TP-1K

Cement-based, ready-to-use, single-component crystalline waterproofing mortar

A cement-based waterproofing material, produced by modification with active chemical additives, that creates a crystallising effect to protect reinforced-concrete elements and render them watertight

Areas of Use

• In interior and exterior applications at plinth level
• Protecting floor slabs against moisture and water seepage from the negative side
• In elevator pits
• Protecting concrete elements against the effects of corrosive and harmful salts carried by groundwater
• Foundations, wet areas, tunnels
• In underground garages
• In the waterproofing of terrace gardens
• In wet areas such as kitchens, balconies and toilets

Advantages

• Single-component
• Provides easy and fast application
• Produces water-insoluble crystals when it reacts with water
• Can be applied from the negative or positive side for the waterproofing of concrete elements
• Increases the abrasion and impact resistance of concrete
• Prevents groundwater from rising at plinth level
• Permeable to water vapour
• Resistant to freeze–thaw
• The crystals it forms do not dissolve, age or separate from the structure
• Non-combustible

Consumption	1.5–2.0 kg/m² of powder (based on an application 2 mm thick on a smooth surface under suitable conditions; may vary depending on surface characteristics and application conditions).
Shelf Life	It is recommended to use the product within 6 months of the production date, unopened in its original packaging, in a dry and frost-free environment, stacked no more than 8 bags high; once a bag has been opened it should be used within 1 day. When not in use, the packaging must be tightly resealed.

Application

The application surface must be free of pores and cracks. The surface must be cleared of substances such as form oil, paint and dust. Loose pieces in the surface (iron, wood, etc.) should be removed and the voids filled with a suitable Terapol repair mortar. Any active water leaks must first be stopped with TP-FIX. Application should begin after the surface has been dampened. Application tools: roller or brush.
