KOI POND WATERPROOFING HYDRO SEAL 25KG CHARCOAL

KOI POND WATERPROOFING HYDRO SEAL 25KG CHARCOAL

Hydro Seal is a unique range of multi-purpose sealants which comprises of cementitious powders and activating chemicals.

It is a watertight compound with filling properties which penetrates concrete and masonry units forming part of the structure.

Hydro Seal is a multi-purpose sealant which can be used as a paint and a sealant in one. It can be used to seal swimming pools, koi ponds and water features etc, in a fraction of the time and with much less effort and mess than most other sealants available today.  Due to its cost effectiveness, Hydro Seal is also being utilized with great success in the building Industry for new constructions and building repairs.  As a decorative sealant it can be used on most interior and exterior surfaces, i.e.: walls, roof tiles, lintels etc.

Hydro Sealant is a waterproofing system with concrete, cementitious and masonry substrates.

It penetrates the surface through moisture absorption and reacts with the free lime forming a hard crystalline material which blocks the pores against water penetration and becomes an integral part of the structure.

It provides positive and negative waterproofing against dampness and ground water as well as hydrostatic pressure.

  Hydro Sealant is supplied in three sizes
  THE MIXING RATIO:1) 25kg Powder — 31t Bonding Agent — 61t Water2) 12,5kg Powder — 1 ,51t Bonding Agent — 3 It water3) 2kg Powder — 250ml Bonding Agent — 500ml Water* Using a suitable container, add the powder to the liquid and
  stir continuously to produce a thick slurry* Let mixed product stand for 2 minutes for the chemicals to activate. Stir the slurry again and now the product is ready for application on a moist surface.

  Application 

  • Prior to application, pre saturate the surface to be treated with clean water and ensure any free-standing water is removed before commencing with coating

  • Apply Hydro Sealant in one or two coats, each at right angles to the other.

  • Dual coat application is applicable only on water containing units, damp walls or on flat concrete roofs / surfaces. For adequate waterproofing protection and results a minimum
  coverage of 1 ,5kg per m2 should be specified. ie:- 1 st Coat, 1 kg per m2 and 2nd Coat 1/2 kg per m2. Moisturize surface before next coat is applied.

  • Whilst applying the Hydro Sealant, occasionally stir the slurry to prevent settlement of the solids within the container.

  • Do not retamper the product once it has started to set

  Do not allow surface to dry too rapidly. Moisturize by simply using a block brush and clean water or a very fine mist spray.
  Be careful not to apply product over running or accumulated water (Damp down with sponge).
  • Allow 12 hours curing between each and subsequent coats
  • Wash pool, pond, dam or any other water containing unit with clean water and soft brush or broom after at least 12 hours of last and final coat. Remove unsaturated powders if
  any with a sponge. Be careful not to drag feet or objects over surface. Then fill with water.
  • The pool cleaner should not be used for the first three weeks but normal start up chemicals (same as new marble plastered pools) should be used.
  • In the case of fish / koi ponds all unsaturated powders to be vacuumed up and the necessary steps taken, and water tested before putting fish in water.
