Penetrating Sealer

About Penetrating Sealer

CETEX Penetrating Sealer is high performing deep penetrating concrete masonry waterproofing sealer that forms a chemical barrier and protects concrete against water and moisture intrusion Based on Nano technology small molecules penetrates deep into untreated and uncoated cement surface forming an insoluble crystalline structure within the pores and capillaries increasing the density of the surface and creating a resistant consolidated waterproof barrier against water and moisture It can be applied on any cement based surfaces like slabs terraces beams columns ramps garages walls roads bridges tunnels underpasses trenches wastewater pits precast mortarplaster etcMECHANISMCETEX PS low alkaline silicate based first reacts with other free oxides and hydroxides like calcium hydroxide free lime inside the concrete to form corresponding silicates which are stronger molecules CETEX PS gels in the empty pores which is insoluble silica deposits Finally CETEX PS forms a microscopic siliceous layers on the surf ace which results in strong ceramic coating firmly bonded to the surface by strong silanol bonds This is stable against UV and high temperature Thus CETEX PS is a long lasting waterproofing and anticarbonation treatmentADVANTAGESPenetrates in the surface thereby decreases the porosity voids of the surface for life of concreteImproves resistance of the surface against various gases and liquid chemicalsDrastic reduction in water absorption ASTM C64297Improves resistance to chloride penetration in concrete surface RCPT as per ASTMC1202Improves abrasion resistance of surface when tested as per ASTM C779It does not decompose in UV or high temperatureIt prevents spread of fire fungal growth on surfaceIt does not discolor or show pedestrian or vehicular wear marksIt is more stable and has lower efflorescence compared to sealers based on sodium saltsProtects the surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproofIt is harmless environment friendly and easy to use VOC content is NILPaints other chemical coatings can be applied on treated surface after few hours of curingIts usage drastically cuts usage of carbon based waterproofing chemicalsHelps in Green Building Certification LEED ratingConcentrated for easy transportation and can be easily applied It is economical to useIt can be applied in both new as well as old constructions resulting in bette rquality durabilityPROPERTIESTotal Solids Content 2930approx Specific Gravity at 25C 125 002pH Alkaline VOC Content NilDIRECTION OF USEClean surface before application Remove surface coatings like curing compound paint etc For best result the surface should be dry to allow CETEXPS penetrate the pores and react CETEX PS should be diluted with water 34parts of water for 1 part of chemical Apply using a lowpressure sprayer or pour on surface and spread evenly by viperbroomFor Horizontal surfaces apply enough diluted CETEX PS to keep the surface wet for 30 minutes If areas dry out before that apply more diluted CETEX PS In hot dry or windy conditions dampen concrete before application to prevent flash dryingFor vertical surfaces apply from the bottom up A wetonwet application is recommended retreat within three to five minutes after initial application Repeated applications should be mad until the surface remains moist for a minute or so before solution disappearsRemove any dried powder residue using a stiff broom power sweeper or floor scrubbing machine preferably wet Restrict usage of the treated surface for 12 hours Coverage 10 20 sq mtr kgPACKING STORAGECETEXPS is available in 60 kg carboy or 250 kg barrel When stored in an airtight sealed container in normal conditions has a shelf life of 12 months
