Setseal R
Cementitious capillary waterproofing render for concrete
Setseal R is a specially formulated single component cementitious crystalline capillary waterproofing system consisting of a blend of cement, fillers, and multiple activating chemicals. When mixed Setseal R produces a brush applied cementitious render. Setseal R prevents the penetration of water by causing a catalytic reaction that
produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. This crystalline growth reduces substrate porosity and can fill hairline cracks.
- Works by combining with free calcium in the cement to form insoluble crystals.
- Non-toxic system.
- Can be applied to moist and green concrete.
- Helps the substrate to resist chemical attack over a wide (pH) range, and freeze/thaw cycles.
- Excellent adhesion to the substrates.
- Durable system and resistant to alkalies.
- Becomes an integral part of the structure to which it is applied.
- Allows the structure to breathe.
- Gives waterproofing effect for positive and negative hydrostatic water pressure.
- Ease for application.
- Labor cost effective.
Waterproofing and protection of:
- Potable water tanks.
- Basements.
- Bridge decks.
- Tunnels.
- Swimming pools.
- Sewage tanks.
- Retaining walls and foundations.
- Underground parking.
The coverage obtained will vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface to which the materials is applied. As a guide, the coverage should be around 1 – 1.5 kg dry powder/m² per coat. A 25 kg bag should be sufficient to cover 17 – 20 m² per coat.
Setseal R is available in 25 kg polythene-lined paper sacks.
Protect from frost and store under a dry warehouse conditions at temperatures between 10°C and 30°C.
Setseal R has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored in proper conditions and unopened packs.
Setseal R complies with BS 6920:2000 as a suitable product in contact with water intended for human consumption with no effect on the public health of the quality of the water.
