LEAKAGE
REPAIR
Epoxy injection resins usually fail
in stopping active water leakage because of their slow
reaction time and inability to bond to wet surfaces;
this failure is resolved with a specially formulated
Polyurethane System. The actively flowing water will
be stopped by injecting material which reacts quickly
with the water to form an expanding foam.
The ENDURA PU 10 is a semi-rigid or flexible closed-cell
and strong bonding seal. To control the speed of the
chemical reaction, a certain percentage of accelerator
is added. The amount of accelerator added allows to
control gel times between a few seconds and several
minutes.
In spite of all the best efforts of engineers, architects
and contractors, structures develop cracks in unanticipated
places. When the structure settles and any movement
finally stops, the crack becomes stable. Most cracks,
however, continue to "WORK" due to several
influences such as thermal or stress induced forces
and soil moisture changes. Crack movement usually occurs
in cycles.
Cracks contract and expand periodically over time,
which may be as long as a year or as short as several
hours. Since most structures experience periodic movement,
rigid crack repair materials often fail or cause other
cracks in areas nearby.
Therefore, even if water infiltration was successfully
stopped initially, the ongoing movement of the structure
might cause a new failure. The Flexible Polyurethane
Injection System (ENDURA PU 10) was designed with these
problems in mind.
The ENDURA PU 10 has been designed for leakage repair
in problem areas such as expanding and contracting cracks,
expansion joints and cold joints. ENDURA PU 10 forms
a flexible gasket in the defective concrete, thus stopping
the leak and tolerating movement of the structure.
