Properties:
- Penetrates the capillaries in concrete.
- Continually active.
- Can be applied to damp substrates.
- Chloride free.
- Resists high levels of hydrostatic pressure.
- Carbonatisation barrier.
- Waterproofs retrospective cracks up to 0.4 mm.
- Test certificates to German DVGW worksheets W 347 and W 270 are available.
Areas of Application:
- Exterior and interior waterproofing in cellars, lift shafts, foundations, retaining walls.
- Waterproofing containers for drinking and service water, retaining basins, water treatment plants, garages, tunnels etc.
- Waterproofing beneath screeds (unbonded screeds or floating screeds).
An analysis of the water is necessary where the hardness degree is < 3° dH. AQUAFINAC is resistant against strong chemical attack (exposure class XA2 to DIN 4030).
Storage:
12 months when stored dry and frost free in the original unopened packaging. Use opened packaging promptly.

Product Details
Dry shake application
AQUAFIN-IC must be broadcast at the coverage rate appropriate for the expected water exposure (see under Material consumption’ on to freshly poured concrete. For large areas it is recommended that the floor be marked into bays with known area. Sufficient AQUAFIN-IC should then be laid out to meet the recommended spread rate. Once the concrete has started initial setting (light foot traffic imprint of 3-5 mm) apply AQUAFIN-IC immediately. When AQUAFINIC absorbs the concrete moisture entirely and a uniform darkening of colour takes place, start trowelling of the surface (helicopter smoothening).
Application By Brush
Spread two coats of AQUAFIN-IC at the required quantity in a slurry consistency with a roofer ’s brush or builders brush. Brush thoroughly and evenly, working into the substrate. Apply the second coat whilst the first coat is still tacky and hasn’t dried out
Spray Application
AQUAFIN-IC can be applied with the aid of suitable compressed air spray equipment, e.g. with the HighPump MB [peristaltic pump], Highpump Small or HIGHPUMP Pictor (spiral pump] from HIGH TECH, Berlin. Dependent on the final wet duty of the installation spray apply one or two coats in a circular motion. Apply the second coat whilst the first coat is still tacky and hasn‘t dried out
