CT I O N SApplication instructions for the use of the PENETRON INTEGRAL CAPILLARY WATERPROOFING SYSTEM.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Surface PreparationThe concrete or concrete block surface to receive the PENETRON system must be structurally sound and should be free from dirt, soil, oil, form release agents, laitance and any other foreign materials, which may impair the bond, penetration and or overall performance of the PENETRON materials.

Extremely smooth concrete surfaces must be waterblasted, sandblasted or acid etched. Concrete surfaces should have an open capillary system.

Form ties with insets will be removed and where form ties are without insets, the concrete will be chipped back approximately one (1) inch. Rout out visible cracks exceeding 0.001(0.00254 cm) in size to a depth of (1.9 cm) to 1 (2.54 cm). also rout out honeycombed pockets and faulty construction joints to sound concrete. Construction joints are routed or provided with a formed (1.9 cm) X (1.9 cm) reglet.

Wet down surface lightly prior to the application of the PENETRON system. Moisture must be present in the concrete strata to assure maximum chemical penetration. Surfaces should be damp when the PENETRON coatings are applied. The surface to be treated should never have a shiny appearance.

HOW TO MIX

PENETRON:

Brush Application: 1.5 lbs./y.(0.7kg/m) 5 parts PENETRON to 2 parts water.

2.0 lbs./y.(0.9kg/m) 3 parts PENETRON to 1 part water.

Spray Application: 1.5 lbs./y. (0.7kg/m) 5 parts PENETRON: (2 to 3 ) parts water.

Varies with climate and spray equipment.


PENETRON should be mixed to the consistency of thick latex paint. Stir the slurry mixture frequently during the application and prepare only as much as can be applied within a 30 minute period.

PENECRETE: Add water to PENECRETE powder, until a medium stiff consistency is obtained. Prepare only as much PENECRETE MORTAR as can be applied within a 35 minute period.

PENEPLUG: Pour a handful and mix a small container (bowl/pail) (gloves must be worn). Add just enough water (drops) to form a mix that is (drypack/dry earth) consistency.

PENETRON APPLICATION

Apply PENETRON coating by masonry type brush (articial bers, if available).

For spray applications, drop hopper or piston pump type equipment is recommended.

Prior to application of PENETRON coatings, ll form tie holes, routed out cracks, honeycombed pockets, reglets and seal strips at construction joints with PENECRETE MORTAR in laminating layers of 1 (2.54 cm) to 1 (3.17 cm). Prime concrete surfaces of these areas with one slurry coat of PENETRON prior to applying PENECRETE MORTAR.

PENETRON slurry must be applied to damp concrete and concrete block surfaces only in specied quantities. For horizontal concrete surfaces apply PENETRON slurry in one (1) coat with stiff bristle brush/broom or squeegee.Dry sprinkle PENETRON or PENETRON PLUS on still plastic concrete by broadcasting or use of a ne mesh sieve. In quantities that are specied. Work PENETRON powdered slab surface with wood oat or power trowel until required nish has been achieved. For working (Mud) slab applications contact PENETRON representative.

PENECRETE APPLICATION

Mix PENECRETE MORTAR by hand or paddle mixer to a stiff mortar consistency. Apply by brush, the bonding coat of

PENETRON slurry. Apply PENECRETE MORTAR while PENETRON

coating is still green

. Depths of PENECRETE

MORTART application should not exceed 1 (3.17 cm). Time elapsed between bonding coat and PENECRETE

MORTAR should not exceed 6 hours.

PENEPLUG APPLICATION

After following mixing procedure, quickly form into a wedge and force it into the leak. Apply as much pressure as possible

by standing on and or tapping hard with a wedge of wood & hammer. After leak has stopped, ll void to surface with

PENECRETE MORTAR. Finish with one coat of PENETRON

slurry.

COVERAGE

Application for horizontal concrete surfaces: PENETRON at 2.0 lbs. (0.9kg) to 2.5 lbs. (1.13kg) per sq. yd. Applied in one (1)

slurry coat. PENETRON powder application (DRY SHAKE) at a rate of 1.4 to 1.6 kg. per square meter(2.5-3.0lb/y) when

concrete reaches initial set. Trowel or oat to specied nish. PENETRON PLUS powder application (DRY SHAKE) at 1.0

lbs. per square yard (0.5 kg. per square meter). When concrete reaches initial set, trowel or oat to specied nish.

1. Fresh concrete is placed, consolidated and leveled.

2. Wait until concrete can be walked on leaving an indentation of to 3/8, then oat open surface. Concrete should

be free of bleed water and be able to support the weight of a man and power trowel before power oating.

3. Immediately after oating open the surface, apply the DRY SHAKE material at specied rates by hand or mechanical

spreader. Material must be spread evenly. As soon as DRY SHAKE material has absorbed moisture from base slab, it

should be power oated into the surface.

4. When concrete has hardened sufciently, power trowel surface to desired nish.

PENETRON PLUS: Suggested application is 0.5 kg per square meter.

PENETRON: Suggested application is 1.4 to 1.6 kg per square meter.

CURING

Vertical surfaces: Except for extremely hot weather and very low humidity, curing of the PENETRON system is not required.

Horizontal surfaces: PENETRON applied as a coating in slurry form. Wet area down once approximately 24 hours after time

of application.

PENETRON PLUS (trowel applied): Follow concrete specications for curing procedures.

A PP L I CAT I O N I N STR U CT I O N SNEUTRALIZATION

A. Treated surfaces to receive paints or other protective coating should be neutralized with a vinegar water solution or a

muriatic acid/water solution (1 to 10). Rinse all treated surfaces thoroughly with water.

B. For application on cisterns and drinking water reservoirs, follow EPA requirements. Special tanks, aquariums, and

industrial or processing installations, please contact PENETRON representative.

TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENT

The PENETRON system can be applied in coating or in mortar form when the temperature is above 32 degrees

Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Centigrade.

PENETRON PLUS (trowel applied) can be applied in temperatures where concrete can be placed. Follow concrete

specications for protection requirements according to standard concrete procedures.

CAUTION

Use rubber gloves during mixing and application. Use goggles during spraying and overhead applications. The effect of

PENETRON on the skin can be neutralized with a vinegar (household strength) and water solution.

PENETRON PRODUCTS ARE NON TOXIC.
