    • Preparation
      • Substrate requirements

         

        Subsequent horizontal waterproofing of masonry

        Drilling channel must be free of drill dust.

        Priming for protection against the effect of water from behind

        The substrate must be clean and free of oil, grease and release agents.

        Surface improvement

        The substrate must be clean and free of oil, grease and release agents.

      • Preparations

        Subsequent horizontal waterproofing of masonry

        Dam the injection area at least 30 cm above and below the row of boreholes (Kiesol MR 1:1 and rigid waterproofing slurry).

        Production of boreholes:

        Diameter 12 - 30 mm, spacing 10 - 12.5 cm, angle of inclination approx. 45°, borehole depth up to approx. 5 cm from end of wall.

        For walls > 0.6 m thick, it is recommended to make the series of drill holes on both sides.

        Pre-inject BSP 3 or BSP 6 (borehole suspension) into hollow masonry.

        Re-pierce filled boreholes after incipient hardening of the BSP.

        Wait 7 days before carrying out further work.

    • Application
      • Application temperature: min. 5 °C max. 35 °C
      • By brush/ Bore hole saturation / Pressure injection / Low pressure spraying
      • Application requirements

        Temperature of the material, air and substrate: from min. +5 °C to max. +35 °C

      • Subsequent horizontal waterproofing of masonry

        - Under gravity (moisture penetration < 80%):

        Using a suitable vessel, e.g. Kiesol Metering Cartridge (417301), fill (multiple times if necessary) until saturated.

        - Low pressure (moisture penetration < 95%):

        Inject using suitable injection equipment and injection packers.

         

        Priming for protection against the effect of water from behind

        Apply material in sections until saturated.

        If necessary: pre-wet highly absorbent substrates with water.

         

        Surface improvement

        Apply material in sections.

        Repeat the procedure (wet-on-wet) until no more material uptake is observed.

    • Application instructions
      • Take appropriate measures to protect adjacent building elements and materials that should not come into contact with the product.

         

        Subsequent horizontal waterproofing of masonry

        After injection, fill the boreholes with borehole suspension.

        Not suitable for injections in porous concrete, gypsum and clay building materials.

         

        Priming for protection against the effect of water from behind

        Immediately remove excess product.

        Do not allow the primer to dry out.

        Perform subsequent operations wet-on-wet, within the reaction time.

         

        Surface improvement

        Protect freshly treated surfaces from driving rain, wind, sunlight and condensation.

        Not suitable for improving surfaces where higher requirements are placed on appearance.

        We recommend setting up trial areas.

    • Working tools / cleaning
      • By brush/ Bore hole saturation / Pressure injection / Low pressure spraying
      • Brush, surface sprayer, airless spraying equipment, pouring vessel, low-pressure injection apparatus
        Additional equipment according to tool programme

      • Clean tools immediately after use with water.

        Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

    • Storage / shelf life
      • Store frost-free and cool / protect for moisture / close containers
      • At least 36 months in unopened, original containers stored cool, dry and protected from frost.

    • Usage
      • Depending on the application / m²
      • Subsequent horizontal waterproofing:
        Approx. 1.5 kg/m per 10 cm wall thickness (can vary significantly depending on porosity of masonry)
        Priming:
        Approx. 0.1 - 0.3 kg/m² (dilute 1:1 with water)
        Surface improvement:
        Approx. 0.2 - 0.4 kg/m²

    • General information
      • The relevant test certificates must be observed when planning and carrying out work.

        The applicable regulations and legal requirements must be observed.

        Information on planning injection processes with and processing certified injection materials against capillary moisture transport can be found in WTA Code of Practice 4-10 and must be taken into account.
