Description
Emülzer® Permo Flow CW is a liquid crystallized waterproofing additive for concrete. Its chemicals react with the moisture and free lime found in the concrete, thus permeating deep into its structure.
Usage Areas
• Concrete applications requiring crystallized capillary waterproof effect such as;
• Floor, foundation and field concrete
• Curtains, girders and columns
• Reinforced concrete elements with thin and thick reinforcement
• All types of engineering buildings, ready-mixed concrete production and/or production at site.
Advantages
• During curing period and whenever exposed to water, it provides a permanent waterproof effect by filling capillary pores.
• As a liquid product it is superior to powder alternatives in that it can be easily mixed without getting pelletized.
• Concrete insulated by Emülzer® Permo Flow CW is resistant to both negative and positive water pressure.
• As a non-toxic product it can be safely used to insulate water tanks.
• It can be very easily used for single side molding applications in concreting areas.
• Added to concrete up to 1/3 of foundation height in raft fondations, it ensures waterproof concrete.
Application
• First of all the product itself should be mixed in its own container prior to application.
• The amount of Permo Flow CW added to concrete should be 2-3% of the weight of concrete.
• It is applied in two ways depending on the usage area.
At Concrete-Mixing Plants:
In the production of ready-mixed concrete, it is added to concrete mixing water found in the mixer. For best results, it is preferably better to feed water simultaneously with the additive. Concrete mixer should run at high speed for 3 minutes.
At Construction Sites:
The additive dosed as required is poured into the concrete found in the mixer. Concrete mixer should run at high speed for 5 minutes.
Concrete prepared with mixing water should not be fed with extra water. Each 10 litres of extra water added leads to a decrease of 10 kgf/cm² in the the pressure strength of concrete. At high temperatures and in cases where the distance between the concrete-mixing plant and the site takes more than half an hour Permo Flow CW may lead to instant slump losses, so it is recommended to carry out the application at site.
Consumption
• If Water/Cement ≤ 0,45; 2,0% of the weight of cement found in the mixture.
• If Water/Cement ≤ 0,50; 2,5% of the weight of cement found in the mixture.
• If Water/Cement ≤ 0,55; 3,0% of the weight of cement found in the mixture.
(Water/Cement ratio should not be higher than 0,55.)
